Common card · No. 403880

"Hey Boy Hey Girl" is a song by the British big beat duo the Chemical Brothers. The song contains a sample from "The Roof Is on Fire" by Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three, but the actual sample is taken from Armand van Helden's 1992 track "I Can't Wait (House Head & B-Boy Collaboration Mix)", as the riff at 11 seconds into "I Can't Wait" is also sampled in "Hey Boy Hey Girl" at the beginning. "Hey Boy Hey Girl" was released as the first single from the Chemical Brothers' third studio album, Surrender (1999), on 26 May 1999 in Japan and on 31 May in the United Kingdom.
