Is there any significance behind the number 319?

Same goes for 2the9's?

Any ideas?

There are a whole slew of possible origins of "dressed to the nines," meaning to be dressed in an elegant or elaborate fashion. One theory is that it came from an Old English saying "dressed to the eyes," or to please the beholder, which, in the peculiar spelling of Old English, would have appeared "dressed to then eyne." Through a process called "metanalysis," in which letters from one word migrate over time to a neighboring word, "then eyne" might have become "the neyne" and then "the nines." A similar metanalytic process transformed "a napron" (related to "napkin") to our modern "an apron."

On the other hand, the number nine holds an exalted place in numerology, and might have been adopted in the distant past as a synonym for "superlative." "Dressed to the nines" would thus be equivalent to our modern "dressed to the max."

It's also possible that the phrase come from an old jeweler's phrase "nine nines fine," referring to gold of 99.999 percent purity, or that the phrase refers to the nine muses of classical mythology, or to the spiffy uniforms of the 99th Wiltshire Regiment in England, or, well, you get the idea. There is no one answer, so I guess you'll just have to pick the theory you like best. Personally, I like the one about 99 bottles of beer.

Does that help?

That's what I associated 2 the 9's with also. Like lovin' till you can't love no mo'! But then that wouldn't be lovin' to the nines...I think it's like loving till you get
'2 cloud 9' or something like that. Well at least that's how it makes sense to me:)

By the way, I love that song! Now 319, no clue as of yet, haven't heard it.

I've alwayst thought 319 was some escort number, since in the beginning of the song he seems 2 ask some operator 2 dail 319 or to transfer the call to (girl?) 319 (the operator responds 'un instant, je vous connecte')

Saying 2 the 9s is like saying "all out."

2the9s actually explained it pretty well...

Of course, if you're 2the9s the orger, it just means something like "idiot."

Oh my dear lawd . Starmist7 YOU'RE A DAMN FOOL if you haven't heard of it, its THE FUNKIEST SONG in The Golden Experience! you should check it out!!

Trainspotter fact no.319...

The song 319 on the original version of the Gold Experience was exactly 3:19 in length.
