"Hello Hooray" is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Rolf Kempf, and first recorded by Judy Collins on her 1968 album Who Knows Where the Time Goes.[2] Its most famous rendition was by the band Alice Cooper, who covered it on their 1973 album Billion Dollar Babies.[3] The Alice Cooper version was released as a single (now spelled "Hello Hurray"), and reached #35 on the Billboard Hot 100.[4] It also saw success internationally, reaching #6 on the UK Singles Chart,[5] #6 in the Netherlands on the MegaCharts,[6] #13 on Germany's Media Control Chart, #14 on the Ireland chart,[7] #16 on the Austria chart,[8] and #95 on Australia's ARIA chart.
Record World said of it that "Alice departs from its usual high energy with this slower tune written by Rolf Kempf."[9]
