CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF MUSIC, ALBUM BY ALBUM
Album No. 3: Hey Eugene
Released on May 15, 2007
As we mark three incredible decades of Pink Martini, we’re taking time to revisit the albums that shaped our journey.
Released in 2007, Hey Eugene marked a milestone in the band’s evolution, as it was our most globetrotting collection to date at the time. This third studio album featured an array of thrilling collaborations both within and beyond the Pink Martini family and delivered several timeless fan favorites still cherished today. Arriving a decade after our debut album Sympathique, Hey Eugene was a bold and vibrant next chapter in our story.
"Dosvedanya Mio Bombino" is a great feature for this album in many ways. Penned by China and her sister, Maya, the song is a playful latin-meets-Russian beat supplied by the March Fourth Marching Band that tells the story of a man torn between
LYRICS:
Hey Eugene! Do you remember me?
I'm that chick you danced with two times
Through the Rufus album, Friday night, at that party
On Avenue A
Where your skinhead friend passed out
For several hours on the bathroom floor
And you told me, you weren't that drunk
And that I was your favorite Salsa dancer
You had ever come across in New York City
Eugene, Eugene, Eugene
I said, "Hello Eugene, are you there, Eugene?"
Hey Eugene, then we kissed
Once we lugged your friend into the elevator
And went to write my number on a soggy paper towel
And the car went down
And when we were finished making out
We noticed that your skinhead friend was gone
Long gone
And you looked into my bloodshot eyes
And said, "Is it too soon if I call you Sunday?"
Eugene, Eugene, Eugene
I said, "Hello Eugene, are you there, Eugene?"
I said, "Hello Eugene, Eugene, Eugene"
I said, "Hello Eugene, are you there, Eugene?"
I said, "Hello Eugene, Eugene, Eugene
I said, "Hello Eugene, does any of this ring a bell, Eugene?"
