"Evil Hearted You" is a 1965 single by the British Invasion band The Yardbirds. It charted at #3 in the UK. The single was not released in the USA, but was featured on the compilation albums Having a Rave Up and Shapes of Things.
The song is probably most known for its guitar solo featuring Spanish scales, which were highly unusual for 1965.
The song was later covered by the Pixies, who redid the lyrics entirely in Spanish. This version appears as a B-Side on "Planet of Sound" (1991) and can also be found on Pixies' Complete 'B' Sides album.

Famous quotes containing the words evil and/or hearted:
“If a man were to place himself in an attitude to bear manfully the greatest evil that can be inflicted on him, he would find suddenly that there was no such evil to bear; his brave back would go a-begging.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We teach boys to be such men as we are. We do not teach them to aspire to be all they can. We do not give them a training as if we believed in their noble nature. We scarce educate their bodies. We do not train the eye and the hand. We exercise their understandings to the apprehension and comparison of some facts, to a skill in numbers, in words; we aim to make accountants, attorneys, engineers; but not to make able, earnest, great- hearted men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
