Interesting facts and trivia about Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black). By Songfacts®.

This is an alternate version of Young's song "My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)," which also appears on the Rust Never Sleeps album. The lyrics are slightly different, and "Hey Hey, My My" is electric, while "My My, Hey Hey," is acoustic.

Young recorded this with the band Crazy Horse. It was the first time Young recorded with them since Zuma in 1975.

In the biography of Neil Young, Shakey by Jimmy McDonough, Neil points out that this song came about when he was jamming with the band Devo. The phrase "rust never sleeps" was uttered by Mark Mothersbaugh, and Neil, loving the impromptu line, acquired it.
