An accordeon cover of Scatman John's Hey You/U-Turn by Weird Al Yankovic feature in a November 1997 broadcast of Radio Aahs World which was the second time they interviewed Scatman John.
Hey You and U-Turn are melodically and lyrically the same song, although Weird Al's cover has more elements from U-Turn and it is said in the broadcast that it was U-Turn. What also got mentioned is that the song was in top 20 in some US charts. I couldn't find any information to confirm it.
