The original lyric goes "Hey Joe, where you goin' with that money in your hand?" It is sung by Hendrix as "Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?" The song has been covered with both the original and Hendrix lyrics, and other variants as well. The website www.heyjoe.org lists over 1250 recordings of the song, but this list is likely far from complete. Of the 28 recordings of "Hey Joe" I own, five are by artists not listed at the site. In any event, this is my second quiz in what may become a series of "Song Remains the Same" quizzes if this one is even modestly successful. This quiz is about "Hey Joe" -- its origins, its covers, and its performance. As with my previous quiz, "Summertime: The Song Remains the Same", a wide variety of musical styles are covered in this quiz, and I own recordings of the song versions that are correct answers. Sources: Primarily my own collection of recordings and the liner notes accompanying the same. Wikipedia, the on-line encyclopedia, and www.heyjoe.org were also consulted.
