Hey You (Bachman–Turner Overdrive song)

"Hey You" is a song written by Randy Bachman, and was first recorded by Canadian rock group Bachman–Turner Overdrive (BTO) for their 1975 album Four Wheel Drive.

It was the first and more successful of two singles issued from the LP, the second being "Quick Change Artist", which was released in Canada only.

Randy confirmed the rumors in interviews years later, stating: "I deserved to gloat a bit after all the mud Burton had slung at me.

"[1] Cash Box said it has elements of earlier Bachman-Turner Overdrive singles "Let It Ride" and "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" and contains "the stuttering vocals of Randy Bachman, and some more heavy guitar chording.

"[2] "Hey You" was the second BTO single to hit number 1 on the Canadian RPM chart, following "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet".
