i don't know anything about how they license this stuff but i would swear that i hear "Hey Ya" in about ten different tv commercials a week. and i only watch a couple of hours a week (mostly sports stuff) makes me wonder how much money is involved.

OutKast is going to feed off that will a movie that captures the same rock-and-roll/R&B sound, set in the 1950s. They are also getting a boost from an unlikely source. Polaroid is telling people not to "shake it like a Polaroid picture" if it is a Polaroid picture. The company says the idea is dated. The result is free publicity for Outkast in newspapers all over the world and on the 'Net.

not only did i like it...i might even like it better than the first one. the record sales numbers are getting interesting. i saw an article last night (stereophile, i think) stating that sales last year were down only 1%. i'll dig up the particulars. (oh...and it's Saleski!)
