Hello Sydney !

I recall two places where I have heard this phrase.

First of all, I heard it while watching the video of a concert by The corrs, who were performing in Sydney. I don't remember the date/year of the concert, but I do recall the instance when after playing their first song, Andrea Corr, the lead singer, called out aloud Hello Sydney !! (followed by you all look so great and stuff .. ), . The crowd's reaction was of course, a huge cheer.

Second instance when I heard it was in the movie One fine day (nice movie, actually). In the second half, Elaine Lieberman comes out with the same phrase during a press conference scene, whereas Australia was absolutely nowhere in picture.

Interestingly, the connotation of the phrase at the latter instance seemed to have a weird connection to the connotation of former one. Though I couldn't figure out how and why; and couldn't see a reason as to why they should be related either.

Anyways, I happened to google search for it today to find some clues. And apparently the phrase seems to be extremely popular for some reason. There were a zillion blogs with the same as their title. Also, apparently there is/was a TV series running by that name, but in some other language !

Well, now its not that I am bothered about the stuff I just mentioned. Its just that Iron Maiden is performing in Sydney this weekend. And I am going to attend it. So I guess now its my turn to say ....

Hello Sydney !!.
