  • Hey, heybaby
    I want to know if you'll be my girl
    Hey, hey baby
    I want to know if you'll be my girl

    When I saw you walking down the street
    I said that's a kind of girl I'd like to meet
    She's so pretty, Lord, she's fine
    I'm gonna make her mine, all mine

    Hey, hey baby
    I want to know if you'll be my girl

    When you turned and walked away
    That's when I want to say
    "C'mon baby, give me a whirl
    I want to know if you'll be my girl"

    Hey, hey baby
    I want to know if you'll be my girl

    When you turned and walked away
    That's when I want to say
    "C'mon baby, give me a whirl
    I want to know if you'll be my girl"

    Hey, hey baby
    I want to know if you'll be my girl
    Hey, hey hey hey hey, baby c'mon, baby now Writer/s: Bruce Channel, Margaret Cobb

  • Rabbi Meyer from Central Wisconsin"Hey! Baby" has long been a staple of the Wisconsin marching band's Fifth Quarter set list, usually finding its way into the middle section. When you say Wis-con-sin, you've said it all!
  • Michael Little from Rockingham, NcDoes anyone know who plays the piano part in this song?
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn June 21st 1962, Bruce Channel appeared in concert at the Tower Ballroom in New Brighton, England...
    Just a little over eight weeks earlier on April 22nd, 1962 his "Hey! Baby" had peaked at #2 {for 1 week} on the United Kingdom's Singles chart; the week it was at #2, the #1 record for that week was "Wonderful Land" by the Shadows...
    The opening act at the Tower Ballroom concert were the Beatles; and legend has it, that it was at this time that Channel's harmonicist, Delbert McClinton, gave John Lennon a few tips on how to play a harmonica...
    * In the U.S.A. "Hey! Baby" had peaked at #1 {for 3 weeks} on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart on March 4th, 1962.
  • Rich from Portsmouth, NhAs a Baby Boomer, I _loved_ whenever this would come on the top 40 ! Such emotion in those first 2 words!
  • Wes from Fort Worth, Tx, TxThis song was recorded in Fort Worth at a small recording studio off West 7th street, just south of the trinity river bridge. Both of my parents were in the room. My dad, Donny Stevens, was the guitar player on this track. He was a member of The Straitjackets, of which Delbert McClinton was the singer and harmonica player. At the time they recorded it, they had no idea what a huge hit this was going to be and I'm not sure if anyone who originally recorded it was compensated when it was released on Smash records.
  • Richard from Andersonville, TnWhat happened to the rectangle near the top of each page that allowed the song to load and play?
  • Paige from Derry, NhThis was feautured in the 1987 film Dirty Dancing. The movie starred Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey.
