Jenny (867-5309) - Tommy Tutone

EDIT: Had to "bump" this up after reading the following article

Now you can have Jenny's number

WEEHAWKEN, N.J. - After five years fielding thousands of calls to one of rock 'n' roll's most celebrated phone numbers, disc jockey Spencer Potter is hanging up on Jenny.

Her seven digits are familiar to anyone who paid attention to pop music in the early 1980s: 867-5309, immortalized by the band Tommy Tutone.

Potter and his roommates requested the number on a lark for their home phone in northern New Jersey. They got it, along with about 30 to 40 calls a day.

The 28-year-old Potter says he's selling his business, A Blast Entertainment, and moving to New York. The business and the phone number are for sale on eBay, where the high bid was about $1,000 by Sunday morning.



I knew I had posted the video, but after finding the audio track had been disabled, had to go find another version.

(I think the music business is shooting itself in the foot with this stuff; after viewing the video last May when I originally posted it, I bought the mp3 from Amazon)

Wonder if Spencer Potter is any kin to Harry?
