First, 73833 in letters is FCGCC. FCGCC has no meaning unless you know music, which then, it becomes chords to a song. Specifically, lyrics to the song called, "Geeky Blues" It is specially known for the cheesy chorus: "204 is lesser than 205. 205 is greater than 204. But all these facts are useless. Because you don't love me anymore."

F-C-G-C-C are chords to many songs but it was first heard popularly by an underground rock band in the 60's called BLPQR.
