So I just watched the original video and after it finished, I scrolled down to find another video to watch and saw this one. I thought yeah got to check that out. It did not disappoint. Well done. I think it would have been a great response video even in the 80s. I was 10 in '81 and lived on MTV videos. I'd guess as more people watch or re-watch the original they'll find yours as I did. Congrats. :)
@@FirebirdTransAm1 thank you - it was fun making it. The entire project being a “first” for me and I’m grateful to all those amazing musicians, video team and our friends in #MusicCity who thought it was worth their talent to contribute. Here’s a little storytelling back stage: ua-cam.com/video/y6jTMiRj_8s/v-deo.html
@ I did try reaching out to the lead through a mutual acquaintance, and to the original co-author/band member (Jim Keller) directly. Funny story, a couple weeks after I wrote the "new" lyrics, Jim was playing at a dive bar 2 miles from my house here in Nashville. I introduced myself during a break (Hi, I'm Jenny.) His response, in jest: "No Jennys allowed in the building." Apparently we've been giving him a hard time for decades now. It would have been a blast to collab with original band members, though I'll admit I took each step in this process kicking 'n screamin' - it was so outside my comfort zone. Singing in the shower wasn't even something I enjoyed! Now I'm telling everybody to go get voice lessons.
So fun! BUT.....did anyone else notice the dude coming out of the stall, running his hands through his hair, then left? HE DIDN'T WASH HIS HANDS!!! AND HE WORKS IN A KITCHEN!!
Actually, I rather imagined that, in the style of MAD magazine, when you called the number you got a big burly 250 pound truck driver instead of Jenny.
When my wife and I met in 1985; me from Atlanta; she from Brussels, my best mixtape (remember those?) had "Jenny" leading it off; hers had Kim Wilde's "26580". All the numbers must have meant something - it's all worked out since then. Yesterday I forwarded this link to our kids, "finally - an answer!".
It took 43 years for her to answer. OG Jenny from 81'. Why does seeing Jenny in that cheerleading uniform make me think of Toni Basil's Mickey! Yes, admittedly we all called that number, at least once. All wanted to know was, is Jenny Stacey's mom and Jessie's girl?.. Keller is supposed to be going back int the studio in 24. This would be a great addition to that TT album!
Wow ! While I never have and never would call a number written on the wall , if I had known how hot you are Jenny , I might have broken my own rule ! Great video guys ! I’ve been singing that song since it came out , now I have the second verse . Maybe if I leave my number on ……….. never mind .
Great response and a long time a comin...So I wonder if that was the real Jenny from that infamous song or a singer that is indirectly empowering the OG Jenny? Either way, that was brilliant! Though I loved the song, I felt so bad for not only Jenny who probably got a lot of calls from horny males, but for all the other people who were unfortunate to have had that number since there wasn't an area code in the song. I read that the phone company finally took that phone number out of service and issue new numbers to all who were affected. Thanks Tommy Tutone, Not! Anyway, good job Jenny, absolutely brilliant!
DUH!!! That obviously was the REAL Jenny who finally had enough of getting a lot of unsolicited calls from horny males. Why would any other Jenny insert herself into this morass of misogyny, toxic masculinity, and wrong numbers?
Oh my gawd! This is absolutely brilliant and so wicked bad @ss. And let's not forget the impeccable timing, with misogyny is trying to take over this country. How very Gen X & without being cringe
I like the idea of a response . . . I hate the actual effort . . . or lack of. Write something original, don't just reuse the old tune. And a better singer wouldn't hurt either. Though, I do like that Richard Simmons is playing the drums. Perfect example of how to do it . . . Neil Young wrote Southern Man. Lynyrd Skynyrd put a response in Sweet Home Alabama. It's a fun part of music history. Your effort just relegates you to the forgotten.
I remember calling the number in the 2 (then) area codes in Central Illinois back in the day, I was a dumb kid in the '80s and one of them rang a police chief at home. I think it was 217 in Springfield, but alcohol WAS involved...
I thought it sounded alright and comparable to Tom Teuton's song - but I now feel it is bad taste to put on such an unkind and derogatory reply to a good song. The standoffish mentalities of women of that kind are just not cool!
If I want to hear an ageing, tone deaf, woke cover of this classic with a bearded bun-boy playing guitar I will wait for the weird Al Yankovich version. Pass.
Started out great, I was really loving it until the feminist wrap that took it from being a fun good time song to being preachy and woke. Why couldn't this have just been a fun response to the 80's hit? Overall you did an amazing job on the song.
Dude, that's the point of the whole song. She didn't write her name on the wall - some a-hole did it to harass her, and now some other a-hole is calling her fantasizing her into some sexual object of his own projection. She's all hers and not going to change her number and is telling him off for being such a sexist a-hole. There's nothing remotely flattering about his call, from a number some other jerk posted on a men's room wall.
@@UkeCan1 Yeah man! Womyn need to empower themselves to take back their numbers from the toxic masculinity of the patriarchy in order to create safe spaces and hold space for all the oppressed Womyn, persons with a uterus, berthing persons, and chest feeders.
LMAO ! Great Comeback !! as a Mixer, the quality of this recording is AWESOME ! Hats Off to EVERYONE involved in making this..
So glad I found this clever and well done! Excellent. That's entertainment!
Funny and clever!

@@watchmegojennyGreat Jenny! Was any thought given to seeing if Tommy Tutone would play guitar and sing backup?

Good job and the mic drop.
It was fun to watch and looks like it fun to make. Bravo Jenny and Mark 👏!
Love it, great tune, funny and a serious response. I felt bad for people who had that phone number.
You rock, Jenny! Thank you for taking back this song for yourself and us. 🔥
Love it! I love everything about it!
Good to.hear her side of the story . The 80s rocked. Thx jenny 🎙
This has been a long time coming and it was worth the freakin' wait!
So fun! BUT.....did anyone else notice the dude coming out of the stall, running his hands through his hair, then left? HE DIDN'T WASH HIS HANDS!!! AND HE WORKS IN A KITCHEN!!
Wiped his jiz through his hair like gel and then went back to make you mashed taters and gravy. Hope nothing fell out of his hair into your potatoes.
@@NotMe-st8qc That ALMOST put me off potatoes....lol
I'd personally suggest avoiding that restaurant, but thankfully Jenny clearly had no interest! 🙂 Smart woman...with a fantastic sense of humor too.
Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode at the Italian restaurant...
He has a filthy mind and filthy hands.
I remember loving Jenny 867-5309 when it came out. This is a very fitting response and well worth the wait. Rock on Jenny!
my new favorite video, just put it on a loop and let it goooo.........
Awesome!!!
Dang Jenny!! You ROCK. Love the Song...music and meaning!! David Doyle from the Bowling Green office of EnSafe.
Jenny, David here introduced me to you on here. YOU ROCK. SO CLEVER AND I LOVE IT> THANK YOU FROM THE WOMEN OF THE WORLD>
Did the gentleman, who exited the stall at the start of the video, wash his hands? Great video and song! Happy New Year 2025.
It appears he did not.
Love it!
This is awesome, and beautiful! Wow! :)
Needed this today~Gen X
Why is this strangely awesome?!
I approve, would also welcome a harder kicking more rocking guitar oriented rift up punkish version
This is so good it gives me the goosebumps! 😁😁
Love this! Well done Jenny! 🥳🤩🙌🏼
This is absolutely brilliant.
Thanks for your side...great job.
Good job Jenny! I have waited decades to hear from you!!
OK this didn't happen to resolve anything but more jiberish but catchy tune,, Alice DARGA what are you doing and why you dodgy,, 😂❤❤❤
That's the number I use when a store asks me for my number! They say which one are you and I say, "Pick any Jenny". Thanks Tommy Tutone.
Love this! Ignore the negativity.
I think having fun mocking the negativity is the whole point!
Thank you! Class of '81!
It's neat to hear the "Other Side"! (Oh, you look fantastic!)
Fantastic!!!!💕🔥
Love it
Awesome!
Actually, I rather imagined that, in the style of MAD magazine, when you called the number you got a big burly 250 pound truck driver instead of Jenny.
Yikes man. Girls are allowed to say no.
So fun! 💜
Bassist and Employee Who Doesn't Wash Hands Before Returning to Work: Jason Reed
Yes! He was/is amazing as both! I’ve got a new version with corrected credits coming soon with Jason Reed properly identified!
Jenny the next day, "Oh wait, wait, wait, I remember now. I had a little too much to drink, and wrote my number on the wall. Damn!"
I like it alot

I love the feminine empowerment of this song. It's beautiful alchemy. The energy and passion of this video is top notch too.

Finally she answers. Tommy's been asking about you,Jenny.
Inventive, but Tommy Tutone didn't have much at least leave them this.
My favorite song of the band is "Cheap Date".
crazy cat lady🤣
I wish! I don't have a cat! 😹
I called that number a few times. Jenny never answered. Nice take off cover video
Trust me, nobody wants a piece of that if you did show up from someone calling you.
,...the ' Bass Player ' ,..( must ) be... " ENGLISH ",...he didn't wash his hands after using the toilet....😅😅😊
The time I called it
Concept, 10
Execution, 4

It's legit.

Lol! Brilliant sarcastic satire!
It's actually Tommy Tutone
Jenny has standards.
Looks like Angel really did say no. (rimshot)
Jenny , Jenny ! I finally figured it out ! You look like Susan Sarandon’s twin sister . Which is to say I think you’re beautiful ! 😻
Sorry this sucks. Especially the rap. Nice try but swing and a miss.
If I want to hear an ageing, tone deaf, woke cover of this classic with a bearded bun-boy playing guitar I will wait for the weird Al Yankovich version. Pass.
this is so poorly written
Stupid and unnecessary.

@@UkeCan1 okay Bro!
@ Bro? 🤣🤣🤣
GAY.
Jenny, every time I go to a store where I don't have a membership, I use your number for the discounts. I hope you don't mind.
