"Hey Baby" — No Doubt featuring Bounty Killer
Well supported
Written by Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Bounty Killer for No Doubt's Rock Steady (2001), reaching number five on the Billboard Hot 100 and winning the Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group at the 45th awards in 2003. Bounty Killer has said publicly that he had to take the band to court to be paid his royalties, which is why this record belongs in a collection about crossover rather than only in one about hits: the traffic was not always a fair exchange.
