For Karen O and Danger Mouse, it was a drunk dial in 2008.

Horner was a complicated man, self-aggrandizing and dangerous to some, gentle and generous to others, a loving caregiver to his disabled brother Brian, a solitary figure who struggled with alcohol and drugs and would sometimes drunk dial late at night.

On A Thousand Horses’s single This Ain’t No Drunk Dial, lead singer Michael Hobby makes a tipsy call to his ex and pleads, “Girl, don’t hang up/I called on purpose/Yeah, I’ve had a few/Hell, I’m hurtin.”

Out of 486 undergraduates, 79% said they had either placed or received a drunk dial.

“Besides expressing positive and negative feelings, one type of drunk dial was quite prevalent in our data—the flippant expression of love,” the authors wrote in another version of the study.
