  • Hey, Girl! I want you to know,
    I'm gonna miss you so much if you go.
    And, Hey, Girl! I tell you no lie,
    Something deep inside of me's going to die,
    if you say so long, if this is goodbye. Oh!

    Hey, Girl! This can't be true,
    How am I supposed to exist without you?
    And, Hey, Girl! Now don't put me on,
    What's gonna happen to me when you're gone.
    How will I live. How can I go on.
    How can I go on? Hey, Girl!

    Hey, Girl! Now sit yourself down,
    I'm not ashamed to get down on the ground,
    Don't go away. Hey, Girl!
    Don't go away. Hey, Girl! Writer/s: CHRISTOPHER ANDREW CARRABBA

  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn this day in 1963 {August 2nd} Freddie Scott performed "Hey, Girl" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV network weekday-afternoon program 'American Bandstand'...
    At the time the song was at #54 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; a little over four weeks later it would peak at #10 {for 1 week} and it spent 12 weeks on the Top 100...
    It would also reached #10 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart...
    He had six other Top 100 records; "I Got A Woman" {#48 in 1963}, "Where Does Love Go" {#82 in 1964}, "Are You Lonely For Me" {#39 in 1967}, "Cry To Me" {#70 in 1967}, "Am I Grooving You" {#71 in 1967}, and "He Ain't Give You None" "#100 in 1967}...
    Freddie Scott passed away at the age of 74 on June 4th, 2007...
    May he R.I.P.
    Personal note: On the above day, August 2nd, 1963, I was in my 3rd day of U.S. Navy boot camp, had three years and 362 days to go and was already counting down...
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn January 9th 1972, "Hey Girl" by the Donny Osmond peaked at #9 (for 2 weeks) on the Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; it had entered the chart on November 21st, 1971 and spent 10 weeks on the Top 100...
    It reached #21 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart...
    The record's flip-side was a cover of Billy Joe Royal's 1965 #14 hit "I Knew you When"; and it got a fair amount of AM radio air play...
    Mr. Osmond celebrated his 56th birthday one month ago today on December 9th (2013).
  • David from Pen Argyl, PaBilly Joel recorded a decent version that's pretty loyal to Freddie Scott's.
  • Sara from Silver Spring, MdMichael McDonald and Ray Charles sang it on the Genius Loves Company album in 2004. Charles had loved Michael's version from his Blink of an Eye album. They had previously sung it at a Yamaha celebration but it wasn't included on the video.
