Hey Little Girl (song)

"Hey Little Girl" is a single released by the Australian band Icehouse, the second single from the band's 1982 album, Primitive Man. It was released in October, 1982, on Regular Records in 7" vinyl single and 12" vinyl single formats. UK and Europe releases by Chrysalis Records were also on 7" and 12" formats, but with different track listings. The single was then released in the US in 1983 on the same formats. On "Hey Little Girl", Iva Davies uses the Linn drum machine - the first for an Australian recording. It peaked at #7 on the Australian singles chart and #2 in Switzerland, #5 in Germany, Top 20 in UK, Sweden and Netherlands, and #31 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.

The U.S. cover for the single has a still from the Russell Mulcahy music video for "Hey Little Girl".

In 1997, a series of re-mixes of the song was released in Germany on the Edel Music label. Another remix version by Infusion was released on the Icehouse album Meltdown in 2002.

The song has been covered by Sven Schumacher, the German metal band Atrocity, the horrorpunk band The Spook, and Kate Miller-Heidke.

The group Syndicate of Sound wrote "Little Girl" which the band recorded for Hush Records in San Francisco, January 9, 1966. "Little Girl" became a regional hit after San Jose radio station KLIV latched onto it, and was released nationally and offered the group a contract for an album.
