"634-5789 (Soulsville, U.S.A.)" by Wilson Pickett peaked at #13 in 1966.
I posted lyrics to this yesterday. Check the archives at the
alt.music.lyrics web site if you're interested or get them from Lyrics
World.

"Beechwood 4-5789" by The Marvelettes peaked at #17 in 1962.
I think these lyrics may have been posted here in the last couple of days
too. If not, you can get them from Lyrics World

There is 835-5937 by Squeeze. I'm not sure if that is the title of the song
but it has that phone # in it.

There's Beechwood 4-5789 by the Marvellettes. What about Chantilly Lace
by The Big Bopper, I know that song was done as a one sides phone call
but I can't remember if there was actually a phone number in it.

How about "634-5789 (Soulsville, U.S.A.)" by Wilson Pickett and then
Eddie Floyd?

Or "842-3089 (Call My Name)" by Etta James?

phone number in some interesting yet annoying fashion, forcing the
masses to have the number memorized
