"Ieya '82" was the eleventh UK single by the band Toyah, fronted by Toyah Willcox, and was released in the summer of 1982.
The single was a rerecording of the track IEYA from the 1980 album The Blue Meaning, but given a distinctly poppier reworking. It was again backed with "The Helium Song" - the extended version of "Spaced Walking" which was included on the original version of IEYA two years previously.
The single edit of this song was included on the 1999 reissue of The Changeling (album), while the full length version remained unreleased until its inclusion on the 2005 compilation The Safari Singles Collection Part 2: 1981-1983.
