Shake It Like a Polaroid Picture

Kodak, mapped by Outkast

After looking the past three months' of Eastman Kodak's stock, Gothamist can draw no conclusive evidence for our argument that the brilliant Outkast/Andre 3000 song, "Hey Ya," is responsible for any stock upswing. However, in Gothamist's book, the lyrics make us want to get a Polaroid all over again...take that, HP!

Watch the video for "Hey Ya" at NME. And MTV on how the video was conceived by Dre and director Bryan Barber.

Inspired by the Britneywatch. What's cooler than cool?

What does this song have to do with Kodak? If you want the Polaroid stock performance, it's over at:

Fundamentally, they're in deep doo-doo.

and in a related story, OUTKAST is being sued by the estate of Rosa Parks for appropriation of her name for their song "Rosa Parks".

Thanks for posting the link to the lyrics; I probably wouldn't have sought them out on my own. Having been able to catch only the main parts of the song, I've always thought it was just a dumb party song, but now I see that it goes a lot deeper. It now reminds me a tiny bit of the pathos of Fishbone's "Ma and Pa."

I'll be damned, those lyrics actually 'are' saying something. wow. good show.

For the record shaking a Polaroid does not promote faster development or help in any way. It actually bends and distorts the image. The caustic chemicals trapped inside the most common of Polaroids is only accelerated by HEAT. So fer chrissake quit waving it about and shove it under your arm. However, the larger Spectra sized photos may require use of another warm location.

hey love Outkast...and i love ur new song 'Hey Yah' you guys are great....!!!!!! and i love your cloths in the song haha very green buh bye

What up, badasses! I be kickin' it in fat Caddy whoopin' to da Outkast! I am one bad mambajamba.
