The lyrics to Frantic's song "Hey Joe" tell the story of a man who is going to shoot his "old lady" because he caught her with another man. The lyrics describe the man's intentions to shoot her and his ultimate escape to Mexico where he can be free. The song has a very dark and ominous feel to it as the man carries out his violent actions. The lyrics are very straightforward and leave little to the imagination. The repetition of the phrase "Hey Joe" throughout the song gives it a feeling of urgency and immediacy.
The song "Hey Joe" has been covered by many artists over the years, including Jimi Hendrix and the Byrds, but the original was written by Billy Roberts in the early 1960s. The song was inspired by a newspaper article that Roberts read about a man who shot his wife after finding out that she was having an affair. The song has been interpreted in many different ways over the years, with some seeing it as an anti-violence message, while others view it as a straightforward tale of murder.
