What about (619) 239-KING by Mojo Nixon? I believe this was an actual number for reporting Elvis sightings.

Dead Milkmen cameo at 3:51

i like the Logic song, but I was in the midst of a mental health crisis when I first heard it

(not one THAT serious, no, but the sentiment of the song helped nonetheless)

Half of them I don't know...Voted for "Star 69." Marcus wrote that the Beach Boys' "I Get Around" was an answer song to "Beechwood."

― clemenza, Sunday, 22 November 2020 01:41 (five years ago)

Star 69 was the only single I liked off of Monster

how do we explain what Star 69 is to kids nowadays

― Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Sunday, 22 November 2020 01:53 (five years ago)

I have a vague recollection that a friend had to explain to me what Star 69 meant at the time.

― clemenza, Sunday, 22 November 2020 02:43 (five years ago)

gotta be "Jenny" but the B-52s and PE songs are jams as well

1-900-USA-NAILS

― Iannis Xenakis double fisting Cutty Sark (Tom Violence), Saturday, 19 December 2020 01:25 (five years ago)

using phone dialing sounds in music is classic e.g “nolla” by sansibar and “saturdays” by cut copy

― 10percent Discocunt (jed_), Saturday, 19 December 2020 01:38 (five years ago)

Theres that city boy song "5705, but theres no reply", it's not very good mind you.

I kinda like the logic song, well it's also not very good but I remember having "who can relate!" come into my mind a lot after that song came out and maybe it helped some kids

― Babby's Yed Revisited (jim in vancouver), Saturday, 19 December 2020 01:51 (five years ago)

Seconding King Sunny Ade's "365 Is My Number"...he recorded it several times, but the Juju Music version is the one I heard first.
