===7"===

* 2. "Jolene" (Dolly Parton)

==Band Quotes==
* [[Jack White]] : ''"That's the kind of thing I care about, like [Hello Operator] from our second album--that's a phone company finger-pointing song. I hate the rip-off company. I know everyone has to have a job, everyone has to work and get a paycheck to keep everything going, but it's pathetic that the better mouse trap doesn't win out."''

==Facts==
* John Peel listed Hello Operator as his single of the week, even though the single wasn't released in the UK.
* The Kleptones sampled this on their album ''24 Hours''.

<nowiki>
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 the 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
</nowiki>
