Hedley (band)
Hedley is a Canadian pop-rock group originating in Abbotsford, British Columbia that formed in 2003. They were named after the unincorporated community of Hedley, British Columbia, a name chosen after members heard that it was for sale for $346,000.
Hedley is known for its singles "Never Too Late", "Cha-Ching" (performed at the closing ceremony of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics), "Invincible", "Kiss You Inside Out", and "Wild Life", and for the band members' philanthropic work as ambassadors for the charity Free The Children.
History
2003–2005: Original line-up and Canadian Idol
Hedley originally consisted of Jacob Hoggard, Kevin Giesbrecht, Kevin Heeres, Ryan Federau, and Brandon McKay. The band wrote many songs such as Gunnin' and Brave New World (which were later recorded by the current Hedley). The original band bet Jacob Hoggard $150 that he wouldn't make it past auditions for Canadian Idol. Hoggard proved them wrong making it to the top three before being eliminated from the competition. However, shortly after the members decided to go their separate ways, but the band re-formed not long after, with Hoggard as the only original member.

Don't Talk to Strangers
by: HedleyShe was a bottle blonde
She had her sevens on
When I think about it now
Just a cougar on the prowl
She was hotter than hell
Had me under a spell
Got the ass doing yoga
Didn't care that she's older
Got off the stage
Ended up at her place
We were burning up the bed
Fire needed to be fed
Morning sun hit her face
Maggie May showed her age
I remembered what my mamma said
Don't talk to strangers
Don't talk to strangers
Don't do all the thinking with your little head
Like mamma said
Like mamma said
My mamma said
Don't talk to strangers
Don't talk to strangers
Just wrap it up so you don't wind up dead
Like mamma said
Like mamma said
My mamma said
She likes them nice and young
She likes them fresh and hungry
With fire in her eyes
Let you try her on for size
Show you a trick or two
Teach you something new
Full of Bacardi and Botox
Almost 40 and so hot
but the light of the day
Has something different to say
My head started to spin
When I saw her son walking in
I bet he felt like a fool,
Cause I knew him from school
I remembered what my mamma said
Don't talk to strangers
Don't talk to strangers
Don't do all the thinking with your little head
Like mamma said
Like mamma said
And my mamma said
Don't talk to strangers
Don't talk to strangers
Just wrap it up so you don't wind up dead
Like mamma said
Like mamma said
My mamma said
(4x)
Hey pretty lady it's crazy you're almost twice my age
I want to dance on your body like I shake it on stage
Don't talk to strangers
Don't talk to strangers
Don't do all the thinking with your little head
Like mamma said
Like mamma said
and my mamma said
Don't talk to strangers
Don't talk to strangers
Just wrap it up so you don't wind up dead
Like mamma said
Like mamma said
