867-5309- Is Jenny Calling you

This number might make me do a double take.

"Someone with a little knowledge of musical golden oldies is jangling nerves in Delaware.

Some people getting late night and early morning telemarketing calls in the Wilmington area have been doing a double take when they see the number on their caller ID: 867-5309. That's part of the title of a 1980s hit — "867-5309/Jenny" — by the band Tommy Tutone."

I used to play that song.

One of the public school districts where I used to teach had their entire network of phone numbers as 867-5***

Anytime I needed to dial an extension, I sang the song to myself, changing the last 3 digits if needed. I think the art room actually was 5309.

PT,

You should play it again.

Raggedy,

That is kind of funny.
