Tucked into Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, the sprawling double album the Cure put out on Fiction in 1987, "Hey You!!!" carries a writing credit split five ways between Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Porl Thompson, Lol Tolhurst and Boris Williams, with Smith supplying the words. He produced it with David M. Allen, and like the rest of the band's seventh studio album it was cut at Studio Miraval in Correns, France. Smith pitched the whole record as two things at once: a summing-up of everything the Cure had done over the previous decade, and a run at music they had never really tried before.
