White Stripes, The - Hello Operator Lyrics






Hello operator
can you give me number nine?
can i see you later?
will you give me back my dime?
turn the oscillator
twist it with a dollar bill
mail man bring the paper
leave it on my window sill

find a canary
a bird to bring my message home
carry my obituary
my coffin doesn't have a phone
how you gonna get the money?
send papers to an empty home?
how you gonna get the money?
nobody to answer the phone

    O.... C....

    Me HAHAHHA

    O.... C....

    One Click lol

  18. P.... W....

    I dont like the drums at all. Id love to hear what Bonham would have done with this.

    P.... W....

    Peter Walsh bonham wouldn’t have suited this, the whole point is that it’s simple.

    P.... W....

    Peter Walsh the naivety in this comment actually hurts.

    P.... W....

    @Mad Banana ... I hate that metallic tapping it starts all right. I think its very incongruous after the strong vocal/guitar opening. Jus' sayin', like!

    P.... W....

    @Peter Walsh That's literally the point though. I don't know how familiar you are with the band, but the simplicity in Meg's drumming is exactly what Jack White wanted. He literally told her in the beginning to not get any better. It's like when Picasso said it took him four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child. That's exactly what Meg sounded like, a child who'd just picked up a pair of drumsticks for the first time. It's what gave them that unique sound. I suppose it isn't for everyone, but then again what is?

    P.... W....

    @Mad Banana Thanks very much. Im an old person and tho I like this music I think the finer points are sometimes lost on me!

  19. t.... m....

    Guys help!!!
    There's a song and I can't remember the name.

    Its by the stripes and theres a part where it repeats "I gotta little feeling going now"

    t.... m....

    t.... m....

    Noah Baker Thanks man. Sadly I recently bought the wrong album because I thought it was on blue orchid. Oops. Still a great album

  29. s.... ....

    such a brilliant track and i love white stripes for embracing meg's simple style

  30. J.... C....

    sorry man, already spent your dime

  31. v.... X....

    PREZAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  32. A.... S....

    Until it appeared in Silver Linings Playbook...

  33. J.... V....

    I don't think that comment deserves an answer

    J.... V....

    Juan Vicente Cabo Stroup Agree)

  34. J.... V....

    I see you're not very familiar with clarinets...

  35. J.... L....

    the simplest music is the best music: a guitar, a drum and one voice. Look at them and the Black Keys

    J.... L....

    Dude, don't compare White Stripes and Black Keys

    J.... L....

    And Black Pistol Fire 👍

  36. D.... C....

    is that a harmonica, or a clarinet?

  37. z.... s....

    I want to hug this song.

  38. J.... L....

    sweet simplicity

  39. s.... ....

    sadly he got paired with Alicia keys who is a great vocalist but just didn't work well with jack in terms of musical chemistry

  40. R.... G....

    That.. is... a... good... thing.

  41. C.... ....

    this & Fell in love with a girl on Silver Linings Playbook reminded mi of The White Stripes, man it's been a while...

  42. S.... P....

    Operator* you* give me* number* nine* Get educated.

  43. S.... P....

    he is an underrated artist,but an overrated guitarist. Altough i dig his simple playing style, but i also crave complexity sometimes. Great artist none the less. just picked up Blunderbuss, Phenomenal album!

  44. J.... Y....

    I wouldn't say he's the MOST underrated artist of all time... He can't be! He got asked to do a Bond theme!

  45. F.... ....

    i like the part ...Hello operator ....

  46. G.... S....
