That’s not what Jenny is about. Jenny was a friend of the band that Jim Keller (song’s author) was dating. There’s lots of songs from back then that actually are creepy but I don’t think that’s one of them.
Also, a song about something bad is not an endorsment. For example Angel of Death by Slayer. Nirvana covered a Leadbelly song called Ain’t It a Shame which is about the narrator beating his wife. Not an endorsment of spousal abuse from one of music’s most famous feminists.
Sometimes s song is just telling a story, be it positive or negative.
As for Owner of a Lonely Heart, agreed. Annoying and over-played.
