867-5309/Jenny – Tommy Tutone
Lead guitarist of Tommy Tutone revealed the inspiration for the 1981 hit song in an interview with People magazine: “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.”
