A lot of people have this number. But that doesn\u2019t stop the narrator from clinging to the possibility that someone named Jenny, Jenny from the wall, can help cure his loneliness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Jenny, Jenny, who can I turn to?<br>You give me something I can hold on to.<br>I know you\u2019ll think I\u2019m like the others before,<br>Who saw your name and number on the wall<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps there\u2019s hope for this lonesome dude. He\u2019s got the digits, and now he\u2019s desperate to make the connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Jenny, I\u2019ve got your number,<br>I need to make you mine.<br>Jenny, don\u2019t change your number<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the narrator, dreaming about Jenny won\u2019t do. He needs the real thing. But is Jenny real?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Jenny, Jenny, you\u2019re the girl for me,<br>Oh, you don\u2019t know me, but you make me so happy.<br>I tried to call you before, but I lost my nerve,<br>I tried my imagination, but I was disturbed<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who Is She?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the years, the band has suggested the song was inspired by a real woman. But co-writer Alex Call <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/09\/29\/arts\/music\/amplifier-phone-songs-rem-blondie.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">confessed<\/a> \u201cJenny\u201d was indeed made up. \u201cIt makes a better story but it\u2019s not true,\u201d he said. \u201cThat sounds a lot better than \u2018I made it up under a plum tree in my backyard.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Too bad for all the radio listeners in the 80s who anxiously dialed 867-5309 hoping this girl would pick up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I got it, I got it,<br>For a good time, for a good time call<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Boss Borrows a Riff<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than its famous phone number, \u201c867-5309\/Jenny\u201d also has a killer riff.
