Hey There
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Hey There" is a popular song, written by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross. The song was published in 1954.
It was originally featured in the musical play The Pajama Game, and subsequently recorded by a number of artists. The recording by Rosemary Clooney reached #1 on Billboard's chart in 1954. Another version was also recorded about the same time by Sammy Davis, Jr. The song (counting all recorded versions) also reached #1 on the Cash Box chart in 1954.
In the context of the show, Sid sings it to a recording device, telling himself that he's foolish to continue his advances on Babe. He plays the tape back, and after responding to his own comments, sings a duet with himself.
