Hey Ya - Acoustic

[Marco1Rabadan]

did anyone else get chills

[Zonkerrrs]

You are so goooooooooooood

[Th3Apocolyps3]

Nothing is forever!!!!!!!! Then what makes then what makes then what makes. Love exception.. God I sang this for my talent show in 8th grade acouple years ago. Had the guitar and everything. Everyone loved it! I dont sing for anyone anymore though. I like the props for it just some people are real haters. This guy gave me the curage to sing infront of people. even if im not doing it anymore. he brought it out of me for a little while haha. Thank you. :)

[SleezySteev]

Is that zack?! ;p

[ykatnoe]

[blaphemyrgf]

Zack Galifinakis can sing pretty good. =p

[Reaverisgrovy]

[SoccerSpencer21]

14 people need to shake it like a polariod picture!

[superbns5]

@SoccerSpencer21 shut up

[darksummitoflies]

Hey look its zach galifianakis

[Soxgal602]

this version is crazy good. it really makes you realize that this is not a fun song or anything fun about it. it actually has a really sad message to it. the version by outkast is so upbeat and fun but when you slow it down and really listen to the lyrics it is a wee bit depressing!!! great version i love both versions!!!!

[dundee180]

Gooooooood job! You have serious talent on the stage. I love it.

[iluv2rant]

impressed

[richarddickems]

bearly anyones watched it because the orginal sucks ass. but this is just fucking amasing.

[Nate813plus1]

@richarddickems ur crazy the original iz awesome- awesome song writing, awesome voice.awesome video

[richarddickems]

@Nate813plus1 the dudes voice in the original sounds like a donkey butt fucking a rabbet

[ojhda]

Almost as good as Ted

[kingofallguitarheros]

@ojhda i preferred ted's from scrubs

[ojhda]

@kingofallguitarheros Yeah, it was him I was thinking about too ;)

[prdoomsday]

the lyrics in this song are some of the best ever made.

[tiagoseger]

Parabéns nossa!!!

[juanpelota9]

[jkeyboi]

[maxrock80]

[Shacary]

uff... esta vercion es magnifica, muy pero muy relajante me gusta!

[Psiche100]

acustic version of this song is on an episode of "Scrubs" in the 8 season. it is wonderfoul

[rozelainebenedetti]

muito show

[fumigspv]

Awsome job!

[shirotatsu1]

This song was done on the scrubs episode "My Soul on Fire pt. 2" and it made the ending completely. That episode was my favorite, and I watch it just so I can hear this rendition.

[asihinerice04]

all the other covers cannot compare.

[RevJimiG]

I think its really cool

[rosshole2007]

om gi totally love jack johnsons version!!! heard it in the radio just a few minutes ago for the first time and just had to download it!!! love it!

[Ulquiorra57]

frenchement je préfère cette version à la version originale de Outkast qui est déjà très bien j'adore ce que t'as fait et suis l'idée de cocolouise

I really love this version, more than the original's song of Outkast I just love that : now follow what cocolouise said and become a star !

[zostar2]

Great job!

[ConaHemmi]

You're A Lot Like Jack Johnson, Great Job, Amazing Playing And Voice

[julz415]

[julz415]

[macbookdemon]

Matt Weddle is part of the band called Obadiah Parker. You can buy their CD from their site or from iTunes. I'm unsure about stores, except that the ones where I live don't sell it.

[stuntdog63]

you sir, are amazing. and beautiful too.

[hikimenwaza]

when i saw the guy i was like "this is going to be a numa numa joke" but then after watching it was amazed

[Gothic1982]

These guys have got the substance. Real good. I'm definitely buying their album when it comes out.

[plpmstr]

actually really good. I thought I'd suck, but it was good

[llhmrll]

becaus ethis is good doesnt change the fact that you do suck

[gummered]

nice.... in every way..nice...

[CrucifixHugues]

Vraiment très bien...

[punkrockmatt69]

man ur awsome this is actully a awsome song when ur playing it good work.

[robbiebrown5000]

Best Cover Ever! I would pay for this anyday, is it in the Shops? I would buy it from Itunes but i have Vista and it isnt compatible!

What can i say, SUPERB!!!! Any more from this guy?????

[justling]

one of the best cover i've ever heard !

Plenty of 'energetic' song turned subdued on covers...Tori's Nirvana "smells like teen spirit", Alanis - BLack Eyed Peas " My Humps"

[AztecConsulting]

The CD was just released on iTunes! Clear, clean, crisp, and AWESOME!

[kari05]

This was awesome.

[JohnaldChaffinch]

anyone know the name of this guy? i'd like to know if he's religious or whatever, just such a soulful voice.

[Bredac]

Matt Weddle

[MCKloze]

Brilliant - I much prefer this to the original. This does sound like a sad sound - the tune and structure of it would make an exceptional sad song - if only the lyrics were different =)

Great Job!

[Niggzilla]

how can u make a party song sound so sad?.. huh huh huh?.. pretty cool though..

[JohnaldChaffinch]

if this guy got with a band and worked at making it a praty tune - it would be better than andre 3000's. heh, deal with it.

[dieheart100]

i like people like you hu can sing and play guitar good job u ever thought of a crearer

[JohnaldChaffinch]

this rules! i dont think it's live as it appears to be in the vid

[kbekul]

oh my god! I liked this version much better than the original! Awsome job dude!

[ArdoRdot]

that was amazing.

[lugibaer]

great job and great voice. is there a way to download this song. sounds very awesome

[laxman21dude]

wow man thats 100% better then the original

[caelisan]

[magicpinkmonkey]

[wrc87]

[EMOxSIDNEY]

speechless

[major2]

that's the way to show MTV brats what REAL music sounds like :)

[Aplustradomus]

Aaah man that was really nice..I mean really smooth..

[andmataren]

I really think you should add that the guy singing is Obadiah Parker, since people obviously think you're the one to give credit for how awesome this version is ^^

[Beckholm2046]

his name is matt weddle from the band obadiah parker to clear that up, and if you liked this look into some of there original stuff. really good music

[StillH2O]

Is there not a single version of this on youtube without the outkast video spliced in? I find it distracting. Funny that somebody would think this is Iron and Wine. There are other bearded guys with acoustic guitars in the world. ;)

[sandwichhuman]

isint this covor by obdiah parker????

[delkow]

Unfreakingbelievably awesome. Great job man!

[orlin2000]

man i think you are awesome, definately gives the original more than a run for its money, i dont know what the deal is with honours and such but this vid definately deserves one. keep it up.

[kajebiewatsits]

I don't think it's Iron and Wine, the singer sounds nothing like that. He's a whisperer. This guy isn't.

Props on the song though I thought it was pretty darn good! Cheers!

[ArtCrimez]

wow man that is awesome..i love this song and yoru version of it

[Ouis]

thats iron and wine isnt it?

[Screenwriter10]

Great job, bro.

[dustygeo]

[finnsmith]

[surfing456]

I reckon the beard looks alright, just cause he's not a metro i.e (homo).

[Caleb48kb]

[inzf]

[angelundercover1990]

pretty.

[Slime16]

WOW

[BgDog18]

You are proof-positive that rap and acoustic can gel harmoniously---absolutely stunning---Please, someone ink a deal for this man!

[duybo]

van-anh loves this video. thats alllll that matters.

[hideoussausage]

nicely done

[slax303]

absolutely awesome dude. Ive never commented on anything on this site, but this song is just too good to not leave a compliment. Amazing what some talent can do to a song. Keep it up man

[spinn12]

Unreal. Absolutely unreal.

Music industry - Pay attention: THIS GUY IS WHAT WE WANT.

[MarcanOlsson]

Way better than the original!

[bfsan]

like a 1000 times better than andre 3000's version

[Larae718]

where can I download???

[mechasloth]

Obediah Parker is the name of the artist for those of you wondering

[warleigh]

WOW!!! so amazing way better than original any way of downloading the music from anywhere?? xxx

[butabong]

it's really good

[JackKingston]

hey yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[jonerd]

Hey yaaaaaaaaaaaaa (and so on) :p

[kidkameleon3]

hats off

[mlok]

Hey, JTMoron8 - I am a professional composer with three music degrees. You are full of shit. It isn't that hard to write a basic song with three chords. It is hard to make something good out of it.

Ever listen to jazz? Do you think that Nina Simone, Betty Carter, and Ella Fitzgerald are worthy of regard only by slackjawed peons? You are jealous and you don't hide it well.

[majunior]

love it!!! :D

[sndman40]

Good on ya! Mate ... Cheers!

[sndman40]

Great stuff. Good balance, and breakdown.

[lilanimekid]

wow that's was great

[ramzeybusiness]

this is better than the original

[southernspectre]

good stuff! do ms.jackson!. But really though this kicks ass. But really though also do ms.jackson! lol

[yamdizzle]

I don't care if a 16 year old could learn how to play this song with only a year of experience (well actually that'd be cool cuz im 17 and I wanna learn how to play it). But anyways, what different does it freaking make?! It still sounds awesome and this guy did it hella good.

[boomertexas]

JTMarlin8-yes,some of us ARE musicians. I have a composition & theory degree from a major university. And you?

Musicianship is not just the ability to PERFORM your art, but to recognize a new perspective in something that already exists, & express it in a new way, to a new audience, in a different way. I'm not giving this guy a Grammy or anything, but maybe you should give him some credit, get off your high-horse, and enjoy the sounds. Just my slack-jawed opinion.

Anyone else agree? Disagree?

[TopGuy112]

i Friggen agree

[honnisukiyanen]

I agree.

Besides, last time I checked music was about expression and enjoyment, not how HOMG!HARD it was to write. It doesn't matter HOW he got it to sound so lovely, it only matters that it does.

[jonerd]

FINALLY ! Someone with an idea about music!

AGREED !

[andrihugo]

I like this version of the song. It makes me happy :) But I don't think it's comperable with the original. I like them both very much in different ways.

[ohbabycarpediem]

this is awesome!

[Pike16]

Friekin wonderful.

[differentbreed]

yeah a cool version mate well done. not better than the original just different. but very good.

[Yonatan939]

Wow he is AMAZING soo much better song than the original...

[jovib1]

they played this on the radio station i isten to.... its great man ay better than the original cover songs cat be the same they have to be changed

[JTMarlin8]

Are you people kidding me? Obviously none of you are musicians and none of you understand how difficult it is to compose a song. This guy has a good voice... but all he did was pick up a guitar, slap a capo on the 4th fret and play a bunch of easy chords. The only recognition he deserves is a pat on the back from slackjawed peons like all of you.

[pharcyde183]

Jesus Christ... He Mr. Elite Musician nobody is saying he is the best out there. He took a popular song, changed it up a little bit and it sounds good.

[buttermyphloem]

Well, JT is a rather brilliant musician. Love the work he put up for the public to see. He DOES have right to degrade others, I feel.

[sj67]

Noone has any right to degrade others just because they thin k they're better than others at something. that was a really stupid comment u just made u know...mebbe think about what u type before actually clicking post comment... -,-

[buttermyphloem]

It was sarcasm.

[hectified]

Obviously, you are an ass..

[buttermyphloem]

We all wish we were as enlightened as you. Can you teach us to have JUSTIFIED opinions of music? Please? I only now how to be subjective in the area of artistic interpretation.

[jonerd]

There are only two types op people in the world. Those who devide the world into two types of people, and those who dont. You are one of those inconsiderate bags of douche that devide the world. Are you a musician ?

If you are:

You show us better

If you aren't:

Shut your fucking hole and go eat your mothers cunt.

(This song is better than the original by the way everyone)

[sj67]

Sure it was sarcasm...

(Notice the irony?)

Ok that was a joke.

My mistake then you aren't the ass i assumed you to be. Although i have to say sarcasm is sometimes very hard to pick up in text.

[JackCruise]

This guy is amazing...soo much more feeling and almost changes the meaning of the song. He should pay to have the rights to sing and cover that song because he could make some money...he deserves it...not just another cover

[holyfakeemail]

who is the singer? this cover is better than the original

[pharcyde183]

Mat Weddle of Obadiah Parker

[TopGuy112]

ya man!..it ROX!!

[pmcgovern1]

A radio station in Austin, TX played this today on their morning show. This song is easily better than the original. I hope he gets some major publicity for this one. He deserves it.

[mayorbill11]

lol

[t3nchi]

I think this is pretty badass.
