Hey! Jealous Lover

Kay Twomey and Bee Walker & Sammy Cahn • 1956

An unusual entry in Cahn’s catalog — one of the few songs where he shared writing credit with two other lyricists, Kay Twomey and Bee Walker. The result is a uptempo, finger-pointing number that gave Sinatra a Top 5 hit in 1956, one of his last major chart singles before rock and roll reshaped the pop landscape.

Punchy, direct, and a little combative — it’s Sinatra at his most streetwise.
