Wikipedia:"Jane Says" is a song by alternative rock group Jane's Addiction. It was first released in live format on the group's 1987 live debut album, Jane's Addiction. It was re-recorded in the studio for their first studio album, Nothing's Shocking. Another live version appears on the band's 1997 rarities compilation Kettle Whistle.
The title refers to one of the lead singer Perry Farrell's ex-housemates, Jane Bainter, who was a heroin addict. By day, she works in an office, and, at night, she uses. The song carries drug references such as "kick" (stop using).[citation needed]
"Jane Says" makes extensive use of steel drums. Along with "Been Caught Stealing," it is one of Jane's Addiction's most famous songs. The song mostly follows a simple G - A chord progression.
