ACDC had a similar problem with their song "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap." The line was an incomplete number, but the lyric was "Just call: 3-6.2-4.3-6... Hey! I'm in a life of crime." When you see it written, it's rather obvious the lyric gave measurements of a desired female form, (though the band swears it's an Australian phone number)but in just listening to it, many heard 362-4368, and dialed it to the displeasure of an Illinois couple who sued Atlantic records in 1981 for $250,000. I have no idea what happened in the court case.
There is a connection to the 50's with this song. The phrase "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" is a homage to the cartoon Beany and Cecil, which Angus Young watched when he was a child. One of the cartoon's characters was named Dishonest John, who carried a business card that read: "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Holidays, Sundays, and Special Rates.
At least, that's what Wikipedia told me...
