"Hey Wanhaka" is a song by Australian rock group King Stingray, released on 14 October 2020 as their debut and lead single from their self-titled debut studio album (2022).

The Kayla Flett and Roy Kellaway directed music video was released on 7 December 2020. In a statement, Kellaway said "This clip tells a story of the Stingray man travelling around the Territory. The Stingray man meets up with the Lorrpu (white cockatoo) and they party and celebrate together. The cockatoo is then putting the word out to everything 'Hey Wanhaka? Whats everyone up to?'"[3]
