Dave has publicly admitted that this song is really about nothing.
As far as the title goes, he named it this because his sister always begged him to play it, it never had a title but since she begged so much, he named it "the song that Jane likes" not because she said it was a good song, she just always wanted him to play it.
Also this is the first song dave ever came up with. It's been long debated that "I'll back you up" was the first song ever written...but in actuallity Dave had the music for this song, but didnt have the lyrics...he then wrote and composed "I'll back you up" then came back and wrote lyrics for "TSTJL". "I'll back you up" gets the credit as the first song ever written simply because it was the first song fully completed.
