I heard this today and thought it was a nice little funny story.
Rap fans bombard family's phone
The couple's number is the first seven digits of the number in the song
Thousands of rap fans have been bombarding an Oldham family with calls - ever since their phone number featured on a famous rap track.
US rap artist Soulja Boy included the ex-directory number in his latest hit, Kiss Me Thru The Phone.
Since its release, Gerry Matley and Catriona Howard Smith's have received about 60 calls a day from people hoping to speak to the 18-year-old star.
The couple said they had "to let fans down" by saying he was not from Oldham.
The first seven numbers of the 12-digit number in the rapper's song directs callers straight to the couple's home phone.
Kiss Me Thru The Phone reached a high position of number six on the UK Singles Chart after its release last month.
