How about this one:
David was next to giddy about the group all being in touch with each other via phone."
(Context: The system had been out of order so they couldn't have used their phone. At last the system became normal situation. )

#1 "Earth to xxx" carries the connotation: "Get real - pay attention to what the rest of the world thinks/wants".
#2 He was really excited that things are back to normal - it is making his head spin. Very colloquial.
