The title "The Real Janelle" was inspired by a Born Against song written by Ben Weasel of Screeching Weasel.[6] The Born Against song and The Real Janelle reference Janelle Hessig, a former Bratmobile roadie and East Bay fanzine creator known for producing "Tales of Blarg" and "Desperate Times." The photo on the cover of the EP is of Hessig.[7]
