Dial 867-5309

Q.  Here is a fun question.  The song “Jenny, Jenny” sings the phone number of a girl. The number is 867-5309. The songwriter said the number just came to him when he was out sitting under a tree one sunny morning. Somehow this silly little song has become part of the zeitgeist. 

It is a prime number but is there more to it? 
Is there a light code in that particular number? 
Has the number been influential in some way?
Or is it just a clever and easily sung song?

A. I get this is a girl from his past.  When the songwriter was younger and less confident he had a crush on a girl named Jennifer, who was known as "Jenny" by her friends.  Even though he briefly talked to her in passing, he dreamed of striking up a real conversation. 

He looked up her name in the phone book, and found out where she lived and her number. He imagined calling her and having her reciprocate a real conversation, but never had the courage to dial the number.  
Years later he wrote this song as a dedication to that awkward childhood time.  I get the number was inspired out of her last name and not her real number.  It was a play on words.  

This scenario was something many kids could relate to, and the reason this song became so popular.  It came from the heart and a very vulnerable memory.


And that is all I have for this reading.  Thank you.  Love and light, Lynn

What a fun read on a great oldie song! that song also seemed to have inspired the horror movie Jennifer's Body, which was sort of a nightmare take on teen longing.
