I wonder how many of these old phone number jingles have survived to the modern day. I imagine that ten-digit dialing did away with a few of them.
The only one I can ever remember from growing up in Austin is for pizza delivery and was re-recorded with a slight change and a very different sound (male rock vocal and instruments rather than a female with a jazz piano) a couple years back. Thanks to it, I occasionally put 459-2222 down on various web forms when I don't want to give my real phone number to whatever organization is collecting the info. The best/worst that I remember from my childhood was a rather rythmic chanting of "four" behind Pizza Hut ads for a couple years after they managed to acquire the number 444-4444. It was darn catchy and not always in a good way. -- David J. Lynch [email protected] -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
