Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Primary sources "Hey! Little Girl" is a song written and performed by American musician Del Shannon.[1]
Background
It was recorded in October 1961 and was released later that year.[2][3] In the lyrics, the narrator professes his love to a girl that he only barely knows. The girl has recently been dumped by her boyfriend, but the narrator proposes to begin a relationship with her and thus make her feel better.[4] As such, the song is more optimistic than some of Shannon's other songs, such as "Runaway" and "Keep Searchin' (We'll Follow the Sun)". The background music involves both string and brass instruments.[4]
Chart performance
"Hey! Little Girl" reached No. 38 in the US Billboard Hot 100 chart,[5] but was a much bigger hit in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 2.[2]
