"Everyone Says 'Hi'" is a song written by David Bowie for the album Heathen (2002), the only single from the album that was available to purchase in the United Kingdom. The 'b' sides to this 3 CD set are very highly regarded amongst fans as they contain excellent re-recordings of some of Bowie's less familiar 1960s material that were intended for their own album release back in 2000.
