LINCOLN, R.I. (AP) - One-hit wonder Tommy Tutone made the phone number 8-6-7-5-3-0-9 famous in the band's 1982 hit single, which uses the digits over and over in its catchy refrain.
Now, two U.S. plumbing companies are battling over the right to use the number.
Callers won't reach the "Jenny" that Tutone sings about, but may find a decent plumber.
Two years ago, Gem Plumbing & Heating in Rhode Island trademarked the phone number from the early 1980s hit, which reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Gem acquired the number in Rhode Island when its original owner, Brown University, gave up 8-6-7-5-3-0-9 after growing weary of the constant prank calls.
Gem's number works in the 401 area code in Rhode Island and the 617 area code in southern Massachusetts.
Tommy (Tutone) Heath told The Boston Globe that he'd prefer if neither company used the number.
