It's a common song played at sporting events.

I was the one who wrote the lyrics to that song! :o

I was influenced by Bob Dylan, and his style of complex cryptic poetic imagery. :)

This was one of the songs our school band played, so I learned it on guitar.

The performer was convicted of CP possession in the 90s and was more recently caught having sex with underage prostitutes. Unsurprisingly, his devoted fans are probably in the single digits.

It's a shame he's such a vile barsteward because he did have some good songs.

I heard it at my high-skewl peprallies. It's OK music but I wish there was lyrics besides Hey

Have a certain foundness for the song.

When I worked as a party DJ, doing a New Years eve party I put the Hey Song on on impulse during the countdown of the last minutes of the year 2000, then played Guy Lombardo's Auld Lang Syne at the stroke of midnight like you're spose to, and then played Chuck Brown doing his Go-Go version of the 2001 theme ( which starts with him saying "..in two thousand one..")on the first moments of the year 2001. The sequence of records was perfect. The crowd loved it.
