Bumping my own thread, two songs with phone numbers.


867-5309 / Jenny
by Tommy Tutone




and



777-9311
by Morris Day And The Time






Since the first title contains minus and divide signs, I felt a closer mathematical inspection was warranted. It revealed not only that 8675309 is a prime number but so is its twin prime 8675311 perhaps is it Jenny's twin phone number (though she never got her own song).

Interestingly, the second title 7779311 is also a prime, which could cast doubts of plagiarism would it not be for its vastly different style and incredibly unique hi-hat beat.

[EDIT 2016-03-08]
Oh, and there is more to it. Somebody has expressed 8675309 as (7⁽ᵉ⁻⅟ᵉ⁾ - 9) ∙ π² ...also revealing the year the song was written!
