"Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey" is a song written by Little Richard (Richard Penniman) which he usually performed as part of a medley with the Leiber and Stoller song "Kansas City". It was covered by The Beatles in the same medley on the UK album Beatles for Sale and the US album Beatles VI.

It was later covered by The Libertines in a one off Radio 1 Live set in September 2003.
