Cover art for 4 Out Of 5 lyrics by Soul Coughing

I always saw this as about a guy whose been on a dry spell for awhile. He's finally met an attractive female and gotten her phone number. He's creating a silly mnemonic in his head to try to remember her number... "Four and five therefore nine, nine and nine therefore eighteen, eighteen and eighteen therefore thirty six, four and five therefore nine"... So the fictitious girl's number would be 459-183-6459.
