So my joke was a bunch of us in the local Corvette group a few years ago went to Tail of the Dragon, we had a big post in the Corvette group and it was brought up to put in everyone's phone number. I put mine in as 850-867-5309. Purely out of sarcasm. A few people stored that as my number. 850 is this area code for this region of Florida, the other part as it was in the song.Urban legend has it that, back in the day, pre computer driven auto-dialer, someone actually attempted to discover if the number was genuine by adding all the area codes for the continental US to it, one at a time, and dialing them. The story has it that the individual in question actually did create a combination of area code and number that resulted in a phone call that someone answered.
There have also been attempts to obtain the number as a vanity item; think Bell finally stepped in and cut the whole thing off,
