"Eh Hee" was written as an evocation of the music and culture of the
Khoisan people of southern Africa. In a story told to the Radio City audience (an edited version of which appears on the DVD version of "Live at Radio City"), Matthews recalls hearing the music of the Khoisan and, upon asking his guide what the words to their songs were, being told that "there are no words to these songs, because these songs, we've been singing since before people had words". He goes on to describe the song as his "homage to meeting... the most advanced people on the planet".Live performance history
The song debuted in February 2006 on the
Dave Matthews & Friends Caribbean cruise with the title "Ayhee". It was performed as part of a mini-performance on each individual ship after storm conditions cut the main show short. Other than a solo performance by Matthews in Manchester a few months later, it was not seen again in full until the Radio City performance. The song went on to become a regular part ofDave Matthews Band 's summer tour in 2007, being played by the full band.
