Hello, hello, hello!
What a wonderful word, hello!
Hello, hello, hello!
You hear it wherever you go.

A stranger in a strange place can't be nearer
But when you hear the Hello Song it's dearer

Hello, hello, hello,
What a wonderful word, hello!

Beginning with a simple greeting on World Hello Day, their activities send a message to leaders, encouraging them to use communication rather than force to settle conflicts.

Wrong number.

I've said this before, but all greeting sound cooler when followed with an obscenity.

Brian McCormack, a Ph.D. graduate of Arizona State University, and Michael McCormack, a graduate of Harvard University, work together to promote this annual global event.

And God knows it takes people with credentials of this magnitude to convince me to say hello.
