Waiting For Prince Charming

She-Devils “Hey Boy”

It would be so easy for this song to be a fast garage rock thing, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it actually started out in that mode. The genre conventions are all right there, but She-Devils opt to play it mid-tempo and spacey so it comes out sounding very sensual and psychedelic. A faster tempo would imply a very different type of lust – manic, messy, urgent – but at this speed, it’s more seductive and confident in the projection of desire. “Hey Boy” sounds readymade for burlesque or go-go dancers – the tone is just right, and has just enough campiness to feel light, fun, and entertaining without getting in the way of its lusty sentiment.
