Music video[edit]
The music video for "Private Number" opens with someone dialing a telephone number in a phone booth. The Jets are then seen singing in an alley, and in front of an empty phone booth. At the end of the video, a piece of paper tumbles by, with a phone number written on it: 612-420-3226. For some time after this video was released, fans could call the "private number" and listen to pre-recorded messages from members of the Jets; lucky callers could even speak live to members.
