Jenny doesn’t live here anymore. The 1980s one-hit wonder “867-5309/Jenny” was so relentlessly drilled into the heads of MTV viewers that even younger generations know the digits by heart - and that’s good news for cancer patients. Cancer Support Community has repurposed the catchy number as their national cancer helpline - CSC-867-5309,” the group said this week.
“Some songs don’t need lyrics on the screen,” the group Tommytutone said on Instagram. “Do you know Jenny’s number? The number you and your friends sing at karaoke is now the number for cancer support.”
The csc8675309.com website not only pitches the number but includes a couple of clever radio ads with Tommy Tutone’s hit tune playing in the background. “Hey, it’s Jenny,” one ad said. “Yeah, that Jenny. People call my number all the time to see who picks up - they were dared, karaoke, bachelor parties, road trips. And I love that you all know my number better than your own mother’s. But it’s time this number did some good.”
