Background

edit

"Hey Ho" was co-written by Wigmore and Dan Wilson in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Wigmore said the song was "something dark, some kind of Mexican, Day of the Dead mariachi ... some weird cool shit. So we [Wigmore and Wilson] were just like, 'hey ho'."[4]

Lyrically, Wigmore said "I, being a girl, can be tormenting the man...I just really like that. I guess that's the feminist in me."[4]

"Hey Ho" appeared at the end of the Weeds Season 6 finale, "Theoretical Love Is Not Dead".
