1* IAmNotShazam: Tommy Tutone is a band, not a solo artist.
2* MisattributedSong: It's sometimes commonly believed that Music/RickSpringfield or Music/HueyLewisAndTheNews performed "867-5309/Jenny".
3* OvershadowedByControversy: "867-5309/Jenny" became best known for having wreaked havoc on all the poor souls who actually had that phone number, enduring endless prank calls until many asked to have it changed.
4* RefrainFromAssuming: Their most popular song is titled "867-5309/Jenny", not "867-5309".
5* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: All phone numbers longer than three digits dialed in the United States now ''must'' include the area code when dialing, even in states that only have one area code, meaning that it's no longer possible to dial ''just'' 867-5309 hoping that Jenny answers.
