Obadiah Parker – Hey Ya (OutKast Cover)

Posted by Charlie Goodvibes on May 3rd, 2010

Sorry for the late kickoff to acoustic week. Today was a shizz-show, and I’ve had to catch up on things. Plus my internet conveniently decided to peace out for 2 hours earlier tonight.

I discovered Obadiah Parker, and Mat Wheddle purely via this cover, and it’s always been one of my favourite random-song-to-acoustic covers. I’ve got another Obadiah Parker song planned for later on this week.

There’s something about Mat’s voice, and the simplicity of reducing the Outkast studio production track to a single acoustic guitar that just makes this song incredible to listen to. It never fails to find itself on any acoustic mix-tape that I make, and I highly recommend giving it a listen.

You can also pick it up on Itunes for a buck. Check out how awesome Obadiah Parker at their site here or on MySpace.

Here’s the vid on YouTube:
