Yes. '59. I was there and even had the hair. Seems like a few years ago. I like his I need a lover, a little better. Did you ever hear Debora Harry's, "Sweet and Low"? WHO didn't like Blondie??? She really got screwed with that one; nobody has hear it.
@@Brenda-ef9tlI’m 42 and I remember where I was the first time I heard it…it was about 2 hours ago, at the whole foods in Covington, La. I had never heard it before, but as it played the entire vibe of the store changed. I saw all ages all colors listening, enjoying it. It’s sad how bad music is these days and how much better it could be.
Me, too. I adore this song. I used to break format and play this at night on classic rock radio. Never got fired, or caught; not for THIS, anyway! The listeners loved it. So do I.
He did get to sing this song at that year's Grammy's though --- back then, it was a really big thing to do for a new artist --- before it became political! And I'll never forget it, because I prefer Soul/R&B and but I did say, "This white boy can sing, and he's got some soul too!" Didn't know at the time that he wrote all his own stuff too! #datboybad Thank me later --- here you go: th-cam.com/video/9CHvDPRWgJ4/w-d-xo.html
I think this is John's best song, but almost nobody seems to know it! Guess it's one of the few that doesn't get played on classic rock radio stations.
mary carter I'm not knucklehead02, but I'm guessing he might feel that way just because some of JCM's hit songs are played a lot (i.e, Small Town, Jack and Diane) and might've lost some of their charm? I like almost all his music myself, Hurts So Good is still my fave.
Was at my Dr's office was headed back for blood work and this song came on their system. I immediately got chills and I made the poor tech wait till I could remember who it was (I'm 67). As soon as I left thew office I pulled it up and have been playing it since I left. My late husband bought me all his albums/cd's when he found out how much I love his music. Now it's time to go onto pandora. Who would have ever thought 80's music would become office background music? So grateful for the reminder.
Beautiful story. I am 66 seem to be 67 and John Mellencamp melts my heart. He is such an incredible singer and his voice is his instrument. Help said he's such an activist and artist in general. Absolutely love him. Thanks for sharing
What a great homage to our horny teenager years. JMC has a way with words and nostalgia in his songs that is so sweet and innocent. Makes you long for those days again when you listen to his music. This has always been my favorite song by him. Idk why it never was popular or mainstream. This hits so much more for me than Jack and Diane.
This is the only song I liked by him. Unlike his other songs it has a lot of heartfelt emotion to it. Hall and Oates "Wait For Me" is another one like that.
This song makes me want to be a teenager in the 80’s, sitting in a Firebird in a field, on a first date with your best friend. You both knew you’ve liked each other since the beginning of your friendship, but this song will give you the courage to make that next move.
Great song! Brings back our younger years. At nearly 50, I’m still listening to and loving Johns Mellancamps 80s music. The good old days of falling in and out of love.
Oh no I'm sure Mark was great but those powder/baby blue Camaros are a culmination of everything that was wrong with the 70's and 80's! Well it might not be quite that bad ,but...
Hey, I'm from Philadelphia and I've always thought of John Cougar Mellencamp as the Midwest Springsteen, lol.... nice to see someone else thinks it too 👌😉
Probably in my top 5 Mellencamp songs..Reminds me of teenage years when everything is new and sweet and your first dance to your first kiss and first love is so much bigger than anything you seem to be doing 30 years later.Great sentimental feel to this..Sam Cooks playing on the radio..luv this song
Lord, I believe I was a Sophomore in high school when this came out. I had finally overcome my fear of girls, and we were cruising down-town. I had my sweetie with me and the night just disappeared way too fast! I went quiet when this song came on the radio and she asked me what the matter was. I said listen to the song... He's singing exactly how I feel right now. Man, the memories that get tied to a song...
I was also a sophomore. I saw JM perform this on American Bandstand, fell in love with it & immediately went & bought the 8 track. My group of friends I ran with hated it but within a week loved it & we were cruising with the windows down & my 8 track cranked! I have been a fan since that first day!
Wow, John Mellencamp was really young here! I had to look very close to recognize him. My memory of his face was a few years later. Great song! Good memories.
❤ JOHN "COUGAR!" LOL!! -COUGAR MELLANCAMP- So long ago!! What "MEMORIES!!!"🤣 Sure do "MISS!!" The 80's!!😢John has played a "HUGE!" part of my "YOUTH!!"80's "ROCKED!!!" 🎸 🌆 🍷 Della R. 💋 🤗
I'm a huge Mellencamp fan! I remember this song well!!! Spring 1981 - this was the first hit song I heard from him. Still love this song after all these years!
A song of teenage innocence. Brings back memories...early 80's parking on some back woods country road. Hearts racing, mind is swirling and...well you know the rest.
This song reminds me of the love of my life and there isn't a single moment that doesn't go by in a day when I'm not thinking of her. She's the only reason why my heart still has a pulse.
Best song of his. Love the reference to James Brown and the Famous Flames in the video. I saw Mellencamp once and he did a real-life split. I couldn't believe it. He had to be about 40 at the time.
@Greg Hubbard He clearly states that jcm is still with us. He's just saying that we should appreciate them while they're here because like Tom we'll all be gone relatively soon. Perhaps you should check into a rehab with inference and possibly even anger management classes! With their help and if you are willing to dedicate yourself to the curriculum you can possibly still learn to read , comprehend and retain the required information to be able to talk to the grown ups....
It's my favorite song. In the early 2 thousand's I played a gig in a lowell Michigan bar by the river were the lowell show boat was, and a young guy possibly not even born when this song came out thanked me for playing it. He told me it's his favorite song to. I even do the sax solo note for note on guitar. I love this song.
Born raised in America John Mellencamp taught me what it was like to be American. Thank you I hope to see you live someday and tell you how grateful I am
Actually. - thus us when he was known as "John Cougar". I recall a guy in my dorm back in 1979/80 having this album and this being the song that seemed to be the "hit". I had no idea who John Cougar was - the song still sounds fresh and awesome.
Gotta admit I don't like much of his music but this song has grown and grown on me and I now love it. The older I get the more random stuff I like. I'm strangely alright with this...
2:43 that feeling when you accidentally got the saxophone they were going to use for the video stuck in your throat so now you gotta sing in saxophone for the video. Relatable, am i right. 😉
A Indiana Man I met him on Kirkwood Ave in Bloomington Indiana before he became famous He use to play and sing down where all the hippies hung out really a nice guy.
That is a shame that you hear bad stuff about him. around 14 years ago I went with a friend from ohio to Indiana for a child's benefit at a small bar. the boy had cancer. I can't even remember the name of the map dot of a town at the moment. John Mellencamp walked in and started playing a set for the benefit. no one knew him. no one asked him. he heard about it and showed up, played and donated. he played until they were shutting down. very nice guy and gained a fan out of me for life that day.
The press loves to print negative stuff about great men like Johnny Cougar like they did Michael Jackson. I've met Mellencamp on more than one occasion hehe's top notch
I remember this song . My girlfriend and i would drive all night around town and country side in a 1977 Plymouth cordobra black with red velour interior . Her me hangout all nght . Play this song.
Omg, where has the time gone??? What good memories this sound gives me!!!!!!! I remember when it was John cougar. Lol. Great song and I've always thought he was sexy as f##k!!!! Good song and good times!!
I love this song!! And, you don't hear it much..I say that alot..it just reminds of..a lazy Sunday afternoon..& a Sunday family dinner..or sitting on the porch..know, it has nothing to do with the song. Just the mellow (ness) of it..soft flow..music 🎶 I'm 47 years old 🎤 -it's a feel good song..
It doesn't matter what era I see him play if it's not or then ,because I was probably fifteen when he first hit the music scene, I fell in love with him the first time I saw him. This man's voice gives me goosebumps and whenever I see his videos, whether it's then or now, I'm just mesmerized, It's like nothing else is going on around me every time. I wanted so desperately to go see him and Cleveland but the tickets are so much. Don't get me wrong if I had the money I'd be there, front and center
I am 66 and I love John Mellencamp. I play his cd's frequently! I love this song too. He's got the whole pkg.! He is very easy on the eyes and very, very talented! LOVE HIM!
When I saw Mellencamp on the Scarecrow tour he did this with him on guitar, the guitar player on mandolin and Lisa Germano playing fiddle. It was just those three at the front of the stage with one light on them. The song was transformed from a top 40 hot to a haunting slow country honk tune. It was one of the most beautiful moments of the countless shows I've seen over the years. Sadly I can't find this version anywhere.
It’s so crazy because he’s so talented, but I never knew he ended up in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame till recently. Every song is a hit! Love him! 0:480:49
Hey anybody else 50 and just realize how much this artist was a part of our lives growing up
He was truly my favorite artist.
Absolutely he is part of the soundtrack of my life, since the first time I heard "I need a lover".
I'm 29 but yea I do
yes he was
I'm 62 and yes John was a huge part of growing up.
Still love his music
Anyone else ever wish we could go back to the 80’s?
Even better, the 70's. What a time to be alive!

60 yr old here and still listening. It doesn't get any better than Mellencamp, Segar, Fleetwood Mac, Ann and Nancy Wilson, Nicks.....too many to list
Can't believe this never made it to #1. It's one of my all time favorites!
There are songs that don't need to be on a list to be No 1. I'ts a hit for us.
Me, too. I adore this song. I used to break format and play this at night on classic rock radio. Never got fired, or caught; not for THIS, anyway! The listeners loved it. So do I.

Summer nights in the early 80s as a teenage boy. Fell in love a dozen times…lol. This song takes me back.
Same here man .
I'm pushing 60, and I still fall in love a dozen times a week.
Me too. Fumbling around with my girl in the back of a Buick
Amen. Those were great times!
Me too! I remember getting my cock sucked to this song.
My dad passed away we used to jam to this song and hang out for holidays! It brought me here! I miss u dad
Was just thinking how nice it would be to go out to the garage and dance with my Dad again.
I think this is John's best song, but almost nobody seems to know it! Guess it's one of the few that doesn't get played on classic rock radio stations.
+JPMcFly1985Two 95% of classic rock radio stations are canned thanks to clear channel and I heart radio
Clear Channel IS I Heart Radio. Most of our stations are owned by Townhouse Media or Cumulus.
I'd have to agree, I love this song and like maybe 1 other, but really can't stand much of his "popular" music.

yer right it is his best song but cherry bomb is awsome : )~
My fave song of John’s! Even more so than all his other hits of the 80s! Just love the sound and feel of this one.
My favorite too. Rain on the Scarecrow is my 2nd favorite!

I had a 1979 Firebird, black with a red interior. This song played on my cassette deck often on warm summer nights and gave me courage indeed.
❤️
It was the absolute best time to be a teenager....man I wish I had known how special it was at the time. I would do ANYTHING to go back.
I did that. Firebird in a field. Almost brought tears when I read that. I miss those days.
I had a 72 Ford Torino. Such a great song. My favorite from John.
I was 23 when this song was released. 43 years later and I am still in love with this song.
How can John Mellencamp say he doesn't have any cool lines...when he has written so many? Best song ever!! Love the mandolin.
Mary Wishne you must have a picture of you in front of them when he's writing cuz they are so beautiful these songs so are you
It is a mandolin. Thought so.
we would try to come up with Traveling Wilburys act 2 (cool all-stars of ROCK). JCM was always included. The Boss. L. Buckingham? What do you think?

I grew up and still live in the Midwest; John Mellencamp was our Springsteen. This tune is still in my karaoke repitoire...

Nice tribute to James Brown with the cape-draping. I can see that as one of Mellencamp's major influences.
Crazy respect to the sheer number of foot stompin hits this man has!

I’m lovin’ him so much lately, don’t know why I didn’t when I was younger. This song is definitely waking something up in me.
This is one of my favorite songs also Pink House , you gotta love that gravel voice and homemade dance moves 😅
This is from when he was still known as John Cougar.He wrote a lot of good songs.
He's my favorite he's from Indiana just like I am he has long hair like I used to have I have all of his albums
I am 66 and I love John Mellencamp. I play his cd's frequently! I love this song too. He's got the whole pkg.! He is very easy on the eyes and very, very talented! LOVE HIM!
I listen to this and other 80s era tunes driving in my truck. Truck is from the 80s too.
This will always be my favorite song of Johns.
Me too !
All the rhythm of the President's Secret Service detail. 😂
2023 and STILL a must Friday night song
This is one of his best sings for me. I love video where they're wearing pink tuxedos lol.
To the future generation, do this in your school talent show. Become legend.
I love this comment so much
When I saw Mellencamp on the Scarecrow tour he did this with him on guitar, the guitar player on mandolin and Lisa Germano playing fiddle. It was just those three at the front of the stage with one light on them. The song was transformed from a top 40 hot to a haunting slow country honk tune. It was one of the most beautiful moments of the countless shows I've seen over the years. Sadly I can't find this version anywhere.
That is some good shit! 80's were the best! Glad I grew up in the greatest decade.
..15 years old in 1981..memories forever with this song ❤ ..Santiago de Chile 🇨🇱🎶🎵
It’s so crazy because he’s so talented, but I never knew he ended up in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame till recently. Every song is a hit! Love him! 0:48 0:49
Everyone’s mentioning they’re in their late 50s and love this, and I can’t find how to relate here at 22 😂
Find a woman in her 50's you'll get it
Had the best time of my life listing to this song here's to the 80s
Amen
