8675309 Jenny Jenny · Tommy Tutone


[1982]
Wait, actual hits and memories! 

Crank this melon farmer up and you'll be chanting Jenny's phone number at the top of your lung in no time. 

Here's another one I haven't heard since I was ten. Only made it to number twenty two on the charts here. 8675309's got Canadian hit written all over it though and guess what? Surprise surprise it was a number two smash in Canadia that went on to become the the twentieth biggest selling single of 1982! Only kept off top spot by Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder's fucking awful Ebony & Ivory

If I ran a golden oldies radio station this is the type of thing I'd be programming. Tunes that were in the lower regions of the charts for one or two weeks as well as good tunes that just didn't quite make it instead of the same thirty songs they've been playing on repeat for forty years on Australia's airwaves.
