My band is going to try and play a ska version of "Hey Ya" by Outkast. Good or bad idea?

The bassline is just a few notes from the major scale of each note played. Guitar is... ska. You know. The keyboard part is played by the horns, and the whole thing is sped up substancially. Do you think this is a retarded idea? (Me and my band members like the idea, but we've gotten very varied responces from others).

    Do the song, do it your way, ska is great, the song is great, so I say "hell yeahhh!"

    i like journey myself yet I thoroughly understand while somebody isn't a fan of their song. working example I easily have heard somebody say that the song Separate approaches (worlds aside) is cheesy. i can be certain the element even however i like that song. yet while somebody have been to assert like the song do no longer end Believing is cheesy i would not purchase that bullsh*t for a 2nd that's an miraculous song. I propose even non followers of journey that i understand like that one song. i do no longer purely like the band device in any respect. yet they do have particularly some musical information and talents. even however, i like the band Downset, a hardcore band with rap features that are actually not so musically gifted yet they have MASS potential and merely songs that groove.
