The PIN Number Song

England has traditionally lagged in music. From central Europe came musical figures like Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Chopin and Paderewski. England didn't really have a music genre of it's own like Opera or Flamenco.

But it made up for it during the Rock Music era. What I wonder is how many people, who came of age during the late 1970s or early 1980s especially those with a connection to Britain, have used 5705 as a PIN number. This was the 1978 song from the Birmingham band called City Boy. They weren't well-known other than for this song.

Maybe the song, which is about a phone number, came a couple of decades too early. But when the technology came along that required coming up with a four-digit PIN number that we won't forget, how many people are there who immediately thought of 5705?

This song was made for PIN numbers.
