Is "Hey Ya" the most depressing "happy" song ever?

[Drew Wonder]

Thank God for mom and dad for sticking through together cuz we don't know how

We've been together
Oh, we've been together
But separate's always better
When there's feelings involved
If what they say is "Nothing is forever"
Then what makes - then what makes
Love an exception?
So why oh why
Are we so in denial
When we know we're not happy here?

Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance

damn 3 stacks the shyt out of America

Yea, especially when you hear this cover:

You get a sense for the lyrics better. The OG is a classic though.

I never knew "Hey Ya" was a depressing song

Depressing because one of the best rappers abandoned rap.

Cee Lo
Lauryn
3000
Mos Def (is he rapping again? I am always a year or two behind current events)

why couldn't Kanye and Wayne abandon rap and switch to singing?

Truthfully I'm sick of hearing about how great Dre was, he was very good that's it, he never was even that much above Big Boi in terms of skill IMO

Dre gets touted as a great, but true geniuses like Krayzie Bone never get mentioned

i dont really see the song as depressing. if you had this fairy tale preconceived notion of what love and togetherness is, then maybe the lyrics are dream killers. but it sounds like dre is just your average guy in the song. love dont last forever...not tryin to meet your parents n all that bullshyt i just wanna fukk and keep it casual.

i don't think anyone who really cares about his music cares that he switched his name. he did it for personal, spirituality based reasons. like that's legally his real name now too...

I thought this nikka was trying to pull a Puff Daddy just to stay relevant. I hate when artist re-invent themselves just to get more attention.
