Lyrics for 27 Jennifers as interpreted by tallgrl45

27 Jennifers Lyrics
I went to school with 27 Jennifers
16 Jenns, 10 Jennies, and then there was her

It's the sweet shine of,
Yeah, force of divine love
The blessed arrival of you

You might be the one that I've been seeking for
You might be the strange delightful
You might be the girly who shall end all girls
You might be the sweet unspiteful

I rode the bus with 27 Jennifers
15 Jenns, 10 Jennies disapproved of her

Yeah, get from my sight, man,
Gladness is a blight, and
Happiness stinks up the room

first...
16 Jenns + 10 Jennies + 1 her = 27

then later...
15 Jenns + 10 Jennies + 1 her = 26??

haha I'm lost. and is there any reason it's 27?

the line is "15 jenns, 10 jennies disapproved of her", obviously hes in love with one of the jennifers or something, and i dont think theres any reason its 27

I was never good at math... but i think somethings a little "fishy" here...

15 Jenns, 10 Jennies disapproved of her = 25... oh well its Doughty, you dont question his amazingness..

its probably 27 just because 27 is weird number. google it, the number 27 pops up everywhere. more weird math: if you add the numbers from 2 to 7, it equals 27.

I'm a Jennifer and I went to school with a bunch and when I heard this song I just started laughing. Now it's sort of my theme song :P

here's my take - he went to school with 27, and 25 disapproved of her, that leaves just her and one other "Jenn", who actually liked her so much that she stole her away. the last 3 lines sum it up beautifully. classic doughty.

In a recent radio interview, Doughty said that growing up it SEEMED like there were 27 Jennifers in his class. 20 years ago, Jennifer was the most popular girl's name. 27 is just a random number that means "a lot." He's just being playful with all the math.

In all honesty I love Doughty, his music is essential in this day and age, though his lyrics are a confusion to
descipher. I feel that whatever the literal meaning for the song is, the deeper hidden message seems to be if
you find someone who catches your eye amongst the crowd of the plain sheep, you should not care how the populis
feels about him/her
because if you have found love then everyone else can piss off.
