While dining out with the wifey last week, there was a song came over the pa. She wanted to know who it was by? I know I had heard the song, somewhere in the 80's or 90's. Heck when you're my age, all those decades blend together.

Anyway, the only clue I can give to the song is in the chorus the phrase "hey now, hey now" was sung. It was a male lead singer. Kind of a soft rock song. That's all the clues I have.

google search comes up with Cindy Lauper, but that is not the song.

Anyone want to show their memory skilz? Old guys clique are excused from participating.

Talking Heads - Hey Now Lyrics

I wanna bicycle
I wanna popsicle
I wanna space face
Buy me a cherry face now

Hey now!
Hey now!
Hey now now!
Hey now!
Hey now!
Hey now now!

I wanna video
I wanna rock and roll
Take me to the shopping mall
Buy me a rubber ball now

Hey now!
Hey now!
Hey now now!
Hey now!
Hey now!
Hey now now!

Every night sun goes down
And the people are staying at home
You can tell your momma & daddy
Leave those children alone

They know what they’re doin’
They ain’t runnin’ away
Uncle john said, "tell aunt mary
I got nothing to say"
(and she say:)

Hey now!
Hey now!
Hey now now!
Hey now!
Hey now!
Hey now now!

Ho---
Would the light come hitcha in the eye
Hey---
Gonna stop, gonna getcha by surprise!

Every night when the sun goes down
And the people are staying at home
You can tell your momma & daddy
Leave those children alone

They know what they’re doin’
They ain’t runnin’ away
Uncle john said, "tell aunt mary
I got nothing to say"
(and she said!)

Hey now
Hey now
Hey now now
Hey now
Hey now
Hey now now

Ho---
Would the light come hitcha in the eye
Hey---
Gonna stop, gonna getcha by surprise

I am the king of the world
The boss of the boys & girls
You can live till a 100 & 10
If you listen to what I said

Hey now
Hey now
Hey now now
Hey now
Hey now
Hey now now

Hey now
Hey now
Hey now now
Hey now
Hey now
Hey now now

Hey now
Hey now
Hey now now
Hey now
Hey now
Hey now now

Didn't Sixpence or some female lead group do a remake within the last couple or 3 years?

It was on an episode of Smallville, but otherwise, it's just a cover on a regular old Sixpence album.

Sixpence used to lead music occasionally at a bible study I went to in Houston. I've followed them ever since.
