I Still Like 222-2222

It must be very difficult to give your phone number to people if it starts with 867

Here's your Fun Fact for the day.  The 867 area code covers virtually all of Northern Canada, including the entirety of three territories: Yukon, Northwest, and Nunavut.  Presumably, there are 867 exchanges in many many other area codes with 7-digit numbers.

So everybody knows that Jenny's number is 867-5309.  Tommy Tutone made sure we were aware of that back in 1982, so we've got that covered.  Nobody actually knows who Jenny is, but that's not germane to the story.  The song, as would be expected, caused many people to start randomly calling the number in various area codes, because that's apparently an intelligent thing to do.  This has caused problems with people whose private residence had that number, and has also been used for financial gain by businesses who take advantage of increased call volumes of having a popular phone number.  

But what of all the other innocent people whose phone number merely begins with "867"?  Surely any time they're asked for their phone number, they have to provide it at least twice.  The first time, right after they finish the "867" part, the recipient breaks out in song, overrunning the person's actual number with "5309" before realizing that they did not actually collect the required information and are forced to ask for it again.  I would imagine after going through this process a number of times, people have started substituting their own numbers into the music of the song and have simply resorted to singing the entire thing.  I, personally, would be fascinated by somebody singing "867-9624" whether or not that person's name was Jenny.
