Tommy Tutone - 867-5309/Jenny b/w Not Say Goodbye (1981) - single

"867-5309/Jenny" is a song written by Alex Call and Jim Keller and performed by Tommy Tutone that was released on the album “Tommy Tutone 2”, It peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1982.
The song caused a fad of people dialing 867-5309 and asking for "Jenny".
"There was no Jenny," songwriter Alex Call told, "The number? It came to me out of the ether." Lead guitarist Jim Keller, interviewed by People in 1982, tells a different story. "Jenny is a regular girl, not a hooker. Friends of mine wrote her name and number on a men's room wall at a bar. I called her on a dare, and we dated for a while. I haven't talked with her since the song became a hit, but I hear she thinks I'm a real jerk for writing it."
