T-Pain Helps Mark Zuckerberg Turn Lil Jon’s ‘Get Low’ Into Acoustic Anniversary Gift

Mark Zuckerberg generally seems to be one of the more normal modern-day tech giants or at least one that comes off as less of a cartoonish villain (that’s how truly low the bar is). He isn’t trying to co-run any governmental departments and didn’t inadvertently cause a quarter of a million people to cancel their newspaper subscriptions. Instead, at least for the moment, the META founder has his focus set on performing grand romantic gestures for his wife — like the acoustic cover of Lil Jon’s “Get Low” that he recorded with T-Pain.

Zuckerberg cut the cover in honor of his wife, Priscilla Chan. “‘Get Low’ was playing when I first met Priscilla at a college party, so every year we listen to it on our dating anniversary,” he wrote on Instagram. “This year, I worked with @tpain on our own version of this lyrical masterpiece.” Nothing says “I love you” quite like “Three-six-nine, damn, you’re fine/Hoping you can sock it to me, baby, one more time.”

Zuckerberg’s singing voice on the Z-Pain version of “Get Low” sounds eerily similar to Owl City, almost like he would not believe his eyes if 10 million fireflies lit up the world as he fell asleep. T-Pain’s performance on the other hand, smooth and understated, isn’t as surprising. Last year, he released a covers album that took on classics from Frank Sinatra, Sam Smith, Sam Cooke, and more.

Chan celebrated the cover in the comments beneath Zuckerberg’s post, writing: “Can’t get quite as low anymore but more in love and grateful for that love than ever. Love you MZ.” In the album artwork, T-Pain is pictured posing beside Zuckerberg while holding up an acoustic guitar. If not for the backstory, his own “Get Low” equivalent — the Flo Rida-led hit “Low” about Apple Bottom jeans and boots with the fur — would have been a fitting romantic serenade, too. “Happy anniversary,” the musician commented. “Thanks for letting me be a part of this.”
