"Hey Little Boy" is a rock song by Australian band Divinyls, released as the second single from their 1988 album Temperamental. It is a cover version of the 1966 song "Little Girl" by American rock 'n' roll band Syndicate of Sound. However, when Divinyls recorded their version of the song, they had the gender roles reversed. It peaked at number twenty-three on the Australian singles chart and spent twelve weeks in the top fifty.[2]
