    "comment": "In 1982, the same year Tommy Tutone gave us \"Jenny (867-5309),\" The Time dialed in with another phone number song, this one funky as all get. The songs have very different storylines. In \"Jenny,\" the guy sees the phone number on a bathroom wall and takes his shot; in \"777-9311,\" The Time lead singer Morris Day gets right to the point, seeing a lovely lady and asking for her phone number, which see supplies. Looks like he's in for a good night.\n\nThe Time was created by Prince, who wrote the song along with Morris Day. Prince also produced the song and played all the instruments, although the drum machine - a Linn LM-1 - was programmed by David Garibaldi, drummer for Tower Of Power, according to Jesse Johnson of The Time, who also cleared up the origin of the phone number in a Facebook post. It was the home phone number of Dez Dickerson, a guitarist in Prince's band. As you can imagine, his phone started ringing after the song was released. \"he was very pi--ed at us all,\" says Johnson.\n\nhttps://www.songfacts.com/facts/the-time/777-9311",
