    I thought that would be dangerously modern for some pluggers.

    I still know Empire Carpets’ phone number from their TV commercial: " five eight eight two three hundred… EMPIIIIRE!" Only Chicago/northwest Indiana residents will recognize that.

    I remember the national news said that a LOT of people in different area codes with the phone number 867 5309 were getting really mad about getting calls asking for Jenny! A LOT of calls…

    867 was the local exchange of my childhood. I was in high school when the song came out on the radio. The girl at school with that number was not named Jenny. But it was fun to have a song that sounded like it was “ours”.

    I used the music for my wife’s phone number when calling when we were dating. She could never understand why I was so bouncy on the phone when she answered.

    It’s kind of a gut check to realize that the song is over 42 years old. Not only that, but next month will mark the 40th anniversary of Metallica’s debut album “Kill ’Em All”.

    And don’t forget Pennsylvania 6-5000.Oh, and I still remember Crazy Eddie’s phone number from those silly commercials with DJ Jerry Carroll: 645-1196. Those ads were on the TV constantly back in the 1970s and ’80s.

    One of my favorite Chuck Berry tunes:

    ♪♫ "Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia.

    Tidewater four ten O nine.

    Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin’

    And the poor boy’s on the line." ♫♪

    Heck, I can remember “Pennsylvania 6-5000” (the original by Glen Miller). I do know about the “Transylvania” parody.

    I must be an older plugger. I remember Wilson Picket’s 634-5789.

    I’m so old that I remember listen to my boss telling Lee, “Are you serious? You want us to walk across that open field during the daylight hours? Tell my wife I won’t be home for dinner!”
