PINK FLOYD -- "HEY YOU"
 | Writer: Roger Waters
| Producers: Bob Ezrin, David Gilmour, and Roger Waters | Recorded: 1979 at Super Bear Studios, Miravel, France, and elsewhere Released: December 5, 1979
| Players: | David Gilmour--guitar, vocals Nick Mason--drums Richard Wright--keyboards Roger Waters--vocals, bass James Guthrie - drill Album: The Wall (Columbia, 1979)
| Also On: | The Wall Live In Berlin (Mercury, 1990; Waters solo) Shine On (Columbia, 1992) Pulse (Columbia, 1995) Is There Anybody Out There? The Wall: Live 1980-81 (Sony, 2000) "Hey You" is a track from Pink Floyd's blockbuster
1979 album The Wall, with an interesting history.
| Roger Waters and guitarist David Gilmour both sing on
"Hey You." The two musicians were increasingly at odds
with each other during the recording of the album.
| The song was moved around in the running order on the album.
Originally it was the end of "side three," after
"Comfortably Numb" -- but then it was moved to the
beginning of the side. The printed lyrics on the original record
sleeve have it at the end, though, confusing many fans.
| "Hey You" was the opening of the "second act" of
the band's live performance of The Wall, and featured the
band playing the song behind a huge wall of white bricks that had
been constructed onstage during the "first act." The
audience could not see the band at all during the song, just
spotlights which roamed over the concert hall.
| "Hey You" is not included in the 1982 film version of The
Wall. It was cut due to fears that the film was running too
long. A rough cut of what the song would have looked like is
included in some DVD releases of the film.
| The Wall went to Number One on the Billboard 200 chart
in the U.S. the week of January 19th, 1980, and held its top spot
for 15 weeks.
| When Roger Waters staged the all-star concert The Wall
Live In Berlin in 1990, singer Paul Carrack
(of Squeeze and Mike + the Mechanics) sang "Hey
You."
| The Wall has been certified 23-times-platinum, for sales of over 23
million copies. Interestingly, its last sales certification was in
1999 -- any sales since then are not included in the figure. | |
