Of course, if someone says, "Stop," you have to respond with, "Hammer time!"
Similarly, if someone asks, "What time is it?", the correct answer is: "Four-thirty!"
I read somehwere, a long time ago, that the "4:30" in the Spin Doctors' song, "What Time Is It?" refers to the time of day that factory workers in America would traditionally clock off on a Friday afternoon. I seem to recall that refering to something as "4:30" meant that it was broken, faulty or substandard in some way - somewhat similar in connotation to the "Friday car" referred to in the UK when someone has a car that repeatedly develops faults.
However, I cannot now find any such reference to this vernacular on the interwoop. So maybe I dreamt the whole thing.

I am sure that Jessie J did not intend it to be funny but for me it is: In the opening bars of her single, Price Tag, she calls out some bizarre lines:-
“Coconut Man, Moon Head, and Pea.”
It cracks me up every time. It's so "random", as the young people say. But I did start wondering, What the heck is she on about? Well, my mind is now put to rest and so can yours be, dear reader, if you were wanting to understand the significance, as I have fiound what appears to be the answer:-
Respect to http://spinme.com/2011/03/coconut-man-moon-heads-and-pee/.
So apparrently:-
Yes she is shouting out to the two people who wrote the song with her, it's sort of a (not so) private joke!
Coconut Man = Dr Luke (apparently he ate a lot of coconuts and got them delivered to the studio all the time), Moonhead = Claude Kelly (she called him this because he has a big head) and Pea = herself!! (They called her Pea because she has a small head!)
