The chant used by
Anette Olzon, lead singer of Finnish symphonic band Nightwish, to get the audience into songs. It originally started out as simply "HEY!" but it soon morphed into her iconic HEP
HEPs!
Formed from
the HEP HEPs, there is a HEP HEP Army, which is joined by simply chanting "HEP! HEP! HEP! HEP!" during an appropriate time in a Nightwish song.
"Ok, HEP! HEP! HEP! HEP!"
"And one more time, come on and HEP! HEP!"
"I went to a Nightwish concert last night: I joined
the HEP HEP Army!"
"I love
Anette's HEP
HEPs: they really get the audience going!"
