Have you ever called 867-5309?

I heard this song on the radio this morning, and it made me wonder, how many of us did this? I know I did, hehehe, but I was in high school at the time in my defense . . .It was a song by Tommy Tutone, back in the 80's it was all the rage. The title of the song is just this, the phone number. It was a big deal back when it was popular to actually call the number, using your particular area code. Anyone who had that number was inundated with calls and had to change their number. It was quite a phenomenon. I think I am aging myself on this one, lol.
