Is it really? I guess it makes sense, but I never thought of it.

Not true. They just can't use a person's phone number. They can use a non-555 number if, say, the studio owns that number. Bruce Almighty made this mistake; the original release had a non-555 number that they mistakenly thought was theirs, so the DVD release had it changed to a 555 number.

I always wondered if it had something to do with old musicals. Like they thought it would fit well in a song.
