  • When Nutini was 18 and on tour he met a girl named Jenny. She was 24 and when she asked him how old he was, he said he was 23. Later on he told her his real age and she slapped him. They haven't seen each other since. >>>

  • Richel from Santa Ana, Caamazing song...i love each and every line of those lyrics - now THIS is music~
  • James from Torrance, United StatesI think it is funny because 'Jenny' is my school music teacher =P
    She really is but she denies ever going out with him but she only went on road with him as the pianoist in the band for a while...if she reads this she will kill me though =P
    Doubt she would read it.
