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!

And Jani was a good writer?
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.

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

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.

Certainly not Tommy Lee's pennis. Which Jani soon found out, if not before.

This is what happens when I try to crack a dumb joke!

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.

Discus.
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).

It was always Ragu jar.

Is that any worse than Girls, Girls, Girls, Just Like Paradise, Love In An Elevator, Bad Medicine or Pour Some Sugar On Me?

No, it’s really not

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