About Hello Sunshine

"Hello Sunshine" is a song by the Welsh band Super Furry Animals from their album Phantom Power. It was the seventeenth single released by the group and reached number 31 on the UK Singles Chart in October 2003. Several versions of the track were released: the single version omits the short sample of the song "By the Sea" by Wendy and Bonnie which begins the album version, while two remixes, by Weevil and Freiband, appear on the album Phantom Phorce. An animated music video, featuring drawings by regular Super Furries sleeve designer Pete Fowler, was produced to accompany the release of "Hello Sunshine" as a single. The track received mostly positive reviews from critics. The band turned down "a seven-figure offer" from Coca-Cola to allow the use of "Hello Sunshine" in an advertising campaign citing alleged malpractice on the part of the drinks firm. The group have stated that despite the financial incentives of licensing their songs, they are happy to simply be able to make a living from music.

Hello Sunshine 
(So hard to say goodbye 
Meaning it today 
I've said goodbye before 
Leaving you alone 
By the sea 
So hard to say goodbye) 

Hello sunshine 
Come into my life (X2) 

In honesty it's been a while 
Since we had reason left to smile 
Hello sunshine 
Come into my life 

I'm a minger 
You're a minger too 
So come on minger 
I want to ming with you 

In honesty it's been a while 
Since we had reason left to smile 
Hello sunshine 
Come into my life 

You're not so innocent 
You're a disgrace to your country 
If you fled a million miles 
I'd chase you for a day 
(If I could be bothered) 

Hello sunshine (X5) 
Come into my life
