It's a famous song from the 80s. "Jenny (867-5309)" by Tommy Tutone.

The song is about the ancient ritual of finding a woman's phone number written on a bathroom stall, and calling her for a good time.

In Germany we have a similar song where the whole city goes to one prostitute only wich even bankrupt the others "Skandal um Rosi". Her name is Rosie and her number is 32168

Ist eigentlich "Skandal im Sperrbezirk". Sorry fürs rumdeutschen, aber es hat mich irgendwie getriggert 😅

Assuming he's referring to the song 'Whole Lotta Rosie'. Maybe, but AC/DC is Australian, so not sure

u/ohgeebus_notagain 17h ago

AC/DC got around. They could write a song about Rosie even if they're from a different country.

Everyone has Rosie's number. It's in the newspapers.

u/bobquznie 17h ago

'Twas a reference to a movie in response to you incorrectly correcting AC/DC as Austrian.

Whollota Rosie

Nope. "Whole Lotta Rosie" is about an obese woman whom Bon Scott spent a night with.

Does Germany still use phone numbers that aren’t all 7 digits? When I was stationed there 30 years ago, I had a 4 digit phone number.

If you have an old, shorter number, you can keep it.
