"Hey Hey Hey" by Uncle Kracker

Matthew Shafer is a singer and songwriter from Michigan who goes by the name of Uncle Kracker. He got his start working the turntables as the DJ for follow Michigan superstar Kid Star. Uncle Kracker began a solo career at the dawn of the new millennium, with a little help from Kid Rock along the way.

Uncle Kracker became a sensation right out of the box with his smooth grooves, and expanded his audience as he migrated more into country rock. "Follow Me" was his first (and biggest) chart hit, reaching #5 in 2001. 

In 2003, Uncle Kracker returned to the Top 10 once more with his version of Dobie Gray's "Drift Away," which sailed to #9. Gray's original version went to #5 in 1973, and he was a guest vocalist on Uncle Kracker's version. Uncle Kracker scored a couple more minor until his last chart appearance in 2010 when "Smile" reached #31.

"Hey Hey Hey" is a fun, country rocker found on the feel-good record of 2009, "Happy Hour."
