"Hey Boy Hey Girl is a single released by The Chemical Brothers from their 1999 album Surrender. The vocal sample "Hey Girl, Hey Boy. Superstar DJs, here we go!" was taken from "The Roof is on Fire" by Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three. "Hey Boy Hey Girl" peaked at #3 in the UK Singles Chart and remained in the chart for ten weeks.

In the video, a girl on a school trip to a museum gets chased by a boy, falls from the stairs and breaks her hand. Then suddenly she is ten years older and at a club where she has X-ray vision.
