This is the original recording of Obadiah Parker (Mat Weddle) performing his acoustic cover of Outkast's "Hey Ya" at Xtreme Bean Coffee in Tempe, AZ in 2006.
That year, a version of this video uploaded by a fan went viral. By the time the video was removed from YouTube, it had amassed over 5 million views. The popularity of the video attracted widespread media attention, led to international radio play, the top spot on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter charts, and inspired The Blanks' cover of 'Hey Ya' on the hit TV show Scrubs.
