OutKast – Hey Ya!
An evening pause: I am generally not a fan of hip hop, but this music video is filled with so much happiness I can’t resist it.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace, who adds, “Andre’ 3000 sings and plays all 8 parts in this video from 2003. There were so many takes from different angles, eventually exhausted, he had his last character sit down during the performance.”
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
I am not a fan of hip-hop either, but I will say the double-release album “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below” which included Hey-Ya is a highly entertaining “hip hop” ensemble.
The US Navy cover of the song is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEkYqL9n7vo
Lots of energy!
Only watched because of Roberts description, glad I did.
The U.S. NAVY VAW-116 version is now 10yrs. old and just as much fun to watch today.
And here’s some silliness from the USS Enterprise.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBYUWPg32r4
And from CVN-76 USS Ronald Reagan.
