Hey Boys
Blisterhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And everyone feels fine
P-A he's got german beer
And Michael home made wine
Hanging out listening to the radio
Everyone is wasted and it's only 8 o'clock
Hey boys are you ready to scream now
Yea yea alright
Yea yea all night
I just wanna go - go go
I just wanna go with the flow
Hey boys are yoy ready tonight
All the punks are ready to rock
It's friday afternoon
Everyone is happy
Coz the cops will be here soon
Then we'll start a riot
And we will go berserk
And don't come in our way
You fucking jerk
In "Hey Boys" by Blisterhead, the lyrics paint a picture of a rowdy night filled with friends, alcohol, and music. The first two lines set the tone for the rest of the song; everyone's in a great mood and ready to let loose. The third line gives a nod to the fact that the party is happening at someone's house, or at least somewhere other than a bar, when P-A's German beer and Michael's homemade wine are mentioned. The fourth line describes the group hanging out, potentially as they listen to the radio. The next line is a sign of the debauchery to come; it's only eight o'clock and the "Hey boys" are already wasted.
The chorus serves as a rally cry for the group to let loose and party on. The lyrics "Hey boys are you ready to scream now, yea yea alright" and "Hey boys are you ready to drink now, yea yea all night" are playful and catchy. The repetition of "Hey boys" throughout the chorus also adds to the energy of the song.
The second verse takes on a slightly more rebellious tone than the first. The line "All the punks are ready to rock" references a specific subculture, indicating that the party may have a specific audience or theme. The following line ("It's Friday afternoon") once again cements the timeline of the lyrics. The third line suggests that the punks are happy because they know the police will arrive shortly, potentially for a noise complaint or other disturbance. The fourth line of this verse is more aggressive, promising a riot and berserk behavior. The last line of the verse is a direct insult to anyone who tries to intervene in the group's fun.
Overall, "Hey Boys" is a high-energy party anthem about rocking out and having a good time. It doesn't take itself too seriously, instead opting for playful lyrics and repetition to create a fun, carefree atmosphere.
