The Resume

Tommy Tutone are Tommy Heath (pictured) and Jim Keller
Best known for the single '867-5309/Jenny'

Why they might be annoying:

They are a one-hit wonder.
In the song, Heath managed to divide the word 'nine' into six syllables.
Some men name their dangling body parts after the band (Tommy Two-Tone).
People with the unfortunate same-digit phone number had their phones ringing away by people looking for 'Jenny.'

Why they might not be annoying:

Tommy Heath, the lead singer and the writer for the single, says that he holds no grudge towards the real Jenny.
Heath is presently a computer consultant.
Today, phone companies are still hesitant to issue the telephone number 867-5309.
