Question ID: 527165
I want a list of atleast 10 popular songs in which a telephone number
is in the lyrics.  For example, Tommy Tutone's song, "Jenny"
(867-5309).  Tutone's song is probably the most popular song ever made
like this.  If you can find other songs(it doesn't matter the genre, I
appreciate it.
