54F10) Hey, hey, hey. What ya . . . This one’s been bugging me for a while. The first thing that comes to mind is the Paul McCartney-Michael Jackson duet, “Say Say Say” (as in “Say, say, say what you want, but don’t play games with my affection…”), but there aren’t any “hey hey heys” in that song. > [@Biggirl](#): > > This one was in the OP. Sky High by Blue Image… It is Blue Image, isn’t it? “Sky High” is correct, but Jigsaw is the band. Aw, you got it anyway; you just had a birthday and you started the thread, so I’d say you get cut a little slack. 🙂 ---
