"Evil Hearted You" is a 1965 single by the British Invasion band The Yardbirds. It charted at #3 in the UK. The single was not released in the USA, but both songs were featured on the compilation album "Having a Rave Up".
The song is probably most known for its guitar solo featuring Spanish scales, which were highly unusual for 1965.
The song was later covered by The Pixies, who redid the lyrics entirley in Spanish. This version appears as a B-Side and can be found on The Pixies' "Complete 'B' Sides" album.
