The Start - Hey You

[@jiop538]

I'm so glad this song has resurfaced on KZbin ,I thought it was a lost gem.I saw the Start on tv here in Montreal on a show that was similar to American Bandstand but it was in French and they played Hey You .I bought the single that same week.But after 1981 they vanished from the media.

I remember this as one of the theme songs from "The All Night Show" with Chuck the Security Guard in Toronto back in 1980. I loved this song and it still rocks.

Probably the cover version by the Dutch band also called Hey You.

[@richardwha]

Who remembers Chaz Lawther (Chuck The Security Guard) giving this airplay after he trademarked his famous All Night tagline, "Hey You"

[@jeffwiseman3840]

Me! I can see him dancing now, with his cameraman Ryerson shuffling the camera in sync

[@jeffwiseman3840]

I remember when that show was canceled, the sadness all around, and apparently they were incredibly close in the bargaining, and just couldn’t find the common ground.

[@Limarc66]

I love this one very much - not successful in Germany but a great recollection ...

[@damonbanks259]

I was very happy to find this song!. I do have a slightly later 1981 version of it which I grew up with, and like better. It was performed by a South African band simply called "Hey You". Not sure why the couldn't be more priginal with their band name, but the more rock-oriented version of the song still appeals more to me to this day. Now I know the original, too. ;-)

[@HelpforDominique]

I know right?! The version you're talking about was Song 1 Side A on Pop Shop vol 13. Had it as a kid, and spent 14 years looking for it. Finally found a copy in a pawn shop. The easiest R1 I EVER spent!

[@louisetokar3493]

[@wilmavanderwalt9058]

I also had Pop shop 13 and loved that version by "Hey you", had a faster beat and I really liked it. If this original was so hard to find - imagine getting that version. I stll have the original tape but you can imagine a tape from 1980 (having been played A LOT) is not in great condition!!
