"Everyone Says 'Hi' " is a song written by David Bowie for the album Heathen (2002 ). The song was a Top 20 hit in the UK singles chart[ 1] and it also reached #83 in the German Singles Chart .[ 2] It was produced by British duo Brian Rawling and Gary Miller, with vocals produced by David Bowie himself with Tony Visconti . 4 of the 6 'b' sides to this 3 CD set are re-recordings of some of Bowie's less familiar 1960s material that were intended for their own album release back in 2000, whilst "Safe" and "Wood Jackson" were new compositions, the former originally written but dropped from The Rugrats OST.[ 3]
