"867-5309/Jenny" by Bracket

 


Forestville, California melodic hardcore band Bracket cover 1981 new wave hit "867-5309/Jenny," originally by Tommy Tutone.

The song will forever be remembered as the ditty that launched a million trillion prank phone calls, prompting Lorene Burns of Brewton, Alabama to want to "get ahold of Tommy Tutone's neck and choke him," according to this article from the Lakeland, Florida Ledger in May of 1982.
