[@BoxUpMyBones]

The irony of Hey Ya being classified as a wedding song, when the lyrics are about divorce and doomed relationships in general 😂 Also Mr Brightside is STILL charting to this day, which is absolutely insane to me.

[@petergabriel8961]

It’s a good song that’s why it’s still charting

[@Wailmur]

Brits must be so fucking tired of it. I think it's a great song by a really good band but hearing it constantly must be pretty miserable. Kinda how I feel about some of Queen's songs

[@TheUglyPants]

The whole point of Hey Ya was to be all of those things you listed. My understanding is that Andre 3000 was aware that lyrical content could be terribly depressing, but no one cares if the hook is catchy and makes people dance. So your take was pretty much affirmation of the whole point of the song.

[@aerialpunk]

I was surprised he called it a wedding song, lol. I'd never play it at a wedding in a million years. I feel like, if you played it at a wedding, you'd have to be hating the relationship and passive-aggressively slipping it onto the DJ list, lol. The shine came off the song as I slowly became aware of the lyrics after repeated listens. The lyrics are actually the reason I rarely listen to it anymore, it's just really pessimistic lol

[@cultreader9751]

@aerialpunk to be fair, "One" by U2 is a very popular wedding song. People aren't good at paying attention.

[@Van5195]

A bit of background on the Daft Punk video in case anyone wants it. Their Discovery album that the song is from is the soundtrack to “Interstella5555,” an anime film that that they produced in cooperation with Toei Animation (Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, One Piece, etc.). Leiji Matsumoto was the director on the film, and his visual style is heavily incorporated. He’s well known for his shows made in the 70s and 80s, such as Captain Harlock, Galaxy Express 999, and Space Battleship Yamato.

[@sollamander2206]

Mr Brightside is #61 on the UK Billboard SIngles Chart right now. Killers weren't really a hipster band. I remember associating Hot Fuss and Songs About Jane together as very mainstream rock that older people liked. Take it Off by The Donnas aged a lot better than the song you picked.

It’s one verse and chorus sung twice. Amazing for karaoke!

[@RB-oc7ti]

Mr Brightside has an undeniable catchy chorus. It also has a simple cool guitar sound combined with 80’s synth. But the best thing is the under appreciated drumming. Very good song with an 80’s vibe that holds up. Video does suck.

Dance music is structured completely differently from rock and pop music, so it seems like "just the hook" if you're expecting a different song structure. But TBF "One More Time" was mid when it came out (house heads didn't like it) esp. compared to what they did on "Homework".

It’s crazy watching the recent footage from Reading Festival, and most of the people in the audience weren’t even born when the song came out, yet are screaming along every single word.

[@blacksunshine7485]

@agonzalez7095 We're not talking about parties. We're talking about national anthems which would mean all occasions and frequency on those occasions. I've heard Don't Look Back in Anger at about every sporting event in the country, weddings, birthdays, karaoke, you name it. It may not be a party song, but a national anthem isn't either. It's about overall popularity and frequency. The Cha Cha Slide has arguably been played more at distasteful parties around the world but no one would name that a national anthem. You have to ask yourself what would make a national anthem? Being played a ton at parties doesn't cut it. It has to carry national relevance and Don't Look Back in Anger has reached that level of British cultural significance. Played at all moments of national 'togetherness'.

[@guy8029]

@@blacksunshine7485 I did say people JOKE about it being our national anthem, not that it is. I think we’re comparing two very different songs to each other. I get where you’re coming from, I know Don’t Look Back In Anger has been big in our culture, especially after what happened at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester. You could also argue something like Seven Nation Army or Sweet Caroline as that is chanted at pretty much any sports match/big social event and played at hundreds of parties a year, and still get hundreds of plays on radio and other medias still. So does Don’t Look Back. I feel like Mr. Brightside, despite being written by an American band, and not really having the emotional brevity of DLBIA, just seems to bring everybody together in a lets party sort of way. It seems to be handed down to the younger generation, whereas, as much as Oasis are still regarded as one of our biggest bands, it doesn’t seem to travel over to the younger generation. Perhaps that song has negative connotations? As I have no doubt in my mind some younger peoples first exposure to that song may have been after the attacks in Manchester. We’re all entitled to our opinions my dude, you keep on being you 👍🏻

[@chadhenry961]

Hey Ya! is a black sheep hit that is not representative of Outkast as a whole, The Love Below is really an Andre 3000 retro pop solo album which was packaged as an Outkast double album alongside Big Boi solo album Speakerboxx (which has a hip hop sound closer to Outkast). Hey Ya being more pop than their typical sound is why it got more airplay and a wider/whiter fanbase who tend to overlook their hip hop stuff. In contrast many serious Outkast fans see Hey Ya! as a bit overrated and their more typical experimental hip hop (like breakout hit Ms. Jackson) as superior

[@mindseye1234567]

If you like aquemini, start with southernplayalisticcadillacmusic and move to atliens. Elevators has one of the greatest verses of andre’s career. “What kind of car you drive?

[@AchakBrooks]

"Hey Yeah" is awesome, and the lyrics are so sad... I thought the point of the song was to show/talk about how "the majority doesn't listen they just want a catchy beat". Doesn't he even mumble something like that at some point before the final chorus? I thought things like this are the appeal of Andre3000's career/writing and maybe why people might like/culty the dude. Also, Daft Punk was great, and this album was too, a lot of the French touch and Paris youth finding their own movement of expression through sampling the old, feeling/representing it well but making it their own. The thing I hate is how music/art is assimulated and filtered through... American Capitalism lens. And that becomes what people identify the music/art with. For a punk, I would have hoped Finn would have picked up, on the above, or maybe he did and I missed something, doesn't matter. Just wanted to say I like both.

[@lemonZzzzs]

The more I watch this channel, the more I forget that this _has_ to be a troll persona spitting these takes. It's, basically, tailored to get a music nerd's blood boiling.

Hey Ya! is also pretty depressing

[@inkwisitive]

Not just cheating, but specifically paranoia and jealousy around it, imagining all the worst details and making yourself feel bad. But it’s tied to this gloriously anthemic tune! Overall I think the feeling is almost a big celebration of your flaws, and I get why it ends up being played at weddings and stuff. I think there was even a viral video where everyone was singing it acapella after a funeral

[@patrickhill3260]

Killers “Hot Fuss” is one of the best albums to come out in the past 20 years, probably one of the best debut albums of all time as well. It’s odd as I didn’t take to it at the time when it was released (I was just entering high school when it came out), but in my later 20’s I was blown away by it. Was just a really cool blend of the Cars, Duran Duran, the Cure, & Depeche Mode, with a singer reminiscent of Roy Orbison. Even with their influences a bit on their sleeves, they still managed to put there own individual stamp on their sound though. Their follow up material got a bit Springsteen’ish, was okay, but not close to the vibe they had on Hot Fuss.

[@ryanmaass5360]

I have lived most of my millennial life thinking I was crazy for being unable to listen to that Outkast song. Seriously - I thought I've been losing my mind every 20 seconds or so since I was 12 -- because that's how frequently I heard it. Thank you. I feel seen.

An an electronic music fan. One More Time was more than just that shopping music track in the background. It single-handedly along with the entire Discovery album bring electronic music into the radio mainstream. Before then, rave or even euro dance trance etc etc were occasionally known globally but the impact wasn’t as huge to the average audience, it was still quite niche. Then Daft Punk release this album and this track. A nod to where electronic dance music started with disco. And brought together the blueprint for the festival , edm, dj culture we have today. After this album everything changed , and the way we understand electronic music can be pin pointed here. So maybe it doesn’t hold up but I do think it’s influence is immense! I know in your older video you mentioned Skrillex as doing the same which i agree but it couldn’t of been possible without Daft Punks Discovery and this track as well as Harder,Better,Faster Stronger !

[@lavenderllamamusic]

Their Alive 2006/2007 tour forever changed the game. Electronic festivals took that concept and ran with it. It's true too, Skrillex attended one of the shows and it influenced him and his solo work. They really accomplished so much during their entire run. Just wish I could've seen them live

Somehow, "Mr. Brightside" has become the 3rd quarter break song for University of Michigan football games in recent years.

So the reason why Daft Punk's videos for Discovery look like 70's anime is because the creator of Galaxy Express 999, Space Battleship Yamato (Star Blazers) and Space Pirate: Captain Harlock, Leiji Matsumoto. He directed a movie for the entire Discovery album, but only a few select songs were selected for music video airtime. The guys from Daft Punk were big fans of Matsumoto's work and recruited him for this project. As far as Finn's take on "One More Time" goes, i don't think he's off base. Not my favorite song from discovery by a longshot. Aerodynamic, Face to Face, Crescendolls and Something About us all much better songs.

Phife and Q Tip are the blueprint for dynamic duos in Hip Hop but Andre 3000 and Big Boi took it to astronomical levels. More variety in beats and rap styles. Aquemini and ATliens easily go toe to toe with Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders. OutKast’s debut trumps ATCQ’s debut, BR&L, and TLM. And we’re not even mentioning Stankonia which would be the final nail in the ATCQ coffin.

Mr. Brightside being a wedding anthem is proof that lyrics don't matter to folks. The song is great but the lyrics are crushing.

[@iatspirit]

Couldn’t agree more about Angels & Airwaves. When I first heard them in 2006 I thought the music was boring and soft. I wanted it to sound more like blink as well. Then, when blink announced their 2009 return, wanting to hear “new” music from the band, I decided the closest thing was to revisit AvA. That’s when I realized how great the band really is, especially their first two albums. When I assess the greatness of a musician, I tend to look past technical skills. Of course becoming a world class singer is difficult, but I’ve always appreciated great song writing and feel/emotion in music above all else, and Tom’s got it.

That Donnas song is from a movie, also the dudes on the video were from a movie when they wanted to be pro skaters or some shit like that, I do not remember the name of the movie tho.

[@aerialpunk]

Totally agree about Celebrate. I never got the appeal of that song, even as a "white person" in the 2000s lol. It's got a good hook and all that, but it just loops and loops and I can only pay attention to it for like a minute before I start to lose interest. I'll admit it was a bit cathartic to hear you criticize it, I was an outlier at the time it was out 😅 Also: does anyone seriously play Hey Ya at weddings? It's like, a song about being unhappy in a relationship, being non-committal, with the line "nothing lasts forever, so what makes love the exception?" 😆 I'd never play a song like that at my wedding lol

[@Bkens023]

I love you Finn, but the Outkast disrespect is crazy lol

[@Sheenoobie]

One more time still holds up amazingly well

[@ideiasradicaispt9772]

I like "Sorry Mrs. Jackson" quite a lot. "Hey ya" kind of grinds my gears these days.

[@prehistoricturtlesaurus5309]

Word. Not a big outkast fan but Mrs. Jackson's not bad

[@gilmo5994]

Killers song is a classic.whole CD is great

[@Osirisjb21]

Finn really putting me on blast when he was eviscerating Hey Ya 😆

[@metalheadjake3339]

The Killers - Mr Brightside is the song guaranteed to make all us white people get up on the dancefloor 😂 Heard that joke somewhere and found it funny

[@ViltrumiteIsRite99]

This was the song played on Karaoke Fridays. Band kids loved it.

[@prehistoricturtlesaurus5309]

You'll find me in the kitchen then, talking with "the ethnics"

[@OpulentJoe911]

“The hipster bar on the other side of town” 😭💀

[@charlieccwm1907]

Mr Brightside is the unofficial uk national anthem

[@tompetruno9922]

Mr. Brightside has gained some kind of new popularity among college students. Particularly at Michigan they play it at football games between the 3rd and 4th quarter. The whole student section belts it out. It’s their version of Jump Around at Wisconsin. Interesting vibe, I always loved the song though.

[@MrHURRICANE43]

For as much as you want to hate Mr. Bright side because it’s overplayed and mainstream. You just can’t because its a certified banger.

[@FuneraryDirge]

In the UK Mr brightside is basically a second national anthem, it's played at the end of every club night, it's our equivalent to closing time by semisonic.

[@RatelHBadger]

17:20 White Person wedding playlist, HAS to include Living on a Prayer, Don't Stop Believing, that Rock me Momma like a wagon wheel song, and Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Maybe even chuck in Angels by Robbie Williams and Heaven by Bryan Adams as slow dances.

[@RatelHBadger]

Oh and Smashmouth's version of I'm a Believer

[@stevenramirez1179]

Just commenting to let you know that Oliveira pulled out a week before this video dropped and Alexander Volkanovski versus Islam Makhachev 2 is going down.

[@plusmin09]

Maybe "One More Time" is intended to sound like a loop, in reference to the title?🤷‍♂

[@HNXMedia]

Can't stand Outkast simply because the directions that come with a Polaroid camera specifically tell you NOT to shake the picture. Yeah, I'm that guy.

[@trowa9960]

I feel the same about the Killers now as I did then. It's okay. Daft Punk... if I never heard them again I'd be happy. The Donnas - I like some songs by the Donna's but I never heard that one before. It's okay. I'll probably forget about it in a day but wouldn't change it if it came on a random shuffle. Angels and Airwaves - not a fan when they came out but pop punk has grown on me much more over the years. I kinda dig it now. Outkast - I think I've heard it at every wedding I've been to since 2006ish. I forgot about this song and band even existed. I don't hate it, but it does nothing for me.

[@JakeGordon-cp7eo]

ive had sole custody of my son, now 3, for over a year. When his mum first went awol mr brightside was his favorite song, and he definitely uses it as a coping helper to this day.

[@Monius13]

Sleep Token's version of Hey Ya gets the emotion of the lyrics across better. Outkast's version is really deep, though. It's super ironic you say "wedding song" when the meaning behind the song is anything but that. I mean Andre even mentions it in the song itself. Says ya'll don't want to hear me, you just want to dance. It's actually super depressing, but wrapped in a very upbeat catchy dance tune. Was really genius for the time and honestly, I think it still holds up for that. For proof, just look at any top 20 list and you can find another example of this somewhere. It's literally the same thing Motion City Soundtrack does. Uses deep, dark lyrics but wraps them in a more upbeat tune.

[@RumoursOfFamine]

Finn knows more about what he hates, more than what we like

[@SconnerStudios]

You should have used the anime jiggle for the thumbnail to get more views.

[@StefanMedici]

Re the Daft Punk music video. For the album Discovery Daft Punk got Toei Animation to create a whole anime movie called Interstellar 5555. Had the box set which came with the album and movie. Film had no dialogue just the album in order with the visuals.

[@PapriceP]

The Razr had a QWERTY keyboard. I don't need a camera on a phone, I have my digital camera.

[@benjaminwatt2436]

its so funny, because i think most people, like myself didn't see why a phone needed a carmera. now it just seems like a no-brainer
