I'm wondering if Pink Floyd's title of this song really deserves this page. According to allmusic.com a search of "Hey You" returned 212 results, of which approximately 35+ are unique songs by other bands. Given Pink Floyd is likely the most popular band of these, but something just doesn't sit right with me about this. -- Malo 01:04, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

That's what we have disambiguation pages for. Articles on the other songs would be named, e.g. Hey You (BANDNAME song). We then create a disambiguation page at Hey You (disambiguation) and at the top of this one, put a small note indicating that, for other songs of the same name, the visitor ought to see the disambiguation page.

Popularity aside, Pink Floyd had "Hey You" out long before Shakira or The Exies or whomever. 128.226.230.51 18:47, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Film Sequence

Removed this from the main article:

Although a sequence of film was recorded for this song, it was removed from the final movie because it was too depressing. This film sequence was later lost in a fire.

The reason this footage was not used was not because it was "too depressing", rather, it didn't fit in with the rest of the film, and caused the thing to drag out too long. Interestingly enough, the sequence is available on the DVD version of the film, so perhaps it was not completely lost, either - granted, when Waters looked for it in later years, he couldn't find it, but it's obviously been located since.

[edit] Main Melody

I dont think that the solo is playing the main melody of Another Brick in the Wall but instead a unique piece that is later repeated on other parts of the album (The Trial, Waiting for the Worms)

Yes! I think that this should be mentioned, but we need a reference (I haven't found any about it). Anyway, the final section of the solo is quite diferent --200.118.131.102 22:03, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

That riff is first heard in Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2.

[edit] Drill

Someone asked about citation for James Guthrie use of a drill on this song. The reference is Fitch's PF Encyclopedia which is listet as reference in the article. Floyd(Norway) 21:39, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
