Poor Jenny must be pissed! She had to change her number bacause everybody kept calling her! 867-5309...What's Jenny's # again? Oh ya, 867-5309...

[Thisismebeingme7]

I just called this number and some guy operater answers and said thank you for calling 8675309 to view are naked body models and he went on. What the hell happened to Jenny

[JuliaTrekkie1701]

They just dont make music like this anymore...

[OlymPigs2010]

@JuliaTrekkie1701 ...or phone numbers!

[sauquoit13456]

On this date in 1982 {Jan. 23rd} '867-5309/Jenny' entered the Billboard's Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at No. 4 and spent a half year {27 weeks} in the Top 100...

[realmrkarate]

ah you don't know me but you make me so horny!

[jek19801980]

[cc150534]

My 8th grade math teacher would sing this all the time, and that was last year :) This is awesome, why cant all music be like this?!

[lucasrose100]

i love it it is so i dont know

[mielazul]

I think there was a G.I. Joe with an outfit like the bass player's. It didn't come with a bass, though. That would have been cool.

[mrkymrk19561]

I just called the number now and Obama answered

[babyimawantyou]

Its Always The One Hit Wonders That Gives The Best Jam

[cavhoki]

[BearHands31]

I like how they jammed it out in the middle. :-)

[athletics4987]

This music is so much better then the shit kids listen to today im a kid fyi

[hollywoodartchick]

@athletics4987 God, I relate to what you are saying, and I was a kid when this was popular. Know where I find incredible, quality music like you can't find on the radio? At my local clubs where bands are not plastic, overprocessed products. I hope you have some good ones in your area.

[toontownsalty98]

@athletics4987 Your opinion cus my nigga waka go harder than this nigga

[ShadowSpartan9x]

Thumbs up for the bassist's sweet 80's outfit

[singlespeed1966]

where are you tommy? we miss you

[Fancehh]

Such an amazing song, I wish I was born in the 80's. People like Biggie Smalls, Tupac, and Eazy-E would be alive, and amazing music like these guys.

[Crimethoughtfull]

Once worked w/ an electrician who, when writing measurements, would inscribe them upon the studs...and sing under his breath..."I got it, I got it, I got your number off the wall"...LOL

[kingpin08918]

i'm gonna laugh the next time i ask for a girls number and she gives me this number... then i'm simply gonna reply.."i like your taste in music" and walk away.

[sweezamuffin]

@kingpin08918 What? Girls have given you this number before?

[CommentorX]

All hail the era of the power suit!

[TheMasterGouki]

geez, what a great sounding live performance

[drunkingham138]

Two men sharing the same mic rarely happens anymore.



[sparkafunk]

@drunkingham138 ---that's because, thru the wondrous advances in modern medical science, technology, knowledge, and education, vocalists now practice safe-sing techniques (whenever possible)

[dallasewings]

Love this song, thanks for posting it.

[usedcar6]

A plumbing company is using this song & number in their TV ad in the Tampa Bay area !

[dariusolsendogssss]

I’ve called that number like 1mill times and i ask for jenny but some guy cusses me out no joke I’m out of minuets on my cell phone!

[58floyd]

I end up humming this without realizing it when I play UNO

[KwNJn1]

@58floyd OMG me too!

[donjames150]

it's great. The end.

[Andreguy3000]

[LJD25]

A lot of missing teeth...

[69luvpup]

OMG I called this number up and asked if Jenny was there :D

[325v64]

@69luvpup That wuz YOU???? %-\

[moldycheeseism]

I have no idea where I first heard this song but I was walking around one day, heard it, and ran straight home and looked it up. I cannot believe that I haven't heard this in so many years...

[tymitch1100]

I punked one of my buddies with this song, my junior year of high school! told him i knew a hot chick named Jenny and gave him the number. He believed me for a whole month, then one day he came up to me and said Jenny didn't answer his call. I told him the truth and he just said "I hate you, man." but we still laugh harder than hell when it's brought up. Thumbs up if you or any of your friends got punked by this song.

[IndianChild101]

if Angela doesnt anwer at 853 5937 then ill call Jenny

[TheDecimater1000]

i called this number

[ranmore20002000]

Back in the day I though of this as a pop song but when i listen now, esp this live version I can hear that it ROCKS! I love the bit of extended lead on this great version! Really brings me up if down or sleepy! Thank StRoseMusicPublish. Check out a newer group carrying on with great Rock and Roll...Search Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, esp "Paris" from The David Letterman Show".

[greenbrae7]

Dear Jenny, Part3

I know there's a likelihood that you used to be teased, possibly verging on being persecuted, because of the connotations of the lyrics. However, I hope you don't dislike the song.

The origin of the song was explained by Tommy when he was interviewed on WGN TV in Chicago, recently.

I'll send you a copy of the interview (along with him singing the song 25 years after the initial recording). That way he can relate the song's origin to you himself. lol

G......

[greenbrae7]

Dear Jenny, Part2

... and lo! what luck. There was an excellent live version available, although all the uploads of the original version of this song have beeen "audio disabled" due to copyright claims. I couldn't get over how well the song was being performed live. In fact only when the track ran longer than the original recording time was I certain that it was a live version.

Halfway through watching the video, the "Jenny connection" dawned on me... Duh.

Part 3 follows

[greenbrae7]

Dear Jenny, Part 1

I was searching through my youtube favourites to find something appropriate to accompany the "Mountain Retreat" experience" I've sent you. After tedious consideration, I eventually decided / rationalized that the literature could / should stand on it's own and that I'd send you some music separately.

Remarkably, whilst I was youtube browsing, "8675309" came to mind, a well loved favourite of mine. I hoped there'd be a copy to add to my youtube favourites.... See Part 2

[greenbrae7]

This is LIVE, yet it's = to or > than the original, i.e. equal to or better than the ori GINAL.

Tommy is an underappreciated genius with such heart and soul. I just love his attitude. I was looking for some appealing music to send to a new lady in my life; somehow this came to mind.... Only half way through it did it dawn on me that HER name is Jenny. Subconscious, Subliminal, whatever... Who cares, I just love and enjoy it.... it brings such joy. Eighties uninhibited, expansive, celebration.

[niwrad68]

jenny brought me here:}HA

[MADCastro2010]

Thumbs up if the girl you love brought you here.

[tooter351]

bad teacher bought me here.

[xxnateXslapxx]

@rubenmcartneyquition i called you (:

[gulleycharlene]

one hits are the geatest i think i forgot about this song . but it is awesome '.sing it guys tommy tutone

[jokerswildio]

Seriously, one of the funnest songs ever written--in history!!>>They've got some other pretty cool songs also,,,but were overshadowed by the power of the classic hook of this one and only "phone number song"...check out "Only One" and "Steal Away" by Tommy Tutone....

[Nr32LionKing]

@jokerswildio Try this song "Stephen Lynch - Kitten".

You will understand in the end of the song.

[loverenee1000]

This song was on the radio yesterday so me n my dad were jamming out then he told to call 867-5309 and ask for Jenny... No one answered though:(

[loveandpeaceFTW]

@AntiSocialChannel85 if you put the area code 418 in front of it.. someone answered when i called hahah XD

[AntiSocialChannel85]

@loveandpeaceFTW

Then say Jenny?

[loveandpeaceFTW]

@AntiSocialChannel85 when i called i was just like "jenny?", and she said yes. then i played the song

[BGSU39]

[TheGeneLightShow]

@BGSU39 who the fuck says small stones? lol just call em pebbles fail troll

[HunnyIfYouLoveMe]

This is my passcode on my phone. Just incase anyone cares.

[rubenmcartneyquition]

867-9798 (503) area code. for the price of a call you can always call me.

[Nightavenger2]

I finally heard this song on the radio again, and it is a amazing song.

[likamoosica]

Lots of people part their teeth in the middle. He's ok.

[mckessa17]

Lots of hits, obviously a solid tune.........

[renzo189]

I wonder if when this song came out and became a super hit the owner of that number killed himself or just changed his name to Jenny

[uppon2]

@renzo189 It was a real girls name and number of a fan. They were not suppose to release it with it in the song but they did. Tommy says it in an interview at least

[renzo189]

@uppon2 WoW great ! Good way to screw things with a girl hehe

[renzo189]

FUUUUUUUCKING GREAT SOOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[XxStormxRaexX]

Stupid WMC disabled every other video so I gotta watch it live... >_<

[XenteMusic]

@XxStormxRaexX Seems counterproductive to me... I mean at least set up a Vevo or something >.>

[TheNegativeAlchemist]

Thumbs up if you actually looked this song up because you actually like it.

[SApplebm]

The most famous phone number of Rock'n Roll !

[seltonsss]

é muito boa essa musica eu escuto todo dia!

[Dininiful]

Why is everybody just sitting there? I would be jumping and dancing!

[Liartar]

thumbs up if Mehran's Stanford videolectures on Java brough you here :)

[atomicpunk48]

This song used to annoy me back in '82. In 2011, it sounds pretty good compared to what's out there today. Shit, even the Bee Gees sound really good now. It's Tragedy.

[MrChewwyyy]

thumbs up if YouTube brought you here

[Mr44883]

Dorks with instruments.

[xxoxamericangirlxxox]

thumbs up if your ex boyfriend brought you here

[paulf25]

The guy thats phone number is this must get pissed off from everyone phoning it all the time hahaha

[tokayhigh13]

@paulf25 its was actually a story about that,that number doesn't work anymore they kept getting 20,000 calls a day when the song came out. So this is another number that doesn't work :L

[CallJennyAt8675309]

^-^ hehee

[NinetiesYouth]

I guess Heath invented this beautiful chord progression that I'm obsessed with

[blackishlovah123]

My gay niggeraguan friend brought me here.....he gave me a false fone number

[Davidonsnake]

thumbs up if wanting to listen to the song brought you here

[travisxgreggxajax1]

No mistakes:) People don't have the same standards for live shows of more modern bands. I like how there's a mic in front of every one of these guys...and all voices are utilized well. Great song. Timeless...

[OzarkExplorer]

Fantastic song!! 

[Celias8585]

Thumbs up if you added you area code and called this number :)

[ukelivia]

[dojofish132]

Thumbs up if 867-5309 running through your head brought you here.

[flashman422]

i once called 704 867 5309 and a guy picked up sayin quit calling me you bastard.lol a lot of people must call him

[TheMagicAnimals24]

@flashman422 It was a woman that had this number when the song came out. Now, not a single person will have this number just because of the song.

[dessy8675309]

mah username for a lot of things has 8675309 in it. for instince mah youtube account

[sashasvices]

This song is a lot darker than it first seems. He's slut shaming the shit out of this girl.

Still, It's an awesome song and kind of sexy.

Also, they appear to be on lots of drugs

[seltonsss]

muito legaaal *------*

[ohjtbehaaave]

Tommy Toothtone. Great Song

[scabberson]

Don't know whether to smile back at Tommy Tutone or kick a field goal.

[bostonasscal]

[Erik007able]

[BillyG800]

jenny jenny could fill the gap in his heart, but not in his teeth...

[yruwatchingnow]

Fridays ended it's run in April of 1982. So how could this be from 1983?

[BasketCase995]

My name is Jenny. Someone asked for my number once and I trolled them by writing down this number. She googled it and punched me next morning :P

[jnctf]

this is the # I once gave to a guy that wouldn't leave me alone. lol

[Benson0727]

heard this song in "Bad teacher" cool song :) haha

[iJulia07]

@Benson0727 me too

[moymoy258]

I'm listen this in Bad Teacher

[youraverageuser]

phone #'s were never the same, classic tune! 

[bleedinblues1]

54 dislikes - ugly dudes that Jenny rejected.

[toogawnjawn]

@bleedinblues1 I do not know if you have heard the saga or history of this song, but just tonight the Seattle news did a story about this phone number, I know the last that I heard is that the phone number came up for auction and the rights for the number sold for tweleve grand, I do not know if the same person still owns the rights, but the current owner made claims that he has saved thousands of dollars in discounts from stores with out being a member, it has worked in very few grocery stores.

[Roxas5001]

Love it. I play this song in band :D

[COWBOYSANDBEER]

"Sexual harassment has never been so catchy before this!"

[mlarson44]

What's up with that backwards leg kick at 0:51 ?

[WaterFlowingUG]

@mlarson44 He is a cool rock star.

[anthonykrevenky]

867 5309!!!!! all the way i heard they took that number off line because so much people called it!!!

[fishpee1234567]

love this song.xD

[Zeke1950]

I wonder if the 54 dislikes were named Jenny ?

[bleedinblues1]

It's a shame, but I suspect that by now Jenny's pushin' 60 and resembles Roseanne Barr.

[miro0458]

if you add all the view counts of the 9 different versions of the song, it equals 8675305!!

[yoyobabyyobabywatup]

yahoo

[anazooz5]

[dakanister23]

[vamtheanomaly]

This song should have been on Forrest Gump even though it may have been out of sync with the year of the movie...like maybe the end credits.

[johncfl]

@lincoln2ish That is the coolest thing I ever heard!

[AverageJoe3210]

What is the area code?



[Tokae]

This song rules my childhood and the crowd sucks there.

[WaterFlowingUG]

@Tokae I don't think there is a live crowd for this video.

[yruwatchingnow]

The quality of this Fridays tape is amazing. Do you have any additional uploads of this show? This is the best quality of this 30-year old show on YouTube. Thanks for posting.
