N.J. disc jockey to part with Jenny's number

[Yoink 7]

WEEHAWKEN, N.J. – After five years fielding thousands of calls to one of rock 'n' roll's most celebrated phone numbers, disc jockey Spencer Potter is hanging up on Jenny.

Her seven digits are familiar to anyone who paid attention to pop music in the early 1980s: 867-5309, immortalized by the band Tommy Tutone.

Potter and his roommates requested the number on a lark for their home phone in northern New Jersey. They got it, along with about 30 to 40 calls a day.

The 28-year-old Potter says he's selling his business, A Blast Entertainment, and moving to New York. The business and the phone number are for sale on eBay, where the high bid was about $1,000 by Sunday morning.

When I lived in South Carolina my phone number was XXX-6969. I thought we might get a lot of confused people dailing for porn or hot sex chats. It didn't happen.

In a bathroom stall the other day, I read, "For a good time, call Benny 457-3709." Maybe it's the same lyricist trying to make a comeback?
