I heard a rumor that back when this song was popular, they had to invalidate the phone number b/c of all the krank calls the respective owners in different area codes. Dunno if that’s actually true or not, but I’ll still take the credit for it as my “useless factoid of the day”. Having met my quota, I will now go in search of coffee filters.

I beleive it. Heck, I remember hearing the song in the 90s, and did similar phone related shananignas, so i can only imagine when the song came out, it caused quite a few adventures on a sat night.

If you used to cal 703-867-5309 it used to just play the song and hang up… whoever owned the number must have changed it though.
