The phone number is from a song by the same name. The song is an '80s pop/rock song by, I believe, Tommy Tutone.

I am feeling NoworNever's signature :D :D :D I can relate

When I saw Now or Never's sig...I psit out my water on my computer screen!!! :o :eek: :)

We can ALL relate (at one point or another)!!!

lmao with tears in my eyes...that was too funny

I personally like sugar_n_spice cuz i'm such a fan of e. badu

the warrior's reminder

i am awake, my mind is free, i am creative, i love myself
my willpower is strong, i am brave, i practice patience
i don't judge folks, i give, not to receive, i don't expect, i accept
i listen more than i talk, i know i'll change, i know you'll change
i'll hold on one more day, i start over when necessary
i create my own situations, i am cosmic, i do not have the answers
i desire to learn, i am the plan, i am strong, i am weak
i want to grow, i know i will, i take on responsibility
i hide myself from no one, i'm on my path, warriors walk alone
i won't let my focus change, taking out the demons in my range

that's mama's gun

-Erykah Badu

I wonder the same thing about them 555 numbers on tv shows and i think the number is 777-9311???

I was like WHATTT?????? Okay!!!!! :p

I think o2bame's signature is nice. I got a little tear in my eye when I read it. I'm a sucker for love.

*A girl asked a boy if she was pretty... He said "No". She asked if he wanted to be with her forever... He said "NO". She then asked if he would cry if she walked away.... He again said "NO". He grabbed her and told her..." Your not pretty, your beautiful, and I dont want to be with you forever, I need to be with you forever, and I wouldn't cry if you walked away.... I would die."*

Yup, Tommy Tutone! OMG! I used to LOVE that song! I can’t believe that I didn’t recognize it. We’d torture a particular Jenny in my class, we had eight, by singing it whenever we saw her. That was 23 years ago and I was a freshman in HS. Man, I am about to be friggin decrepit.

867-5309 (Jenny)
Jenny Jenny who can I turn to
you give me something I can hold on to
now you think I'm like the others before
who saw you name and number on the wall

Jenny I got your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny don't change your number
867-5309, 867-5309, 867-5309, 867-5309

Jenny Jenny your the girl for me
you don't know me, but you make me so happy
I tried to call you before but I lost the nerve
I tried my imagination but I was disturbed

Jenny I got your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny don't change your number
867-5309, 867-5309, 867-5309, 867-5309

I got it, I got it, I got your number on the wall
I got it, I got it, for a good time, for a good time call

Jenny don't change your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny I got your number
867-5309, 867-5309, 867-5309, 867-5309

Jenny Jenny who can I turn to (867-5309)
for the price of a dime I can always turn to you

I LOVE this one too. I copied it and put it in my Inspirations file.

AWWW that's so sweet!!

The number was picked because it flowed. However, it belonged to a real guy and he had to change his number. I forgot where he lived but there was a program about songs like that on VH1.

777-9311

Baby, what's your phone number?
I know I'm kinda fast, but I hate to waste time.
Baby, what's your phone number?
Girl, I have to ask cuz you're so fine.

(chorus)
777-9311 - I wanna spend the night with you if that's alright.
777-9311 - Ooh baby, please can I come tonight?

Baby, what's your phone number?
How can you be reached on a lonely night?
Baby, what's your phone number?
How can I get into you when I'm feeling right?

(repeat chorus)

Ain't nothin' worse than rejection?
I'd feel a little better if you'd slapped my face.

Hey, what's your phone number?
Can't you see the agony I'm goin' through?
Baby, what's your phone number?
Girl, it's getting hard baby, won't you let me love you?

(repeat chorus)

I love UpPinkies' sig:

Writing a research paper is like being kicked to death by bunnies.....it takes a very very long time.

*hijack*

I'm willing to bet that both of those phone numbers probably belong to someone here in Central Florida. The '777' exchange may belong to someone living beachside (a little south from Cocoa Beach) and the '867' exchange is used at Kennedy Space Center.

*end hijack*

have to share random prince information again

777-9311 was sung by Morris Day and the Time while a catchy ditty with numbers in it ROFL it sounds absolutely nothing like 867-5309. There's another song with a phone number in it too that is escaping me but they all had to change their numbers cause folks were dialing them in cities all over the country.

I was a youngin when 777-9311 came out. I actually dialed it.
