Sinclar started DJing in 1986, when he was just 18 years old, specializing in funk and hip-hop music, with the name Chris The French Kiss. His first club hit was Gym & Tonic, a track produced by Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk, featuring unauthorized vocals taken from a Jane Fonda fitness tape. The Bob Sinclar persona was based on a character from Philippe de Broca's film Le Magnifique.

Sinclar is famous for popularizing the "french touch" of house music, with heavy use of sampled and filtered disco strings. His track "Feel For You", a tribute to french musician Cerrone, from his second album Champs Elysées, hit #9 in the UK Top 40. On track "Darlin'", he worked with vocalist James "D-Train" Williams.

Sinclar has also worked under other pseudonyms. Under the aliases The Mighty Bop and Reminiscence Quartet, he has dabbled in hip-hop and acid jazz. He also created the Africanism project, where an ensemble of artists produce house music with a combination of latin, jazz, african and tribal flavors. In 2005 he scored a hit with his single "Love Generation", that reached #1 on the Australian ARIA Singles Charts and the German Media Control Single Charts in 2006. The song was a huge success throughout Europe, also peaking at no. 2 in the Dutch Top 40. The followup hit was "World, Hold On", that features Steve Edwards and also managed to chart in the top ten in most of the European countries. "Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now)" followed on August 22, 2006.

The remix of "World, Hold on" by E-Smoove is nominated for a Grammy 2007 in the category "Remixed Recording". Also, "World Hold on" was chosen by Billboard Magazine as the number one Hot Dance Club Play Single of 2006, beating Madonna and Christina Aguilera.

The fourth single of the album 'Western Dream' called 'Tennessee' was supposed to be released in April 2007, but has been cancelled due to the rumour of a new album being released.

That album was Soundz of Freedom. It came out in May 2007.

His latest album is Born In 69, released 2 years after the last album, May 2009. The first single of the album was LaLa Song, together with Sugarhill Gang

Hey
Bob Sinclar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just an ordinary day
Till you came around
I had my feet on the ground
So much for that

Just an ordinary day
Till you came around
And now my life's upside down

Imagine that

And it's all because I heard you say
And it's all because I heard you say
And it's all because I walked your way

I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say

And I heard you say
Hey hey
Hey hey

Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey

Oh just right
You got to sit tight
Close your eyes
And let your head go down
Let your feet up off the ground
And let your head go down
Let your feet up off the ground

Just an ordinary day
Till you came around
I had my head straight and sound
They've told me that

Just an ordinary day
Till you came around
And now my life is on the bounce
Just like that

And it's all because I walked your way
And it's all because I heard you say
And I should've known to stay away

But I heard you say

I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say

And I heard you say
Hey hey

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bob Sinclar's "Hey" talks about a day that was once ordinary and mundane but became lively and fun-filled because of one person. The first two stanzas of the song describe how the singer's life was just ordinary until that person came around, turned their life upside down, and made them imagine what could possibly happen next. The line "So much for that" emphasizes how the singer's life has been significantly impacted by the person who came into their life. As the chorus hits in, the line "And it's all because I heard you say" emphasizes how one simple statement/sentence that the person uttered changed the singer's life forever, leading them to do things they wouldn't have done before.

The next stanza begins with the line "Oh just right." This line probably represents the singer's thoughts or an inner voice, telling them to sit tight, close their eyes, and let their head go down. It is a feeling of surrender to the excitement that this new person has brought into their life. The last stanza highlights how much the singer's life has changed, and how they regret not staying away despite knowing that things could go wrong. The repeated "Hey, hey" in the chorus represents how the person who came into their life brought light and vibrance into their lives and they can't get enough of it.

This song makes me so sad, I had such good memories when this song was released, now it's sad when I think about them. Right now I'm tearing up. Sorry I'm so depressed. I hope everyone is enjoying themselves and is loving living life.
