Hello, is it me you’re looking for? No, not really. What I’m really looking for is a cover version of this Lionel Ritchie classic. Result!
Hello is an awesome song. Simple yet effective, charming and sweet. Lionel Ritchie is a genius for having written and recorded it. But the video? Oh, the video. It sucks!
It’s a combination of creepy and funny, with bad acting and stalkerish behavior that will have most people wearing a permanent grin throughout.
Thankfully this video provides an alternative to the original. The song is made up of actors from famous films voicing lines or words from each verse and the chorus. And we get to see all the clips spliced together.
A great song made multiple times better.
