Yup, I agree, You bought a bit of the headache on yourself. However any request for a number should be with, 867-5309.

Sadly enough, not only did I know this, I STILL have the cassette with the song.

Hey...
Jenny, Jenny who can I turn to
You give me something I can hold on to
I know you'll think I'm like the others before
Who saw your name and number on the wall
Jenny I've got your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny don't change your number
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)

Jenny, Jenny you're the girl for me
You don't know me but you make me so happy
I tried to call you before
But I lost my nerve
I tried my imagination
But I was disturbed

Jenny I've got your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny don't change your number
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)

I got it (I got it), I got it
I got your number on the wall
I got it (I got it), I got it
For a good time call

Jenny don't change your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny I've got your number
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)

Hey...
Jenny don't change your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny I call your number
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)

Jenny, Jenny who can I turn to
For the price of a dime
I can always turn to you
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)

My brothers favorite song for forever. He even drove about 4 hours, one way, to Disneyland to hear it live.

A couple of weeks ago someone tried to auction the number off on Ebay.....Sad to hear about the cassette dude. Move into the 20th century.

I don't think they had cassettes in the 19th century. At least, I don't remember any.

But somehow, I am sorry I asked.

But now you know, like many others, Jenny's phone number.

And you started it !
Was that a 60's song that I may have on my 8-track ?

Actually the song was in the 80s. Eight-track was gone by then (when the song came out).

And, you would of course, give the name "Tommy Tutone".

I'm kinda partial to BR549.

Kind of a spinoff here: Do you guys ever mention the rule to the players or coaches, prior to the play? I've always discussed it with my partner(s) when we have a situation like the one in the OP, but I've never mentioned anything to the players or coaches. Would that help the situation or make things worse by getting involved in the strategy?
