Hey Ya

Did you know that popular music can actually be pretty good?  Or that dance tunes can be tweaked to find greater meaning?

"Hey Ya" by Outkast is in fact an example of this.  That's right, the song that proclaims to women that they should "shake it like a polaroid picture" is actually a pretty good song, and not just to dance to.  It only requires a little bit of tweaking.  This tweaking is pretty basic.  It's known in some circles as making the song acoustic.  

That's it.  Take away everything but the acoustic guitar and vocals and you've got yourself one nice song (and change up the notes a little bit).  Don't believe me?  Listen to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS2PRP89eqM 

That's all I've got... sorry that it's nothing substantial after such a long wait

Well the youtube link can be tuned up a little to look better, but nobody is perfect so it is fine with me
