PET SNAKE!

[ssnuaa]

Gracias de nuevo!

[terrymanolitsis]

awesome dude, really really awesome

[Jefferey123]

Check out my pathetic attempt to cover the will young version of it! Yes it's another cover of a cover so 'somniamagus' probably shouldnt check it out! Haha. Please leave me a comment.

[Jefferey123]

Haha it does sound like the theme tune to taxi but its awesome! Nice one!

[munkeyfranky]

pet snake

[Rhodes1978]

???

[TheCama]

sweet sound.

[speeddemon4]

sounds so much like a door bell but wouldnt that be the best door bell ever!!! Great playing mayte, keep it up

[snwcm87]

reminds me of the theme song to the tv show taxi, but this is so cool.

[whatisreal01]

for what it's worth...the theme show from taxi is this song called Angela by Bob James

[jayleeds2006]

God that was pretty. I love friggin' rhodes pianos. Nice rendition.

[themelodicarts]

i like the effect good sir.

[Dreojs5]

wow

I like that sound very much

[dilheez]

dude, you play real well not to knock you, but the effect is horrible and annoying

[vousden]

nice song, shame you had to apply that ridicolous effect on it.

[aintathug]

this is dope dude

good job

[Servant324]

wowow! PLEASE PLEASE work on that some more, get a good singer, and post the whole thing. (a bit better audio would be nice, too!) bloody good work

[littlemissellyme]

oh man i just bash out the four chords repeatedly!! You should get a singer on there you know!

[danielhayles]

I think it should be A7 (as im major, dominant 7) or A altered... instead of Am7...

[SomeSortofGenius]

Nope, Amin7 is definitely 100% correct. It's the key of C, so that means Amin is the relative minor. If he switched to Amaj, I guarantee that the major third (C#) would positively set your teeth on edge.

[danielhayles]

Who cares? I said I think. It's not a big deal :D

[NJlo]

which can be a good thing!

[dionsansoucie]

very nice!!!

[jadefalcon5]

now thats a good sounding EP right there xD

[leafninja13]

awesome fx...

[Pondabear]

Man I want this in mp3 format so I can make it longer and add other sounds to it. XD

[ModistOne]

Check out my profile to see how you can reproduce "Hey Ya" yourself on a regular keyboard

[NoPeaches]

love it!

[SomeSortofGenius]

He's got it in the key of C, so unless I'm missing something, the chords should be Cmaj, Fmaj, Gsus, Amin7.

[Rhodes1978]

You really are some sort of genius.

[SomeSortofGenius]

Thanks hon, I think you're swell, too.

[CalebBearPig]

@Rhodes1978 lawl

[skakafilen]

how about bless the world whit the chords your are playing i wanna play it too

[alteredchords]

this was nice...the only thing is I wish you would have done some improves over the changes...that would have been nice....but it's not what you wanted...what you did was cool anyway...being a musician myself I'm not really impressed...but it was played well and sounded very nice!

[henrybenry]

i wish i could play piano like that-

[gershonhopster]

interesting interepetation. i lil less "soul" than outkast's version & a bit less emotion than than the emotastic Matt Weddle cover, but still kool to hear...

[Anarchysoccergrl]

This is alot better than that indie ass cover.

[antwanp]

Damn, I love that Fender Rhodes sound... It's just so mellow! 5 out of 5 for the Amazing cover! Somniamagus doesn't know what he/she's talking about! Keep up the great work!

-Antwan L.

[lellabellydancer]

Nice job, but just so you know, the Evangenitals are the ones to have first covered this song, not Weddle. They even have it for sale on itunes and have for a long time. :) Anyway, I like hearing it with the piano, but you should definitely check out the Evangenitals version, her voice is so beautiful!

[Duryon]

dont be dipshits and just appreciate a good tune!

nice one!

[UltimateMrBoogie]

Love it man! Mellow Hey Ya! is the way to go...

I notice somniamagus hasn't posted any videos...

[tolchocker]

Guys. Hello. This is an instrumental cover. He reinterpreted the tune to organ and changed its pop vibe to jazzy blues. Check out Brad Mehldau for more of the same.

[b2hill]

Wow. Some of you guys are really hard on him. I thought it was awesome.

[ralbon]

that is, 'somniamagus' is confused

[somniamagus]

You realize this isn't a cover of anything, much less a cover of a cover. You just played "Hey Ya". As in, the original "Hey Ya".

What the hell.

[Rhodes1978]

Dude, you've got some anger management issues.

I posted this video in response to a video posted of Matt Weddle of Obadiah Parker. In that video, Matt covers "Hey Ya". Therefore, my video is a cover of Matt's cover (and hence, a cover of a cover).

[somniamagus]

Right, except perhaps you're not familiar with the dynamics of a cover. You took Matt Weddle's toned down, mellow version of Outcast's work, and essentially reinstated all of the melodic concepts that Weddle removed. In fact, a good deal of your harmonic stanzas are identical to Andre 3000's, granted in a different key.

[somniamagus]

You didn't 'cover' anything, given that the culturally accepted definition of the phrase is to take a previously popularized song and add your own unique elements to it. You just played 'Hey Ya'.

[PseudoGnosis]

You're absolutely correct, Somniamangadangadingdongus. He didn't add or change ANYTHING in this song! At all! By eliminating the vocals other instruments and changing up the tempo and mood of the piece, he assured that it was exactly the same as the original. Shame on Rhodes1978 for clearly just superimposing the MP3 of the song over a video of you playing the piano.

[Rhodes1978]

You do realize that if there were no similarities between my version and the original version, it wouldn't be a cover but a completely different song?

You have no idea what you are taking about with respect to music, do you?

[somniamagus]

You didn't 'cover' anything, given that the culturally accepted definition of the phrase is to take a previously popularized song and add your own unique elements to it. You just played 'Hey Ya'.

[omgwtfz0rz]

what a tool

Anywho, nice job.

[ralbon]

uhh... yr a little confused about what a cover song is

[effigycm]

Hahahahahahahaha

*breath*

hahahahahahhahaha

On another note, good job Rhodes. It's a good cover.

[djb0622]

I can see somniamagus now, a fat nerd wiping his greasy brow as he furiously retorts to the sane comments of others.

Seriously, dude. Get off it. It's a good _cover_.

[danielhayles]

You need to chill out dude... Adding your own unique elements to a song is called 'arranging'. Covering means you can play it as similar or different as you like. Boo-Yah!!!!!

[lexxxington]

...that's cool...

[frankidade]

wow

[tornsuits]

Awsome dude!

[chevsnholdens]

Impressive :)

[fanofrhodes1978]

I think that's one of the best cover of a cover song I have ever heard! Hip Hop Horray!

[grammarqueen]

I second that "Hip Hop Hurray".
