Hey Ya!
« on: January 08, 2005, 10:24:24 AM »
Is it just me, or can anyone else see that the Outkast clip for the song "Hey Ya!" is a complete rip-off of the Beatles, and their Ed Sullivan appearance?

Oh yeah, it's a total rip-off.

I had the idea before them, by the way. It was in a dream and I was dressed in a green minidress and go-go boots and I was singing All My Loving.

Not totally. I'm also an Outkast fan and I've just found out it's a ripoff.

Well, yeah, there are a lot of things different, but the main thing that gave it away to me was the "Andre 'Ice Cold' 3000 (Yes girls, he's still single)" caption.

Didnt they do it purposely though? I dont see any harm in it. I actually watched that video once because of it.

I think you're right. There's a big difference between "rip off" and "parody".
