Timeless rock!

 

Timeless rock? Is that what they are calling one hit wonders nowadays?

Wilson is kinda dead but, he is in the rock-n-roll hall of fame.

 

25 years later and I was still bouncing my head to it.

 

I didn't realize that '867-5309' had climbed all the way to #4, 25 years ago (1982).

Mr Picketts' '634-5789' reached #1, 41 years ago (1966).

 

i first realized about the 555 telephone number thing on TV, during an episode of "Mannix". joe mannix (mike conners) told somebody his phone number and it started with 555. then i realized that greg brady had also mentioned that his phone number started with 555...... hmmmmm very curious.

do they live in the same town?

ohhhhh i get it !!
everybody on TV has a telephone number that starts with 555......

see ya - oaw

 

The chick on Back to the Future, Martys Girl Friend. Her number was also 555 as wel las his moms parents, If you want a Taxi, the number for Loui's is 555, The Simpsons are also 555. But apparently 555 is actually a number though. Only 555-0100 through 555-0199 are now specifically reserved for fictional use. If it's anything outside of that then it could be the actual number. Throughout North America, 1-XXX-555-1212 will connect to directory assistance for the specified area code.

Some shows and movies do use the number for the actual place they are portraying. For example One During The West Wing Season 2 episode "In This White House," a character receives a call from phone number 202-456-1414. This is the actual switchboard number for The White House.

Many shows are also giving the producers cell phone numbers or shows office numbers incase some one trys to call it. Then they get a hold of the show....

 

Wow, this thread has taken on a life of it's own. Cool!
