This is very sad. My hopes are dashed.

Hey Joe was a Byrds song.

/Everybody knows that.

If you play a different song... is it a different record?

How many pollacks does it take to play one song?
/One ticket please.

Hey Joe was also a Cher song, everyone knows that.

Yeah, and All Along the Watchtower was a Bob Dylan song, until Hendrix improved upon it. Jimi's versions of both songs are better.

From wiki:

While claimed by some, including Tim Rose, to be a traditional song, or often erroneously attributed to the pen of American musician Dino Valente (who also went by the names Chester or Chet Powers, and Jesse Farrow), "Hey Joe" was registered for copyright in the US in 1962 by Billy Roberts. Roberts is the apparent author, and the song may have been written by him earlier. One source (singer Pat Craig), claims that Roberts assigned the rights to the song to his friend Valente while Valente was in jail, in order to give him some income upon release.

Unfortunately, their attempt at the record failed when someone waved at them during the song.

And that's the win.
