Songs and Lryics About Phone Numbers

Everybody knows about Jenny and that infectious song by Tommy Tutone. That song is of course 867-5309 the famous telephone number of lore. Guess what, thats not the only one. I bet you have heard of a few more of these. This is the that I could come up with, a lot of friends were called, forums read and googles googled. Some of these will not make sense in our view of a phone number, with antiquated and numbers from other countries. I am working up an explanation for some of the more obsure numbers and it will be added soon.

      You aint it miss thing
      Give me a sista I can't resist her
      Red beans and rice did miss her

      Cuz his girls were on my list
      He had game but he chose to hit 'em
      And pulled up quick to get with 'em
      So ladies if the butt is round
      And you wanna triple X throw down
      Dial 1-900-MIXALOT and kick them nasty thoughts
