Okay, this one is easy.

Yeah, yeah, I know -- there are lots of songs that reference telephones generally, but not so many that reference specific phone numbers.

If I've forgotten one, let us know -- that's why we have a comments section at this here blog.

Best Buy used to ask for my phone # at checkout - I don't know why. Radio Shack did too. I'd would always tell them (area code) 867-5309. They never got the joke.

From AC/DC Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap 36-24-36 is that supposed to be a phone number or someone's dimensions?
