Anyone fimiliar with the song by Tommy Tutone will know what I\'m talking about.  In the song their is a chorus and it repeats the number 867-5309, so me being as curious as I am I called it up... and well, it was disconnected.  I looked into it, and I found out I wasn\'t the first, apparently the song has been causing grief since the 80\'s.:laughing:

And if your wondering what made me bring this up, there is a cingular commercial that uses the song as well as an episode of Family Guy.

Call me old-fashioned but what would drive your curiosity so high to call numbers you see or hear in the media?  Maybe I just don\'t have as many minutes as you. ;)
