HEY! YA! What Did You Do With Your FriendBurst Downtime?
So what did you do with your two hours of no Friendburst?
Me, I worked on a cover of one of my favorite songs. It’s a cover of a cover, as a guy named Mat Weddle made a somewhat-famous YouTube cover of Outkast’s Hey Ya! Of course, he used one of those big, 6-stinged bass ukulele contraptions for his…
Enjoy!
I have a weird personal history with this song. Back in 2005, it was a big hit, all over TV and the radio. Both my fiancee and I really liked it, and the Outkast video was released while we on our marriage trip in Las Vegas. It played over and over and over. I suppose it was “our song…”
Sort of an omen that the marriage would last less than 2 years as the song is all about breaking up.
I went to a wedding of some friends of mine once where the deejay decided to play Annie Lennox’s “Why” (another famous break up song) as the newly married couple’s first dance together. Most of us at the reception were fairly music savvy and we were looking at each other with raised eyebrows as the bride and groom danced.
Another thing I did with my two hours away from FriendBurst was to knock on the door of the upstairs neighbors to talk about their children peering in my window all hours of the day. If you managed to make it to the end of my video above, you will see the exact moment I decided to do this…
😉
What else WAS there to do?

<_<
At first I misread what you had wrote there,and thought the children of your upstairs neighbours were PEEING in your window all hours of the day 😯
well Outkast were funny but u put more feeling in it 😛

That was great Joko. It was different than expected, I thought it was going to be more like Andre but was pleased it sounded more Leonard Cohen. Nice one.
I got packed…going out of town tonight on business! 🙄
EXCELLENT version of “Hey Ya” but I must confess that I never paid attention to the lyrics before. Such a peppy sounding tune for a break up song. 😛
I watched the movie “Up” while Friendburst was doing whatever it was doing to itself. (I hope it enjoyed it more than I did. I was trying to login and check out my blog comments. I thought my DSL server was on the fritz 👿 ) “Up” such a sweet and sad movie. Those Pixar flicks are like that. I’m still in therapy over Toy Story 3 😥
Hey-ya, Joko
I hope the talk with the parents went well.
I mowed the backyard, showered and then had dinner with my son.
My son and I watched the preseason football games and talked about all the freeagent changes and then did a mock draft together.
Loved your rendition of Hey-ya.
I spent my time trying to keep the Baby Girl out of the box of apples the Man picked off one of the trees in the back forty. The trees are almost six years old and they’re finally producing some decent fruit. We juiced about twenty of them when they took a break. It looked awful, but tasted so yummy.
I won’t say exactly how I would handle your situation regarding your small nuisances from above. Let’s just say that I strive to be the old lady on the street that the children fear. 😈
I don’t believe I’ve ever heard that song before, but I have to admit I live a sheltered life 😉
So tell me, what did you say to those girls parents and how did they take it??
Hey Joko,
“I went to a wedding of some friends of mine once where the deejay decided to play Annie Lennox’s “Why” (another famous break up song) as the newly married couple’s first dance together.”
yep and speaking of misplaced songs. At the Dodgers/Brewers game, they played a part of Centerfold by J. Geils and even included “years go by and I’m looking through a girly magazine, and there’s my homeroom angel on the pages in between”
Because it was a 1:10 PM game, there were almost MORE children there, then there were adults.
I couldn’t for the life of me, figure out WHY centerfold has ANY correlation to a baseball game and kids.
Its centerfold, NOT centerFIELD.
I was talking with my wife about skunks during the downtime. True story.
By the way, is that uke koa?
