'Why Aye Man' is a song by British singer-songwriter Mark Knoplfer. The words 'why aye man' mean 'hello' or 'yes' and are used by people from Newcastle (also known as Geordies) which is in the North East of England. The song is from his album 'The Ragpickers Dream' (2002).
The song was also used in the third series of the British comedy drama series 'Auf Wiedersehen, Pet' about a group of British builders who have to find work abroad because there are no jobs in Britain. If you really want to test out your English check out the series on YouTube. The Newcastle accent is one of the most difficult to understand.
