Mike Jones had such a promising career after getting a fairly large segment of the population to remember a phone number he rapped - 218-330-8004.
He got sunk by a beef after releasing 1 album IIRC

I always use 867-5309 when grocery store terminals ask me to put in a phone number
That and if they ask for an address use 612 wharf avenue
I forget, is that where Randy the Astonishing lives?

Ah fuck I just posted this one without double checking no one else had.
Anyway, how did Mike Jones not end up working in advertising getting so many people to remember a random phone #?
867-5309
Oh yeah definitely 911. Kids in nz will say call 911 instead of 111 its wild how far that influence carries.

I can't help but sing the jingle in my head every time I see this.

Around me, 242-2000 might be a close second to yours. It's for a taxi company.
They even have a little jingle for it. Can't forget it even when im drunk.
867-5309 is definitely the first one that comes to mind for me.
But also, Carrot Top saying "Call 1 800 C A L L A T T, it's free for you, and cheap for them" has been stuck in my head for a long time now.
. 112.
Most common emergency number.

Before Jenny, there was Pennsylvania 6-5000. From wiki:
"Many big band musicians played in Hotel Pennsylvania's Cafe Rouge in New York City, including the Glenn Miller Orchestra. The hotel's telephone number, Pennsylvania 6-5000, inspired the Glenn Miller 1940 Top 5 Billboard hit of the same name."
And similarly, Transylvania 6-5000, which is where I first heard it.
"Is funny?"

Not the most famous by any means, but about 30 years ago I saw an episode of Cheers where Frasier Crane's ex-wife was trying to win him back, and she supplies her phone number through a singing doll. The doll repeated the number so many times that I still remember it: 555-6792.
in the UK 118 118 has got to be pretty up there
But older, but 0800 2 15000 manages to be stuck in my own, and I'm sure many people's heads to this day.
Got your number
