“Hey Dude” by Kula Shaker
From the album K (1996)
“Hey Dude” by Kula Shaker appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 1996. It was first released in 1996 on the album K. Its best result is #60 on the Triple J Hottest 100 of 1996. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #233 alternative song of 1996.
"Hey Dude" came off K, Kula Shaker's 1996 debut, and hit the shops on 26 August that year as the album's third single, the band's fourth in all. Frontman Crispian Mills wrote the words and shares the music credit with Alonza Bevan, Jay Darlington and Paul Winter-Hart. John Leckie produced it and Stephen Harris mixed it, and it's Britpop from a band with a psychedelic streak, loud and cocksure enough for the singles chart.
The chart agreed. It went to number two in Britain in September 1996, tying "Hush" as the band's biggest UK hit, and it travelled, too, showing up in Australia, Ireland and the Netherlands and on the rock charts in Canada and the US.
