With the current political climate today, I was actually afraid of reading comments. I'm so pleased to see that so many people support Joan. She truly is a goddess.

The people who would gnash their teeth over this aren't anywhere near cool enough to have heard of the song.

The part about having the same build, same hair, always reminds me of my wife and I when we first got together in our late teens. Androgynous was always how we were described- how she looked despite being a girl, how I looked despite being a guy. but In the end, it turned out we were both girls after all, It was just that for the longest time- I didn't know I was allowed to do that.

This song was a pivotal moment in my gender expression and will never forget it. First time I heard the word androgynous and made me feel safe that it was okay to be that way. I remember using the quote ‘he might be a father but he sure ain’t a dad’ in my school essay as my dad didn’t understand me and it was a perfect way to write down my view on him. Will always love Joan Jett and will come back every few years to remind myself where I came from and all the happy memories and struggles I found along the way

aww this video is so sweet.. I didn't understand it at first but then I noticed that the younger girl had a resemblence to Joan, and the younger couple did the same thing with their thumbs as joan and the dude did at the end.. SWEET ^_^

Joan, I first saw you in Madrid new mexico 1981? At the baseball field by the mines. It was a small gathering but, I will never forget. Your beauty, punk rock, everything, gave me a reason to breathe. Ironically, i think we are the same age. I'm having gran Mal seizures with spellchecker hoho long story short JOAN JETT

It's a great song by both bands. Like you said Paul and Joan are friends and have appeared on each others recordings several times. Joan and the mats are both legends.

I never get tired of this song or video. its so pure and real. joan is amazing and has a great voice. i hope she keeps making albums for a few more years.

@@KerryRobertson-lq3zbCrash Test Dummies did cover this song, but they didn't write it. The song was written by Paul Westerberg and is on the 1984 album Let it Be by The Replacements, and stands out as the anthem it became on an album full of punk rock sensibilities. Cheers!

The Replacements are of the greatest rock-n-roll entities of all time...I'm a bit biased being from MPLS and being born in 70...but seriously, true rock-n-roll in the footsteps of Bowie, The New York Dolls, The Stones, influenced Nirvana and that whole late 80s 90s seatle scene big time plus mucho mas...

Joan has been threw alot.What a great song.❤

It's a cover of a track on "Let it Be' by The Replacements from 1984. Paul Westerberg is the songwriter.

Yes, indeed another brilliant cover by JOAN JETT. I love her voice and she's still a nice girl

i love the song and this cover so much. it makes me so happy i could cry

she's singing the song as an adult looking back on a rough patch of her life (which turned out fine). westerberg was singing it from the perspective of the teen going thru it at the time, thus the pain.

Nope. Westerberg was writing about Tommy. Same with 16 Blue.

I was at the Essex concert too. Fricking awesome. Joan is still awesome after all these years.

This is a great song. Joan Jett singing Paul Westerberg. Whoda thunk? Her band really swings and cuts into this. Excellent drumming. All groove.

i love this song!!! joan is such a great and amazing artist!!! i went to my first concert this year and of course i chose to see her!!!! since May of this year ive seen her 3 times and i cant wait until she comes back towards where i live!!!! Keep up the great work and stay safe joan! -Brooke :O)

I love this video... and Joan Jett, she is like the coolest person in the world!!!!

I just heard their version on their new CD. It was a great cover, glad someone else knows of them.

jane doe has been an author and illustrator for more than 20 years, with the rare ability to transform her personal tragedies info triumphs for children of all ages. She currently lives in her home with her long time boyfriend Dick Head of the seminal rock band Dickhead! and their children in the mountains of upstate new york.

God...I love that smile at 1:24 and the one at 2:44..I saw her countless times many years ago, and she still looks great !!! Thanks CthulhuXIII for the " guy in the back" clarification. I never would have guessed it was John Doe from X ( another awesome band !! )

Joan is the best!!

Yes, it is. I bought it used for $5 and it was the best CD I bought in '07!!!

Still listening 😂❤

Joan is gorgeous! The song and video are just beautiful.

I will always love Joan...

EVERYONE! Go nominate Joan Jett & The Blackhearts to be inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame 2012!

Imádom ezt a számot nagyon jó.Csodálatos...........Köszi Joan.......

Joan is fabulous!!

A great cover of a Canadian classic.

The Replacements are not Canadian.

In hindsight this song while it's from the 1980s is way ahead of its time, and the music video today would be attacked by crazy people even though it's from 2009

Sinner is such a great album!

true, the video isnt angsty. it's just sweet. it's just a hopeful, nice version that puts you in a better mood after you watch/listen to it. how dare they (?)

In far reaches of the Galaxy this will be real if only we could live it

So funny and Im so jealous to all those kids... I wanna be one of them :D

my friend sent this to me and said," watch very closely and tell me what you recognize" the video was literally shot at my middle school im freaking out

i absolutly love this video... no joke

puts me in a ridiculously good mood

I love this song

great cover of a classic replacements song.

Coool thx

that was cute! love joan!

This song is fuckin' awesome. Love it and her,

daw, i want her to come read to me! XD but seriously, i've always loved this song. :)

One more reason why a plain white tank is a fashion necessity.

This song is sooooooooo radical

Vcs podiam remasterizar os clips antigos para fhd e 4k. Amo muito esse som e video. Uma pena estar em uma qualidade de imagem tão ruim pros dispositivos atuais

The guy at 2:39 has the awesomest style :D

me be loving joan i say me be loving joan joan so cool

I've been thinking.....Joan would havemade one hell of a teacher!! :-)

I'm sure Paul loves it.

It's like 1987 all over again! Hard to believe that song was written 40 years ago, when boys were still being razed for "looking like girls" after 20 years of simply emulating the same rock gods the girls their age were into, and girls were still being razed for cutting their hair short - over the same 20 years since Vogue models like Edie Sedgwick & Twiggy, et al, & actress Mia Farrow (among others) first made it trendy to scoff at the carefully coiled coifs of their mothers' (those being such a complicated laborious time sucking money drain that they, too, would eventually opt to crop their locks in favor of easily donning readily changeable pre-styled WIGS in the fashions du jour, lol). Anyway, Joan looks awesome. I'm glad she has a new release, & its nice that the former 70s Runaway from L.A. still succeeds despite her mercurial career choice. It's also nice that she paid respect to her punk grandad by giving X's John Doe a cameo (if minus eXene). I also hope this credit helps former Replacements (aka Mats) lead, Paul Westerberg, who wrote the song & put it on their album, Let it Be, in the 80s, where I heard it first at age 15 (& still sing aloud to today). Since, even being a moderately successful rock act thru your 20s is no guarantee of comfort for those that survive into their senior years.

other than it having no people of color whatsoever (which *is* a big deal), it is a beautiful video.

John Doe from X playing the lover... Nice.

Damn!! - Joan is lookin smokin hot!! And anything that puts a few quid into the Replacements coffers is a good thing right? It's a win - win guys - " What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding." ???

OMG YES!!! She is WAY better looking than she ever was...

have you heard the cover of this by the new standards? it kicks ass

That's John Doe fro X in the video with her.

is it just me or does she look alot like Cher in this video? regardless, great song, great message, fuckin' loves it!!

Does not seem like its been that long ago.😮

Who's the guy in the back of the room? Is that Dennis Quaid ? Damn...she looks great !!!

No that's John Doe from the band X.

a clean audio-only version of the Replacements version was finally posted. check it out. /watch?v=J8RlCt8IafE while I love Joan's version, I still prefer the original... so much more passion and heartfelt angst.

Was wondering why it sounded familiar...

Did anybody think so many years ago that these words would be a main stream political storm all these years later?

@RobinMarieHamby You mean did she get a lot of work done on her face? Yes, yes she did.

she still look´s like twenty !!!!

Maybe because she is an American? Not all of us see in strict black-white terms. That you accuse us of doing. This video seems to me to sum up her life. Certainly a woman but definitely not the stereotypical girly girl. Hell I think she is smokin' & keeps gettin better. Plus John Doe is in the video & I get a kick out of the name on the back of the book at the end. If you do not know who he is, Well you are sitting in front of a computer. Try X,or Knitters even.

The Crash Test Dummies did this song too.

care to go into WHY?

This is a Replacements song.

almost as good as the great Replacements

i like it a lot more by the replacements.

it might be because the song is 24 years old. kinda late to jump on the hate wagon

who is here from by hook or by crook?

woeha, duane peters as the dad!! fool.

THIS SONG GIVES TRUMP 24 VIBE

An amab wearing a skirt is still so controversial that they have avoided making Dick wear one in the video, even though it's first line of the song. Like, come on! As an enby who actually wears dresses and lives this life this is kinda disappointing.

And the video reduces "he might be a father but he sure ain't a dad" to complaints about parents - NO! It's about Dick being a parent who's also nonbinary! Wtf!

OK, so am I the only one surprised to learn that Joan Jett is HOT!!!! I've always known she was good looking, but a little on masculine side for me to call HOT!. This is a remake of a song that I first heard on Crash Test Dummies Ghosts that Haunt me. Joan Jett's Greatest Hits is one of the $5 Amazon Downloads for July. I (still) Love Rock and Roll! (and I have appreciation of a new kind for Joan Jett).

your comment is also disgusting. Next time you try to crticize someone, know your facts.

hahaha oh Joan you are so evolved...but please oh please lay off the plastic surgery! Missing those hot rocker lines!! :0)
