Music Monday: 867-5309/Jenny
Happy Monday, everyone! I know that some kids out there have already started school. Here, we’ve got just two days left before we make that massive annual routine shift. While I’m in a little bit of a panic over the whole thing (my kid, meanwhile, is totally fine and ready to start high school), I’m ready to make the most of our last couple of days.
As we kick off another walking week, this week’s song features one of the most famous phone numbers for GenXers like me: Jenny’s. This one came on the local ’80s station the other day, and I told my daughter the story of that one time, in the ’90s, when my friend paged me with this number, and I didn’t realize it until I’d made the call and was told that the number was no longer in service. Oops. Then, a couple of days later, I may have suggested adding it to the list of phone numbers that we had to submit for the volleyball team’s fundraiser. (Just for the record: I did not.)
But not only is this song a classic, but if you play it during a quick Walking Snack, you’ll end up adding more than 500 steps to your daily total by the time you finish!
