jOHNNY C, TOTAL Rock Star. Solid Rock & Roll, thanks jc
One great live performer everyone sang and danced!! You were tired and horse from singing and you always had a smile on your face
America in the 70s and 80s. Everybody fell in love back then
As we age we will appreciate John's lyrics and songs more and more..born in 63 ..his songs are my life story

"She calls me baby, she calls everybody baby" is unquestionably one of my favorite lyrics of all-time. Simple and evocative.

That's so funny, that's why I'm listening to it right now
Add the follow-up line, and it's pure gold.

Great music is timeless. And this is great music.

One of the most underrated singers/songwriters ever. You don't really think much about him, but when you look through his catalogue you see great song after great song, this one being a prime example.
Hell yeah!

steven bowles i worked with his daughter Michelle for real @ peanut shack in mall when it was there
Xavier Vega not that underrated, bro. He is in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame😀
This guy has real talent!
I grew up listening to this guy!! Very talented! I Love what he has contributed to music! Underrated for sure. His stuff is still relevant!!
John mellencamp is the best ever for me personally, that's my opinion!

"Sam Cooke playin' on the radio...". He knew what was up
JC Mellancamp doesnt get enough credit. Fantastic 80s music that í can still relate to at nesrly 50. Yes Í still punp up the völume when Í hear JC Mellancamp, Í still feel like dancing or cruising on the highway through the town.

Always loved this song and the video is great too.

John Mellencamp - Lonely Ol' Night 🌙 1985
Filmed in my hometown. The fun frolic was at IU’s Memorial Stadium. Sad they don’t do the yearly carnival anymore.
one of the best albums of the 80s for sure. its a must own.
For me, Mellencamp really captured the essence of the America Midwest and shaped it into musical form and this song is probably my favorite of lots great songs from him

"Scarecrow" is one of my favorite albums of the 80's. John has never been fully appreciated for the great songwriter that he is and Kenny Aronoff is one terrific drummer with a very distinctive style
indeed, drummer amazing.
Shane Anthony Kenny is on the Hired Guns film on Netflix. Very interesting cat-a rather manic mindset but a pure rock n roller.
Agreed. He deserves a Kennedy Center Honors Award soon!
Listened to it all day today....
Saw him years ago in Berks County, PA. Do you know the backup singer he had was with him at that time for 20, 25 years. Loved her voice. Used to know her name slips my mind at the moment. Just an awesome back-up over the years. Johnny, some knew I used to get into your music. When I was about to kick up some dirt, rip off some donuts. I would say its, " Johnny Time." Love you John. Thanks ! Thank you eighties groups. I mean it, Thank you John.
Takes me back to my high school days. Young, carefree, and not a worry in the world. It’s too bad we don’t recognize the specialness of a moment in time when it’s happening. I would love to go back and really appreciate the way it was back then.

Everything's moving so fast now no time to stop and check anything out too busy chasing that dollar sad
Nothing like a old get together 😜
@@michaelboone4254 It is sad but we, almost, have no choice. They sure have pulled security away from the working person.
@@Chev-pu5yo agreed
As I approach the end of my years on this rock, I look back at all the highlights. I have many. I could fill books with the amazing artists who invented brilliant things during my years here. Well, this song was one of them great moments. Even if few remember, this was gorgeous when it happened. I thank Mr Mellancamp for this moment. John should you read this, you affected my time here and I love you for that. You were and will always be wonderful. I will buy a ticket to see you in the afterlife, amigo.

The plastic nature of time. As you get older, the days go faster.
Exactly
Time flies brother
One of my favorite John Cougar songs. This one and Ain’t Even Done With The Night. They set the same mood🎸
Luvvvv aaint even done with the nite
claro que misturo aqui
Nothing 'glamorous' here (that we see in other then contemporary videos), just simple, friendly folk at a country fair/midway.....and that makes the video and song all the more compelling.
I'd give anything to go back... we were free,, large and in charge
I agree and now most of us are just large lol
The amazing thing about this song is that the lyrics are sad, but the music is upbeat. The combination is amazing.
Yes! Just like Springsteen's "Born in the USA", or The Doobie Brothers "What a Fool Believes". People think they're great pop ditties but once you really listen to the lyrics you understand the sadness underneath.

That guitar sound!!!!!!
John Mellencamp
25+ years ago, JCM & the band did a special VH1 from the backyard property of a contest winning homeowner on Grand Island, NY between Buffalo and Niagara Falls... my home town now. It was said back then it could be heard all over the island, which is not small, and that people were sneaking their way into the yard to catch some of the show.
Springsteen,,mellencamp and fogerty are the ipitomy of all american musicans
His #6 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 from late 1985
John Mellencamp
ok. im an Afo American female...and there is nothing i like better than John Cougars Mellencamp..i love his style...iv always wanted to see him live...man..the band is off the chain
Music knows no color..no race.
Thats what makes it so great.
Bands go to other countries..other cultures...the crowds sing along word for word...
The Scarecrow album is one of the all time great albums....
Hit after hit.
I love his songs ❤️
I got to see him live in about 2012. I LOVE a great deal of his music. But I think that night he was a little 'flat'...you know, not 'energized' enough. He went through the motions and playing, but he didn't seem to have the energy that night like his songs do. I' am a great fan and don't hold this against him at all. "Scarerow" was the LP that broke him thru for me. "Lonely Ol' Night" is on that great LP.
It’s a lonely ol night girl!
That's awesome! Come by and check my covers out. just put a couple of his up recently. 1 today. Love to hear your feedback. John & I share the same state. 50 miles apart & I've never met him. lmao one day though :-)
Kenny Aronoff is one kick-ass drummer!!!

One True American he can make you Happy or Sad ,listen
I drove that man many a mile back in the 90’s
CMT used to play this video of “Lonely Ol’ Night” by John Mellencamp on its program “Jammin’ Country”. I still enjoy this video and Mellencamp’s music of the heartland.
This video has 3, 141, 374 views and I'm pretty sure 141, 374 of those are from me. I just can't get enough of this song and beautiful accompanying imagery. This song literally brings a lump to my throat. When I was a teenager living in Calgary, Alberta, I had, and sadly missed, a chance to see John Cougar Mellencamp. One of life's regrets, I'm afraid. Nostalgia at its best.
🎶 Nobody told me shit was gonna work out this way..... 🎶
Amen, Johnny Cougar. AMEN.
Thanks for your sincere compliment and love, I’m not complete without you as my Fan 🌹🎻 I have you to be most thankful for 🎻🎻🌹
Great song! Great vid! The fair scenes remind me of my trips to the Delaware State Fair in Harrington (whose 2023 edition is going on as I type [I'm a lifelong East Coaster who's rarely crossed the Appalachians (blush)] ). Unfortunately I've been no closer to Indiana than CVG (Cincinnati/NorKY) Airport which is a few miles from the Hoosier State.
Love you John. Greetings from a longtime fan in Australia.
This vid is a piece of art. Every scene that flashes seems eerily familiar. It fits the song perfectly, too, that "lonely all night" sensation we've all felt. This period was Mellencamp's high point, when he could make you rock and think at the same time.
John Mellencamp
John got me through my 20s ... and 30s ... and 40s ... well you get it
John's music really takes you back!
I can't decide between Little Pink Houses and this song, but I lean towards this song more, every time I hear it and I hear it it! "She calls me Baby.....she calls everybody Baby. It's a lonely ol' night...but aint they all?" Doesn't get any better!!
I can't look away to post because i love looking back at how we used to look and all the old things. So Cool! :D

John, it’s awesome you replied in this forum. I saw you in Boston with John Fogerty in ‘05 and again at Tanglewood in the summer a few years ago. Both shows were high energy great performances by yourself and your band. I’m hoping you’ll come up this way again when life becomes normal so I can see you perform once again!

Still love John Melencamp. Grreat songs.
So lonesome 🖤
It's a sad,sad sad feeling to know we were all that young and carefree at one time.
When I look back, I am just so grateful to have been alive at that time and experienced all of the incredible music as it was coming out. MTV was relatively new and cool and instrumental in exposing people to a lot of music - more than any one radio station/format could have.
@@user-cg7dg7uv8f And, for me....it started with the song "Jack and Diane" which sounded alot different than anything being recorded at the time (where there were quite a few influences from synthesizer's to over produced walls of sound). He kept it simple and talks about how his record company was gonna drop him and didn't like the album "American Fool" because it didn't sound like all the top 40 hits being produced. He always liked a simpler composition with acoustic guitar.
@@jimbeam7160 - I have no idea why you responded to my comment - your comment has zero to do with what I was talking about. I was commenting on what an incredibly fertile era that was for great music of all kinds, and how a lot of it was introduced by MTV.
@@user-cg7dg7uv8f Mellencamp was all over MTV...yes?
Days turn to minutes and minutes to memories.
Johnny Cougar is the epitome of American rock and roll.
Yessss!¡¡ 😁
@John Mellencamp You're welcome!
Mellencamp's band was one of the tightest you'll ever hear. Classic.
Facts
Bob Seger too!
I was 8 years old when this album came out. I got it for my birthday after my dad asked me to my surprise what cassette I wanted. We listened to it all the way home that day. Every song on the album is such a good listen. One of my all time favorite albums.
I remember every song he did back when I was a kid every song you did took me back to that day
What's amazing about so much of John's music like this is that it doesn't sound like typical 1985 pop radio music (a lot of 50s rockabilly and country influences on albums starting with Scarecrow) but whatever it is, it's so catchy. I think it helped that he had a real social and political message to his music, and it wasn't just for fun.
1985
Love how he uses shots of Indiana throughout the video...
Ms.Pearson...u would not believe the hit he took4
having our Af.friends in
His music. I KNOW I'm
from Bloomington In. :)
Rock on J.Melloncamp!
Hello Patti how are you doing!!
This song is too good to age! It keeps improving like Jack & Diane!😊
Love the drummer
This has been my favorite Mellencamp song for years. The soul, the tone, the backing vocals, the structure, lyrics, its a masterpiece. My favorite video of his too. Love black and white.
John Mellencamp
Made my day to hear this 😌
For a lot of us his Albums were a big part of our teens,I feel sorry for kids now as I look back at how things were for us!
Summer in Texas, in the Eighties, sweet sweet memories.
Scarecrow is such an awesome record. Mellencamp's masterpiece.
+William Mark Dyer
I agree I think it's his best album. Every song stands out on it's own.
+William Mark Dyer I would have to go with Human Wheels. Stunning, like the great American novel on an album. .
+wayne moores Yep, Human Wheels is a great album, along with Scarecrow, there are some good songs on most of his albums.
wayne moores I like lonely ok nights
me to bud
Saw him 7 times! He rocked!
1985
One of the great music videos to accompany such a great song. I remember when it first came out. It is such a snapshot of Americana during that era.
Great Summer Song!
JCM had some great hits in the 80's, but in my opinion this is by far his best written song and one of the more underrated rock songs of al time, no bullshit, it cuts right to the core
Agree. Amazing.
Yes it's very raw with that great guitar riff and Kenny's kick-ass drumbeat. Sounds like something Elvis could have done in the late 50's.
One of his best.
Certainly good stuff. But there's a whole lot of us that would go with Minutes to Memories. Even the young.
I love that one also. It is my song when I am feeling sorry for myself.
I grew up in French Lick, West Baden Indiana back in the 60s & 70s graduated High School in 1982 when American Fool came out, I bought the album played it to death brought it to Texas with me 40 years later still in Texas home sick for Indiana after several more John Mellencamp albums later, Hope to meet him someday soon Two Hoosiers taking about the good old days in Indiana.
My best & favorite John Cougar Mellencamp Single of all time.
So classic, so great! 😍😍😍

John Mellencamp - Lonely Ol' Night 🌙 1985
john is my hero i grew up as a teen to his music in the 80s and is partly the sound track to my younger life
1985
I haven't heard this song since the 80's, one of his best!
Scare Crow is John Cougar Mellencamp's MAGNUS OPUS. What I have always liked about JCM and his band members is the sound. It seems like They all just plugged in their Amplifiers, Microphones, and started playing,...... whether it is in a recording studio, or in someone's backyard..... Other songs and his lyrics from John have lots of WISDOM.
I meant Magnum Opus.
Agree Sir. His best work. I did not like him prior to Scarecrow. That album changed my opinion of him. Music from the 80s is so great - but so may poo poo it - I never get that.
Magnus was correct, Latin for Great
Francisco Castaneda I always felt JCMs guitarist sounds a bit like Keith Richards style but a bit more southern American tone to the guitar. Maybe I'm wrong.
the genius of this song is putting the melody in the percussion
Fabulous song and album. Nothing screams America like John Mellencamp.
True American talent he had a 15 year run that will never be matched! This album was one of 5 or 6 masterpieces what a band! All said not plucking down a pile of cash to see him live an ticked off now awaydays.
I took my son to see JM, he's a punker and wasnt happy about going but he went cause I asked to go.when John came on stage and started doing his thing I looked over at my kid whos singing every song.Thats 15 yrs ago,he still talke's about that concert and what a great time he had.
God bless you John. Thank you for your contribution to the art of music.
"she calls me baby, she calls everybody baby . . ." love this line
GREAT CALL ERIC. ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME HAS ENTIRE WING FOR HIM. ROCK N THE USA!
such a great line
Yep I had a girlfriend that called everyone "Hon" I felt great when she called me that until she called a male boarder that and the dog and the male attendant at gas station etc😪😪
This video is perfect! My favorite JCM song!
He tore the house down last night in Chicago and this song (video) reminded me the great influence he had and the Midwest Americana his music embodies. He can still do it. Enjoy the tour.
This video has held up really, really well for 34 years.
All of John's sngs and videos are a great 80's and 90's time capsule.
My all-time favorite John Mellencamp track!
Mine too!
@@kurtkauffman4326John Mellencamp
The drums are so good in this song.
I miss my teen years. Such fun❤
They just do not make GREAT MUSIC like this anymore!!!!!
radio wake up play this stuff !!
You mean the Beebs isn’t this good? 😂
"They" do, but it doesn't make the top 40. People that listen to top 40 want beats, bass, danceability, and they don't care about the songwriting or even if the musicians or singers are any good. In fact, most top 40 now doesn't contain any real instruments or singing at all, instead it's mostly rap and autotune. This comes from a different era.
most people don't play it - its all computerized now
This song takes me back to when I was 7 years old. Had this song on a 45 record and played it all the time on my stereo. As an adult, still have an appreciation for Mellencamp's music and probably hear "Hurts So Good" on the radio several times a week. His music has staying power. Going to see him in concert for my first time in the spring and SO SO excited!! I hope he plays this song. I may get weepy because of being so nostalgic...thank you for reading.
I thank God for you John. The world is a better place.
Mellencamp had so many hits . I'd go as far to say one of the best.
Song is so smooth! It is the epitome of cool!
GREAT CALL RUNNER
John jamming alone on his guitar~~ So good~

U GO SUZY DOLL
GO GET HIM SUZY
Your's are beautiful as you look, Thank's for your sincere compliment, I would always give appreciation to my dedicated fan like you
🎻🌹🎻🌹🎻🌹
Poor Johnny Boy still doesn't get any recognition or plaudits for his supreme volume of work, love this cat, I grew up on his music, it's engrained in my DNA, I'm still here loving every day, especially when I listen to any classic of Mellencamp's!
I've always loved this track. It almost sounds like it could be a sequel to Jack and Diane.
She calls me baby…she calls everybody baby…love this song!
What a real talented musician. He really is under rated.
AMEN MARTY
KEEPA ROCKIN MR J.C AN THANKS FOR ALL YOUR GREAT MUSIC AN HARD WORK THAT YOU PUT INTO MAKING EVERY ONE OF YOUR GREAT SONGS BROTHER🍀🇺🇲..
I wonder how many truckers have this song on their playlist. JCM is a flipping genius. So many amazing songs, Damn it's been too long since great music like this
On this day in 1985 {September 22nd} the first 'Farm Aid' concert was held in Champaign, Illinois...
One of the fifty-nine performers at the concert was Johnny Mellencamp; and at the time his "Lonely Ol' Night" was at position #10 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, two weeks later it would peaked at #6 {for 2 weeks}...
The concert attracted 80,000 fans and raised ten million dollar...
Found you again
John Mellencamp -" Lonely Ol' Night"....Another great one........
Indeed there miss Janice!,& also my very best & favorite from him.
Kurt Kauffman Thank you!! Yes, definitely one of his best ..... among many!!!
