Guy eating a Milky Way on the lonesome highway

While I'm unwilling to believe that there is a human being alive that does't know this song, I feel that same way about many songs that people ask about.. so I'll go ahead and post it in case someone's looking.
It's the ad where the guy is driving in a convertible, enjoying his tasty Milky Way, and singing (badly) along with the radio, then he stops and an intersection in the middle of nowhere..
So anyhoo, the song is "867-5309 (Jenny)" by Tommy Tutone.

I didn't know there were so many covers of that song.

 

[The Lost Boy]

The best cover is the Less Than Jake version.

And.. how funny is this.. they (well, HE.. the band broke up but Tommy Heath is still using the band name) actually did an album a few years back that featured a "sequel" to "867-5309 (Jenny)" called "Jenny's Calling".. a la Lesley Gore's "It's My Party" and "Judy's Turn to Cry". :lol:

 

[The Lost Boy]

I don't get it...As I write this I am hearing that song on the TV in the background, and I remember that one hit wonder now.

I'm sending brain waves across the country.. :blink:
