Talk:Hey You (Pink Floyd song)

message: 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)
replies: text: 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.

message: 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)
replies: text: There is a drill in the song. In Hey You (Pink Floyd song)#Composition, it says that after the bridge is a "reprise of the instrumental introduction augmented by prominent ARP Quadra riffs and a faintly audible sound of a drill." The key word is faint therefore meaning not prominent.--Kevjgav (talk) 07:07, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

message: I seriously question the paragraph in the "Plot" section that talks about the incident with the audience member inspiring The Wall and particularly this song. The album lyrics are very clear that Pink's life experiences, starting with early childhood, led to his building a psychological wall to keep people at an emotional distance. Nor does the audience incident seem compatible with the fact that "no matter how he tried he could not break free". The whole paragraph comes across as one person's particular interpretation. Unless someone comes up with a solid reference backing up this theory, I'm deleting it. --12.106.209.61 (talk) 15:59, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Rick Wright was fired by his unanimous bandmates, specifically because he refused to cut short his six-week vacation and come in to the studio to record keyboards. They were trying to finish the album ahead of deadline to get a $150,000 bonus. Keyboards were played by Bob Ezrin, David Gilmour, maybe Roger Waters as well, maybe others(?)
Given this, I see no reason to assume Rick Wright appears on this or any particular Wall track. So when the article refers to the Fender Rhodes keyboard being "played by Wright", I had to add a Citation Needed tag. Which I hate doing. I would rather simply remove the "played by Wright".
The only source cited in this section is songfacts.com, which I say is not a reliable source, at all, for anything. It's a piece of shit, thrown-together site that shows no interest in getting its "facts" right, and only cares about having "content". I have seen error after error every time I visit the site (which I only do when it's cited as a source here on Wikipedia). Anyway, the songfacts page for this song makes no claim that Rick Wright played the keyboards. I don't know what it was cited for.
I can cite sources for the musical info and the stuff about the tuning and all, but somebody needs to cite a source if they want Wright credited with the electric piano.

replies: text: @Ben Culture-I don't see why that statement would have to be cited. Rick Wright was the band's keyboardist. And in Hey You (Pink Floyd song)#Personnel it says Wright played Fender Rhodes electric piano, Hammond organ and synthesizer and this information is cited.--Kevjgav (talk) 13:02, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

text: @Kevjgav Of course, it was helpful. Thank you! --Ben Culture (talk) 10:15, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

message: In the film The Quid and the Whale, the actor Jesse Eisenberg plays this song at a school talent show and presents it as his own original composition. The only person who recognizes that it's a Pink Floyd song is his father (Jeff Daniels)'s student/lover Anna Paquin. 2601:642:C401:72D0:1C79:D450:8C94:3D6A (talk) 03:39, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
