Yeah, well...since tsuwm's looking up a history of numbers 9, 3, and 7 for us, I thought I'd work it in.

My former idol, the former "Sonny Boy" Williamson had a fascination with the number "9". The number appeared in a large number of his songs and in the titles of two...
Ninty-nine
Well my Baby taken sick on July twenty-nine
The one I love she taken sick Boys, on July twenty-nine
Her doctor bill was four hundred dollars
and I didn't have but three hundred and ninty-nine.
Nine Below Zero
Ain't it a pity
People I declare it's a crying shame
She waited until it got nine below zero
Then she put me down for another man.

As tsuwm notes, nine and three and seven all have mystical roots and have been much used by fantasists
-seven-league boots
-The Seventh Seal
-7th son of the 7th son
-7 wonders of the ancient world
-time measured by a 7-day week (established by the babylonians, I believe, per their belief that 7 was a sacred number)
