Hey Eugene! is the third full-length album from the band Pink Martini. It was released on May 15, 2007 by Pink Martini's own record label, Heinz Records.
The album is named after the track "Hey Eugene", a fan favorite at the band's live concerts. As with most Pink Martini albums, Hey Eugene! features lyrics in several languages: French, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, and English. The song Bukra wba’do, meaning ‘tomorrow and the day after’ in Arabic, describes a lover's anticipation of a first date.
Hey Eugene! debuted at number 30 on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling about 19,000 copies in its first week. It was certified platinum in France by the UPFI in 2013.
With the David York Ensemble ("Syracuse"), The Jefferson High School Gospel Choir ("Tempo Perdido"), the MarchFourth Marching Band ("Dosvedanya Mio Bombino"), and the Harvey Rosencrantz Orchestra ("Everywhere", "Syracuse")
