666-666-6666 The phone number of the beast


I realized I left out some important information. First - I left out the country code. The full number should be - 66-666-666-6666.

Second - I forget to give the toll-free number - 800-666-666 - free in the USA.

I got married to the widow next door. She's been married seven times before

I remember it vividly. Driving down the lane to my grandfather's farm on a dirt road with the windows down in the summer of 1965. Listening on WCAO from Baltimore - Top 20 radio. It was very short. I loved it. I heard it so many times in the first two weeks after it came out that I couldn't listen again for 20 years. Those were the days before FM radio and album rock format.

Reply to T Clark The good old days when it was not necessary to sing about sex or wear almost nothing to be famous.
