Line 202:
* AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" averts it mentioning the phone number 36-24-36.
** [[Bob Rivers]]' parody "Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep" replaces this with "Don't call 976-B-A-A-A, that kind of love's a crime". In many area codes, +1-NPA-976-XXXX numbers are high-premium.
* [[De La Soul]]'s "Ring Ring Ring" averts this: "You wanna call me? Take my number down. It's 222-2222. I've got an answering machine that will talk to you." The number is usually blanked out in TV and radio broadcasts of the song and its music video, because it's actually used by the ''Chicago Tribune'', among others. In Winnipeg, it's the pizza hotline.
* The video for [[Genesis (band)|Genesis]]'s song "Jesus He Knows Me" featured the (parodied) televangelist's contribution hotline as '1-555-GEN-ESIS'. Area code 555 is reserved to avoid confusion with the +1-NPA-555-1212 information and directory assistance numbers.
* The incomplete form used for a website name in the ''Animainiacs'' song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpzuIDPwEU4 "LA Dot"]"You can find me on my webpage spot w w w dot dot dot
