1) Poland's popular music act of the 1990s. The band was founded in Szczecin, Poland in 1992 by guitarist Piotr Banach and charismatic lead singer Kasia Nosowska.

Although Hey sometimes described themselves as Poland's first grunge band, their melodic, guitar-driven rock and eclectic appearance owed more to New Wave and heavy metal influences; their first three albums contained songs in both Polish and English. During the band's mid-1990s heyday, they sold out stadiums throughout Poland, and attempted to break into the English-language market with a series of concerts overseas and an English version of their 1995 album. When this failed to arouse interest, the band began to write in Polish only, and gradually adopted a harder-edged, more industrial-influenced sound.

2) A Korean female singer who had a hit called "Je t'aime", recorded in both Korean and French. She has released three albums so far, her latest being recorded in 2008. Little is known about the Korean Hey, but she is still active and promoting the latest EP. See 해이.

3) Only German project of heyrec label (see [[http://heyrec.org]]) is represented at Last.fm with its tune of "Hey - Sans Toi".

4) Japanese video game developer, Shohei Yuki (ユキショウヘイ). He composed FM Synth music for his games. Capitalization of the name for this artist is 'HEY'.

Hey Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me home

You, you hit with me a break
And now you're back for more
Your song's the same
Leave me with all the blame
I don't have time for another game

I don't wanna dance
So don't you ask me, babe
I don't wanna dance
You blew your chance
To rock my night away
I want some fun
Boy you're so not the one
I don't wanna dance
So let it go
You'll never take me home
Take me home
Take me home

Talk to me without a sound
'Cause you were such a tool
Who's sorry now?
You, you're shaking on the floor
Watch me walking out the door

I don't wanna dance
So don't you ask me, babe
I don't wanna dance
You blew your chance
To rock my night away
I want some fun
Boy you're so not the one
I don't wanna dance
So let it go
You'll never take me home
Take me home
Take me home

Don't tell the DJ to hit rewind
Tonight, there's no you and me
Don't play that record
Don't waste your time

You, you threw it all away

I don't wanna dance
So don't you ask me, babe
I don't wanna dance
You blew your chance
To rock my night away
I want some fun
Boy you're so not the one
I don't wanna dance
So let it go
You'll never take me home
Take me home
Take me home

Take me home
Take me home

Overall Meaning

The song "I Don't Wanna Dance" by Hey Monday is about a girl who was hurt by a guy and is now refusing to dance with him. She sings about not having time for another game and how the guy should let it go because he will never take her home. She mentions how the guy hit her with a break and is now back for more, but she doesn't want any part of it. She wants some fun, but the guy is not the one.

The chorus reinforces her position on not wanting to dance with the guy. She sings about how the guy blew his chance to rock her night away and she has no interest in dancing with him. The bridge of the song is directed towards the guy and tells him not to ask the DJ to hit rewind or play any records because he threw it all away. The song culminates with the final repetition of the chorus.

Overall, the song is about a girl who knows what she wants and won't settle for anything less. She was hurt in the past and is not willing to give the guy another chance. The message of the song is to stand up for what you believe in and don't let anyone cause you harm.

"Hey I Don't Know" ~ Kongos

Tears are shed, a shame
I should have known
I should have thought
I could have thought
Before I cast that stone

The waves radiate far and wide
There's a ringing in my ears
For a minute
I think I'm going blind

Tears are shed, a shame
I should have known
The crown weighs heavy
Heavy as I sit back in my throne

I say hey, it wasn't me
I'm just a pawn
But the devil's not into details
Where have all the heroes gone?

Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?

The dream is broken
Now the mind must be woken

So what are you waiting for
Tell me what's the hesitation?
What are you waiting for
Tell me what is the delay?

Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?

The victor earns the title "The Great"
All the mysteries get unlearned
All the history just becomes a string of dates

The hordes overrun in a clean sweep
Destroying everything that was built
Where's the glory in making mothers weep?

Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?

The dream is broken
Now the mind must be woken

So what are you waiting for
Tell me what's the hesitation?
What are you waiting for
Your special invitation?
What are you waiting for
Tell me what is the delay?

Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?

These guys are incredible. I have a three song rule: I have to hear three songs I like before I buy the album. KONGOS passes. Accordion, five string bass, killer guitar and kick-ass percussion. Sick talent, guys!

When I began listening to the KONGOS' album, Lunatic, it was like finding gold treasure. Can't wait to see these guys perform live. Pretty sure we can all agree these guys are something uniquely special to hit the scenes in a big way.

I swear these guys are one of the best bands I've heard in a LONG LONG time, I can only hope record labels and their B.S. "producers" don't F*** with anything this band does AT ALL! as they have lightning in a bottle! their album "Lunatic" is amazing from start to finish and you don't have to skip a single song!

Terri J Lange

9y↑8

The very first time I heard "Come With Me Now" I went out and bought Kongos
Lunatic CD. There is at least 4 of the songs on that CD that should be playing on the air. I just love the way they have the cameras set up on all the band members during "Hey I Don't Know," it is so cool to watch! Money well spent on this album!!!!

I just discovered this band when in a car listening to the radio a couple of weeks ago. I stopped viewing and listening to media for over a year as a kind of fast thing, so I've been out of the loop when it comes to many things. This is one band that really has a sound I like, and I am thankful for the talent. I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of the songs on your channel. I haven't gone to a concert in a very long time, but I will keep my eyes open for when you come to my area. Thanks again and keep creating! :)

Rtrt67

Same here. I discovered them earlier this week while driving to Tulsa and listening to the EDGE out of Oklahoma City I think. It was the "Come With Me Now" song.

Anna Faulds

10y

Rtrt67 Yes, that's the one that plays on the radio stations here too. I came here to check out the other songs they play, and I just love them too. I'm really hoping I will be able to make it to the concert here in a few weeks. :D

Diana

10y

I love this song! The funny thing is that when I first heard "Come with me now" a month or 2 ago on the radio, I didn't really care for it. But they are airing the crap out of it and it got stuck in my head. Eventually it really grew on me and now I like it a lot. :-) So I came to check out their other stuff and was like: "Crap...they're actually really awesome!!!" The album is now on repeat for me. I wish we knew about them a few years ago when the album actually came out.

Diana

10y

"Hey I don't know" and "I wanna know" are my faves, but the entire album rocks!

David Taylor

I bought some shirts at a garage sale. They were destined for a play. Among all the shirts, there was one that caught my attention. There was a man with an apple and looking through a book. On the back of the shirt, said the name of this band. I looked it up on the internet and it's how I got here, great music. Casualities that give pleasure.

I wonder if people realize that since the beginning of music people pretty much say that about every current generation's music. I mean I'm 29 and I'll here some crap on the radio from Minaj or some shit rapper and catch myself about to say, "man, music sucks nowadays.... nothing like back in my day." Then I remember "Baby Got Back," "Me So Horny," and "Push It" and all the other songs from the 80s and early 90s about dumb ass shit. EVERY generation is full of shitty music. Like in the movie Live Free or Die Hard, just because music is old doesn't make it "classic." There are plenty of bands out there like Kongos, the music they play just isn't commercial enough. Sex sells, that's no secret. I mean why do you think Katy Perry has a career? Her big ol titties and the fact she's nice to look at is a major if not only reason. Ever hear her sing live at an awards show??? She clearly didn't "make it" because of her "talent." Minaj is only famous for her ass. So yeah, sex sells. Kongos seem to have found (delayed) fame with this album despite it coming out like 2 years ago. There next album might be big, but then after that I bet they fall back into obscurity or at least out of the limelight. Much like the Black Keys. BK was huge like 3 or so years ago. No one heard them beforehand despite having multiple albums out and no one is really raving and playing the shit out of their newest album. Cage the Elephant, Mumford and Sons, etc. all have their brief moment in the sun and then fall off. Imagine Dragons is likely the next one to fade away. Sure they might have a huge fan base still, but as far as them getting radio airplay or a ton of attention on MTV/VH1...... not so much. On youtube their videos might get 10+ million views but that's about it. Point.... there's plenty of awesome music out there. You just got to know where to look. It's definitely not the radio and MTV anymore as good sources for NEW great music. Online.... youtube, spotify, pandora, last.fm...... etc. are all great places to find bands. The radio and MTV only play top 40..... if that, more like top 20 hits, and thanks to the younger generation that is usually shit like Bieber, Perry, Gaga, and Rhianna. So if you're young and complain about music "nowadays" you have only your peers to blame. Tween obsessed girls are usually the dictators of what comprises the "mainstream" music.
