Partying. Good Times. Coal Mines. Ambitious and successful party planner Jenny gives us a peak behind the colorful curtain of her fantastical and strategically managed party place. She talks with Douglas about her interesting themed rooms, her complex relationship with her daughter and son-in-law and what a party for Ms. Jenny would look like. It’s the Anthem of Jenny. Enjoy!

THE SONG: 867-5309/Jenny
867-5309/Jenny is a 1981 song written by Alex Call and Jim Keller (Co-founder and lead guitarist of Tommy Tutone) and performed by Tommy Tutone. It peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 1982. Despite Tommy Tutone’s lead singer, Tommy Heath and guitarist Jim Keller both saying at various times that Jenny was a real girl that they knew, co-writer Alex Call explained that the real origins of the song were all in his imagination…”I was just trying to write a 4 chord Rock song and it just kind of came out,” he told reporters, "There was no Jenny. The number? It came to me out of the ether." The song led to a fad of people dialing 867-5309 and made life very difficult for people who had that number. Many of them had to change it because they were flooded with prank calls, usually, kids asking for "Jenny." Link to Official Video 867-5309/Jenny Lyrics
