Not long before this entire enjoyable thread gets obliterated so this youngster can save face and erase this epic fail, as if it never happened.
The youngsters can only hack winning these days, even if a little revisionist history is called for.
Any means to an end.
God help us!
@2dqx, ssshhhh, quiet, or you’ll be censored by a millennial ignoramus for giving away state secrets.
2vrf: You may be interested to know that Pennsylvania6-5000 in the Glen Miller song was, and still is, the phone number of the Hotel Pennsylvania in NYC (right across from Madison Square Garden.)
The Glenn Miller orchestra frequently played the ballroom there. I read once that it is the oldest number in continuous use in NYC. The area code is 212.
No need to censor and remove again young moderator.
867-5309 is simply a 1981 song by Tommy Tutone but, lacking historical perspective, you chose to obliterate it.
FYI, should it come up, 853-5937 is an old Squeeze song, The Time did 777-9311, Beechwood 4-5789 is a Marvelettes song from 1962 (BTW, youngin’, Beechwood is “code” for “23”), the great Wilson Pickett did 634-5789 four years later and, there’s no need to fear the Glenn Miller Orchestras piece Pennsylvania 6-5000 (hint, Pennsylvania, in this context, means “73”.
You see, your generation’s got it’s “420”, and we got our Butterfield 8 “code”.
Don’t fear the historical unknown.
Hey, OP, will you still still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty-four?

@1bza, what about the West Coast L.A. band The Nerves, Hanging on The Telephone (1976), which Blondie covered in an almost exact manner two years later?
Blondie gravitated towards telephone songs a couple of times.
[Phone rings..Clink of receiver being lifted]
"Hello..?"
"Yes, a collect call for Mrs. Floyd from Mr. Floyd.
Will you accept the charges from United States?"
[clunk! of phone being put down]
"Oh, He hung up! That's your residence, right? I wonder why he hung up?
Is there supposed to be someone else there besides your wife there to answer?"
[Phone rings again...clunk of receiver being picked up]
"Hello?"
"This is United States calling, are we reaching...
[interrupted by phone being put down]
"See he keeps hanging up, and it's a man answering."

Lady Antebellum - Need You Now
Reminds me of teenage pain
Reachin’ for the phone ‘cause I can’t fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It’s a quarter after 1
I’m all alone
And I need you now
Said I wouldn’t call
But I lost all control
And I need you now...
