One of the Pixies' most popular songs, “Hey” is referred to by Black Francis as the bands' “Only R&B song”.
Black Francis told Esquire,
"People love this song. It’s like our only R&B song with this three-chord turnaround. Basically it’s our slow-jam R&B song or our version of that I guess. I don’t think we were trying to do that. It just sort of came out naturally. I suppose it’s a relationship song. It’s not really my own history but distilled or culled from ancient stories of my parents from when they were younger. Things I heard or rumors, loosely based on that kinda stuff."
