OMG...are you serious??? This song sucked when it came out and now it's 10X worse. And worse you're playing it on rp. Totally bummed and tuning out until you get back on track.

You can save money as the cash register when the cashier asks you for your discount card.  Say you don't have your card and ask to enter your phone number instead.  Then, key in your area code + 867-5309.  Turns out, a good number of folks apply for discount cards using this iconic number rather than their real number.

To wit, Tommy Tutone, the spawn of thousands of prank calls!

Bill, you're slipping. The correct segue from Jenny Don't Be Hasty is to a Tommy Tutone song other than this one. Going straight to this one is too "on the nose".

When I was in college, back in the day, Tommy played our campus. He decided to "rub elbows" with the students, and came out to a  party.

Everything went great, until he followed a couple of girls into the loo. He had been a bit of a "handful" already, and this was the "final straw".

Yep, he got his ass kicked. We still played his song at parties, though. It was/is a great song, even if its singer was (is?) a major prick.

Good times! {#Dance}{#War} {#Chillpill}

Funny. A little meat on the bone...a DJ in northern Jersey and his roommates went and got the number for their house and were getting 30-40 calls a day for Jenny. He's selling the number on eBay. Great tune.

I heard this number just came available on e-bay.  Seems a group got it cause they thought it would be funny but get 30-40 calls per day from people just trying it out.  Funny.

There is no need to sound like you are confessing some terrible crime!!  This is a fun tune, and it never fails to draw a chuckle out of me.  I always try to walk in the other guy's shoes, trying to imagine what it is in a particular song that could possibly justify all the bellyaching.  I never find an answer...  other than that they probably had a bad day, and want to ruin yours, too!  Just don't let them...  give them the raspberry instead!  {#Nyah}

There's never a reason to completely mute/turn off RP.  If a song comes on that annoys you (this one in my case), just switch over to the listener review channel.  There are tons of hidden gems on that feed.

Jennifer Juniper, by Donovan (Leitch). You've probably heard it on the oldies stations. Nice song, not on the level of Nat Cole perhaps, but still way classier than Tommy Tutone.

nice story, thanks.  Couldn't hear the entire song though, but the message is clear enough.

'Jenny's Song' Created For Dallas Zoo Elephant

The controversy over the Dallas Zoo elephant named Jenny has taken a musical turn. One songwriter is hoping her effort will help give Jenny a new home.

"There's nothing that really tells about an issue more than a song... more than music," explained singer Beverly Perry.
