Subject: Only remember 4 words, can you help me with the song/artist?
Written By: Lara on 01/26/11 at 12:18 am
In the early 80's there was a song that had the words Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello in part of their song. In my head it sounds like an English accent(possibly) and the Hello's are high, then low, then high, then low. I can't remember if a male is singing the low part or if it's the same person singing all of them. It's not much to go on. Any help?

Let's get the easy ones off the list:
Any shot it's April Wine, Say Hello? (Repeated "Hello")
How about Gary Glitter, Hello, I'm Back Again? (British accent, repeated "Hello")

Thanks for trying to help, but unfortunately those aren't the songs. This is most likely one of the only few lame songs of the 80's. ;) The song was much slower and I want to say the chorus was where the hello's came in.

Female or male singer? Mostly guitars/pianos/keyboards?
Oh, now you've really got us interested. We're good at lame stuff! (The lamer the song, the more obscure it is. The more obscure it is, the less likely it is anyone else can solve it. That's where we come in. Off to trawl the Intertubes again... one of us will get this.)

...Oh, and even if it isn't - it's still a great song!

Sorry it's been so long. None of the songs listed above are correct. I believe it's a duet so it's both a man and a woman. It must have been really lame!! If I can think of anything else I will post, but it's been a few months and nothing else has popped into my head. Thanks for your efforts!

That it's a duet might help. Keep thinking, keep listening to random music, and keep this thread bookmarked. One of these months someone will figure it out.

Is it "Hello" by the band The Beloved?

Based on what's been said so far, I'm guessing it's probably not "Vienna Calling" by Falco.

I've been looking for this song forever. Finally found it. Try the band "Style" and the song is "Telephone"

Thanks! This makes it possible for me to fill in the blanks:
Style, Telefon, from 1984/1985:

If that's it, I'm not surprised the only lyrics the original poster was able to remember were "hallo" or "hello", because the rest of the lyrics were in Swedish! There was an English version of the song, and as of this writing, it can still be found in a 1986 soundcheck from CFNY's website.

There was an English version titled "Telephone", and you can find it on Youtube. The problem is it's not available to buy in mp3.

And until it is, you really should look at the last post of that thread on nwoutpost.com, do what it says, to find and download that archived MP3 consisting of a 45-minute sound check recorded 25 years ago, just to see if it's the song you're talking about about 17 minutes in. Whether you use a utility like Mp3DirectCut to save some diskspace is up to you :)

There is an online tool where you can save YouTube videos to an mp3 format to get the sound only. I've done that a few times to get some songs I never would have been able to otherwise
