98.0. "Songs with Phone Numbers" by 15646::WILSON (Girl You Know It's True) Thu Dec 19 1991 09:21

    Who was the band that did the song with the phone number, "867-5309"?
    
    (We could also make this note fun by listing as many songs as we can
    think of with phone numbers in them.)

    I thought that was Squeeze re Angela who can't make it to the 'phone. 
    Could be wrong.
    
    How about Glen Miller's "Pennsylvania 6-5000"?

"867-5309" was by Tommy Tutone (just a spelling correction from an earlier 
reply). We do that song in my band! Great rocker!!!

    AC/DC had a phone number (can't remember it) on the Dirty Deeds Done
    Dirt Cheap song. Twas apparently rung by curious fans causing a bit
    of distress to the number owners.

    In Gloria Estefan's "Into the Light" album there is a song "Sex In The
    90's", where they mention "1-900-476-DATE".  (BTW, I'm not sure of the
    exact numbers before the -DATE, but that's not the point.)

    	"Dirty Deeds" - AC/DC - 362-4368.
    
    	Joan Jett used 362-4350, for some reason.

    I'm not sure AC/DC used a 7 digit phone number.  I always thought it
    was the numbers 36-24-36, which should be familiar enough.  The
    clincher might be if someone could say whether British phones use 6 or
    7 digits in their numbers.

	Mojo Nixon did a tune called "Elvis is Everywhere", and it had a phone
number you were supposed to call if you wanted to report an Elvis sighting.

	I called it once, and on the other end was an answering machine with 
Mojo going on about Elvis.  I left a pretty silly message, that I'm sure fell on
deaf ears.

	I only remeber the last four digits were :  5464

    AC/DC actually sang 3-6-2-4-3-6-Hey!, making the "Hey" sound like an
    eight.  That way they:
    
    		o were able to use familiar body measurements
    		o sounded like they had a real phone number
    		o could avoid lawsuits by the real owner of that
    		  number by pointing out that the last digit wasn't
    		  really a number
