Bebe le Strange (song)

"Bebe le Strange" is a song recorded by the rock band Heart. It was released in 1980 as the second single from the band's fifth studio album Bébé le Strange. It was the first song from the band not to chart on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and was the final single released from the album. Heart's fortunes reversed later in 1980 with the release of "Tell It Like It Is", which became a U.S. top-ten single.
