Subject: What's the matter you hey!

Written By: Sam on 12/6/2000 at 6:40 p.m.

I have been trying to find the name of this song that I used to listen to in the 80's. It has one line that I remember for sure, "What's the matter you, hey!" The singer is a man and I think there is some sort of clapping or snapping of fingers, but I am not sure.

Just for the record, the correct spelling/wording of the title is "Shaddap You Face", and yes, it was by Joe Dolce. It was a moderate hit here in the U.S. in the Summer of '81. It was off his 1981 album, also titled "Shaddap You Face". Thankfully, the album is long out-of-print and has never been re-issued on CD here in the U.S. One of the 10 worst (and annoying) songs of the '80s, IMO - but nevertheless, I do have the album on cassette...
