my chemical romance-Helena

[Zapranoth]

One of the guys in my medical school class had the annoyingly self-important affectation of a pager (wearing a pager as a first-year medical student -- yeah).  Some of the guys in the class (the sort of clown clique) thought they'd toy with the pager guy by paging him to 867-5309 repeatedly.

What really made the joke was that pager guy didn't get it, and would leave the anatomy table to go answer the page.  I'd look around the lab and see the class clowns falling out at their table, while pager guy was washing his hands and going to the hall telephone.

Other songs:

"Sarah"  (starship)
"Jessica" (Allman Brothers)
"Amanda"  (Boston)
"Sweet Jane" (Velvet Underground, the one true version of the song IMHO)
"Hey Micky" (by whatshername)

" Dear Jessie"  (Madonna)

and about four billion others I don't remember right now.

Hmmm... I just realized that my earlier post in this thread makes absolutely NO sense, 'cause I forget to actually put in the YouTube vid I was "Bwahaha"-ing about.

Let's try this again.

(by the way...considering that there aren't a ton of songs with a single name in the title, maybe it'd be nice to post only one so others can have a chance to post theirs)

Perhaps "Valerie" originally by The Zutons but this is the version by Any Winehouse and Mark Ronson.

I think the reason you couldn't find it is because the original was done by Them, not the Zombies.  I can see why you'd think it was the Zombies (for all I know they did a cover version).
