Jenny, Are You There?
This has been noted on many blogs, but I can't help but to link to it since I find this kind of obsession and minutia fascinating:

"There is an 80s song by Tommy Tutone called "Jenny (867-5309)" about a guy finding a girl's name and number on a wall and he wants to call it. The song led to telephone lines getting jammed when the song first came out, which led to the rumor that telephone companies don't give the number out or discontinued every 867-5309 out there. As you can see, I proved this wrong."

Perhaps, I wouldn't find it as funny if it weren't for a few drunken nights when the song first came out when I tried to do the same, but heck; didn't everybody? And for more triviality, be sure to check out this mind numbing site: A compilation of 555 numbers from movies, television and radio.
