"Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey" is a song written by Little Richard (Richard Penniman) which he usually performed as part of a medley with the Leiber and Stoller song "Kansas City". It was first released in 1958 as b-side to his recording of "Good Golly Miss Molly".

It was covered by The Beatles in the same medley on the UK album Beatles for Sale and the US album Beatles VI. It was later covered by The Libertines in a one off Radio 1 Live set in September 2003.

A femininist movement in the late 1980s took exception to the song for its cat-call like chorus.
