You know, that Andre 3000, that fella sings them songs. I seen him on the TV. He’s a strange one, that’s for sure. But folks talkin’ ’bout him, ‘specially ’bout them clothes he wears. Them overalls. Yeah, that’s what they’re callin’ ’em. I gotta say, them overalls make him looks strange.
Now, back in my day, we wore overalls for workin’, not for prancin’ around on stage. They was for gettin’ dirty, for plantin’ and tendin’ to the animals. Kept your regular clothes clean, ya see. This Andre 3000 overalls thing, it’s a whole different ball game. He’s wearin’ ’em all fancy, like they’s some kinda fashion thing. Young folks these days, I tell ya.
Heard some folks sayin’ he ain’t been singin’ much lately. Just wearin’ them overalls. They say he don’t think he got nothin’ to sing about. Maybe he should try singin’ ’bout them overalls! Might be somethin’ there. He’s from that Outkast group, remember? They was on the radio all the time before.
I seen pictures of him, way back when. They call it Stankonia, that time. He looked different then, but still kinda strange. Now he’s all about them overalls. He’s like a farmer but not really. And he used to call himself somethin’ else, but now he’s just Andre 3000. I don’t know what all that means. It’s a mystery.
Them overalls, they cover you up, from your chest down to your ankles. We used to call ’em dungarees sometimes. Tough fabric, good for workin’. But Andre 3000, he ain’t workin’ in ’em, far as I can tell. He’s just… bein’ Andre 3000. And I guess that’s okay. It’s strange, but it’s okay.
Young folks, they copy him, I hear. Other singers, wearin’ them overalls, tryin’ to be all different and such. There’s this one called Tyler, and some others. EarthGang, I think. They’re strange, too, but not as strange as Andre 3000. Maybe it’s a good thing. Keep things interestin’, I suppose.
- Andre 3000 likes them overalls.
- He used to sing in Outkast.
- Overalls used to be for work.
- Now they’s for fashion, I guess.
- He ain’t singin’ much these days.
That Stankonia time, that was somethin’ else. He was all over the place with that “Ms. Jackson” song. Everybody was singin’ it. Even I kinda liked it, though I didn’t understand half of it. Now it’s just Andre 3000 overalls. It’s like he’s a different person. But maybe he’s just tryin’ to find himself. It’s hard being a famous singer, I guess.
I remember seein’ folks wearin’ them overalls when I was a little girl. Farmers, mostly. And the men workin’ on the railroad. Tough workin’ folks. They needed them overalls. Now, it’s all changed. It’s like the world’s turned upside down. Andre 3000, he’s part of that, I reckon. Changin’ things up.
He’s a good singer, that Andre. Even if he is strange. I hope he finds somethin’ to sing about again soon. Maybe he’ll sing about them overalls. Or maybe he’ll just keep wearin’ ’em. Who knows? It’s all a big mystery to me. But those young folks, they seem to like it.
I heard he gets beats all the time. What’s that mean? Like beet, the vegetable? He writes, too. I used to write letters to my sister. But I think he writes songs. But he ain’t singin’ them. Maybe he’s just writin’ ’bout them overalls. He sure does like them. I don’t know why he stopped singing, he was real good at it.
I seen them young’uns wearin’ overalls. Reminds me of when I was young. ‘Cept theirs are all colorful and ripped up. Ours was just plain blue. And we only wore them when we was workin’ in the field. These young folks wear ’em everywhere. Times are changin’. I guess Andre 3000 started it with them overalls. He was always a little different, even back in them Outkast days.
Now, this whole Andre 3000 overalls thing, it’s got folks talkin’. They’re sayin’ he’s influencin’ other singers. Makin’ them want to wear overalls, too. It’s like a fashion statement, they say. I don’t know about all that. I just know overalls are for workin’. But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe they’re for somethin’ else now. Maybe they’re for bein’ different. Like Andre 3000. He sure is different. But that ain’t a bad thing, is it?
That’s all I know ’bout them Andre 3000 overalls. It’s a strange world, ain’t it? But it’s interestin’, I guess. Keeps you on your toes. You never know what them young folks are gonna do next. Maybe they’ll all start wearin’ overalls. Wouldn’t that be somethin’? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. I reckon, the world keeps turnin’, overalls and all.
