Okay, this will be a challenge, and I'll be shocked if someone can think of this song on so little information.

It starts like this:

Hey, [line 1, it might be a question.]
Hey, [line 2, it might be a question.]

The only part I'm really sure about is the first Hey, and at least one of the hey's is sung in two notes. It's kind of an old song, but not too old--probably in the 90s, at the lastest the early 2000s. The verse part (I don't know about the chorus) has a slow and steady sort of rhythm.

And it's not that Paul McCartney song. Every time I try to start singing the song, Hey Jude gets stuck in my head. Argh.

Anyway, that's not much to go on, I know! I don't know the artist, and I can't think of any other songs that the same artist does. (If I could this would be easy, but I don't think there are any. I think I just liked the song, not the group.) Oh, and the title doesn't start with "hey," just the song.

This is driving me crazy, so I'm hoping for a miracle...

Edit: And it's a male singer.

"Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or
Looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle, it'll up the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be allright.
Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else." -- Jimmy Eat World

"Hey Jealousy" by the Gin Blossoms. I'm positive this is the right one.

Well..let me correct and say I'm positive that's the song I've been trying to think of since I read the first post. [Smile]

if that's it, It's "Hey Mister" by Custom

Hey Joe, Hendrix, more meets the description, but
Hey Ya, Outkast, more meets the timeframe.

I should warn you, before you go look up the rest of the lyrics to "Hey mister"... they're potentially very offensive.

Potentially offensive and hilarious.

Oh, now I have to go find that song. The mere mention of it gets it stuck in my head.

I confess to loving that song, despite having two daughters myself... then again, the thought of them having sex sometime in the future doesn't make me want to reach for a shotgun, either.

It fits almost everything but not having "hey" in the title (though for a time I thought it was called "I Hope I Never Have a Daughter") and having a two syllable "hey" in there.

But how old are your daughters, Jim-Me? Maybe you'll get shotgun-y when they're older?

Nope, it's none of those. Remember, the song title does NOT begin with hey, just the song itself.

I just know I really like this song, and it's driving me batty.

Ever have this happen to you?

What type of music do you like? Maybe that will help narrow it down...

I can't hum it! I can only remember Hey, and the "sense" of what comes next, nothing specific.

It's an alternative type of song. Um, some other similar (I think) songs that have come to me while trying to think of it are Spacehog's In the Meantime (but that could be a chronological thing), and Jude's "Superfreak" (might not be the exact title) and it might remind me of that song because of the Hey Jude, thing.

Edit: I get the sense that the guy is asking a girl a question. Not really a Do you Love me? type of question, but something else... I can't really express it because I can only grasp it for a second.

For What It's Worth- Buffalo Springfield?

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
