By The Numbers

I was just listening to two of the best known phone number songs, "634-5789" by Wilson Pickett and "867-5309" Tommy Tutone. and it hit me, the latter song really tried, but the former is just pretending.

Look at it--6345789. That's just counting numbers, with the 6 taken out of the middle and put in front. They didn't make an attempt at randomness. But 8675309 goes all over the place. My main complaint is they didn't repeat any numbers, which shows they're trying a little too hard.

PS I have no use for "Pennsylvania 6-5000."
