"Hungry" is a 1966 hit single composed by the songwriting team of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil,^[3] and performed by Paul Revere & the Raiders.

In contrast with the Raiders' previous top 10 hit, the guitar-driven "Kicks", the single "Hungry" has bassist Phil Volk playing the main riff.^[4] The creation of the bass line in "Hungry" was complex. It required that the bass part be recorded 3 times, then overdubbed. The components had to be synchronized: first, a normal bass line. That was followed by a line that was an octave higher and the last track was recorded as a fuzz bass, which was created by turning up an amplifier full blast, as using bass pedals wasn't available in those years.^[5] The result was what author and Rolling Stone critic Dave Marsh calls, "...the center of the performance...a lethal bass line".^[6] Lead singer Mark Lindsay plays tambourine on the record.^[7]

"Hungry" was recorded on the Columbia label, and the song reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.^[8]
