"867-5309/Jenny" is a song from Tommy Tutone's 1981 album Tommy Tutone 2. It was written by Alex Call and Jim Keller and produced by Tommy Tutone with Chuck Plotkin and Geoff Workman. The song tells the tale of Jenny and her unforgettable phone number, etching both into pop culture history. Despite various accounts of its origin—ranging from a real-life encounter to a fictional number created in Call's backyard—the truth leans towards a blend of imagination and happenstance. Call's inspiration sprouted under a plum tree, devoid of any real Jenny while Keller added the narrative of a number found on a bathroom wall, giving the song its relatable, yet mythical essence. Quickly rising in popularity, especially on the West Coast, the song hit its peak in April 1982, reaching number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping the Rock Top Tracks chart. Simultaneously, the song's popularity led to a series of prank calls involving dialing the number and asking for "Jenny," leading people to change their phone number.
