"Hello Operator" is the only single released from De Stijl, the second album by the Detroit, Michigan, garage rock band the White Stripes.

It was released in May 2000, backed by the White Stripes' off-kilter cover of Dolly Parton's "Jolene".

John Peel listed it as his single of the week on his radio show, despite it not being released in the UK.

[2] Paste and Stereogum ranked the song number ten and number seven, respectively, on their lists of the 10 greatest White Stripes songs.

[3][4] Rolling Stone praised Jack White's "knack for phrasing—both his vocals and guitar lines", and Meg White's "minimal" drumming style.
