So at my job, I sell tickets. When I make a reservation, I take the customer's address and phone number.One day, several years ago, I took a reservation for a woman whose phone number happened to be 853-5937. On this particular day, the little voice in my head that stops me from saying stupid things must have gone out for coffee, because suddenly I was telling the woman, "Hey! Your phone number is a song!"Now I'm betting y'all can guess the response I got. "Ummm. I'm pretty sure that's a different number." This would be when I should have let it go. This would be my out. But I couldn't let her think I was stupid. "No, no!" I said. "Not that song. This is a different song. It's by Squeeze."Yeah. This woman did not seem to be a big Squeeze fan. So as soon as I hung up the phone I turned to my co-workers to tell them my exciting news: "That woman's phone number was 853-5937! Isn't that cool?" Blank stares from everybody. Every. Body. Apparently I am the only Squeeze fan in the office.So I try some of my friends. "Y'all remember that Squeeze song? 853-5937? Y'all remember that, don't you?" No. I sing it for them. No. I look for the song on iTunes so I can play it for them. It's not available on iTunes. I tell this story on my blog, sure that someone out in the internet world will speak up and confirm that I am not making this up. No. No. NO. I finally decide to shut up about it before I am labeled the crazy phone number song lady. But every once in a while, the song randomly pops in my head and I check to see if its on iTunes.It's on iTunes. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to play this for a few people. Cause I know they've all been worried about it for years as well.
