Re: “32 Pennis in a Ragu Jar”
Is 'pennis' code for something??
It's good to be bad
It's the best time you'll ever have
What the hell is this ultra sad
Pray for your cool and work on that ass!

I'm pretty sure I saw one of those being thrown at the Olympics a few months ago.

The best who ever lived. And I would stand on the coffee table in Bob Dylan's living room and wag my finger at the old man and tell him so.And Jani was a good writer?
To wit:
I said hookers
And whores
And a teenage slut
On the bathroom floor
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
Oh yeah

Re: “32 Pennis in a Ragu Jar”
OK maybe that's not the best example of Jani's lyrics. Heaven, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Song & Dance Man, Bed of Roses, pretty much all of Dog Eat Dog are better examples.pieceofme wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2024 6:36 pmJani really was the John Lennon of the hair metal scenemetalmetalrdu wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2024 5:35 pmThe best who ever lived.

Certainly not Tommy Lee's pennis. Which Jani soon found out, if not before.Black Stuff wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2024 12:20 pm must be small pennis if there are 32 of them in the jar

Not even TenBenny would come up with something that unfunny.

32 small penises in a spaghetti sauce jar is Ok but I can’t put a vagina in a cereal box? That’s a double standard.
Anyway…back to our discussion. Stronger Now is also a great lyric and melody. Jani could sing like a bird. And he didn’t hate Cherry Pie. He just didn’t want his whole career to be defined by that one song.

Re: “32 Pennis in a Ragu Jar”
So, a halfway serious reply.
The “32 Pennies in a Ragu Jar” title first appeared on the 1996 The Best Of Warrant realease. This release also credits for the first time the DRFSR songs being written by all 5 members, where as the original DRFSR release said "All songs by Jani Lane" (later fixed on the remaster to include the other four members).
While that may have something to do with it, the DRFSR remaster still lists the song as "32 Pennies", so who knows.
What I do know is that Steven Sweet always reminded me of Michelle from "Full House", with Tommy Aldridge hair (although in the Jani Lane biopic he will be played Tom Everett Scott).

You spelled penis wrong. Sounds like a bizarre gay horror movie or something.
