In 1981, after the album was released in the U.S., Norman and Marilyn White of Libertyville, Illinois filed a $250,000 lawsuit in Lake County, Illinois Circuit Court against Atlantic Records and its distributors because, they alleged, their telephone number was included in the song, resulting in hundreds of prank phone calls.
The Whites' complaint stemmed from the inclusion of their phone number in the song, which allegedly led to a surge in prank calls, resulting in financial losses.
