I love this song 🎵 ❤️, they rarely play it.I wish that they would play it more 🎉🎉. Some songs are worth hearing more and this is one of them 🎉🎉

Wishing I had a time machine, I'd go back to this memory right now...

It was a great time for sure

If we only had this version of john today .... instead of the complete db he's turned into

Another gem of a song, from an under rated American original. Like a lot of Americans, he is constantly battling a perception and coming from behind to prove himself. I think a lot of us identify with that. Therein is one of the appeals of Mellencamp.

I was getting into Mellencamp for over 2 years when I 1st heard this song.. was wondering how did I miss this.. still one of my favorite ever by him

I came across this by accident... glad I did lol!!

yep too many good memories with this son. great song. class of 84

He is such a guy! Can't dance, but I bet he could change your oil. He was needed during The Flock of Seagulls era. His best and most overlooked song. Five years later and it would have gotten the attention it deserved.

​​@@rimetime6423Nah. He cant dance. Lol I first saw him on Don Kershners rock concert back in '81 when i was 15 & thought... damn great song & love his voice but this guy cant dance. Its like he's always constipated 😄

In my opinion the best version of this song. I love how you can tell that 80's culture was beginning to completely kick in. This version manages to blend the sound of 70's pop rock with the emerging 80's rock. Especially at the end when they do the key change and it turns into some very catchy power pop bliss, with chords that are very reminiscent of the style and sounds of the raspberries.

What a sweetheart! I still have a crush on him ;)

He's so gorgeous!!

Wow never knew this was him ... thought maybe Rick Springfield.. 40 years and still learning later

where the days go were we work and ran all night got up the next morning and did again

Wish I grew up in the 80s shit was much better then

Jay Bread ,You are so right ! ! The 80's was a great time in music history .

Wow...THIS IS, live...Dane he (and THAT band) were so dane GOOD! Love that little instrumental outro too.....Again, NEVER seen this kinda LIVE footage of John and those earlier daze! (My personal faves, growing up then 😎) THX for the vid! 🤘🔥🤘

Esto es musica señores!!!! No como la basura de ahora.... TE ADORO JHON

he had young people in middle America pegged. his hand was on the pulse.

damn i want that jacket!

yes such a great memories!! I remember year ago when I was in high school my mom and I were crazy about him and I still do ..

I love John Mellencamp than and now he's great

Love him. ❤️🎈❤️💃🧨🔥

Awesome 943 pm

Wish this video were more clear. I think i watched this live. Best song ever.

My Lord time sure does fly

Kenny Aaronoff on Drums. Beautiful.

fred linne No that isn't a Members Only jacket. He would not wear one. I did and still wear the leather one I bought 33 years ago in JC Penny's on Long Island. Still looks new. His best song though.

This and Paper In Fire, Love it!...

Good all American music 🇺🇸

aun con este disco a medio hacer tiene mas encanto y feeling que el boss de los huevos , grande john

Such great memories!!!!

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!

Yep.....I agree with you on this one Debbie

a mi me gusta la misma canción pero cuando están de blanco. me traen buenos recuerdos

Thats real music today's stuff sucks compared to this. Ain't nothing like oldet rock music.

So hot!🔥🔥

There's wrong and then There Is Wright! Rock n Roll! -He's So The Play Boy Bunny! Mick Jagger could share the mike with it's Cutest Lady Queen in this Rock n Roll? Replay!

Like what he does at 3:37 or so......you know what that says, music, rock n'roll is fun. Early 80's look to it of course, cause that's when it was, but how bout that: comeon, give a great live performance, and enjoy yourself, with a real singer and a real band. Not a bad idea.

Exxxxxcellent video...but as JMFan06 said...it is NOT from 1982 but from 80 as John cougar....I seen him in concert in Indiana in 80 in his last concert as John Cougar then he changed his name to John Melloncamp afterwards!!!He has come a long way since them days...boogie ON John!!!!!!!!!!!

@onedoo : I wonder what it is that made you say that..I think the oposite.. Finally a singer who had a future as a big idol,yet he decided to take it someplace else.. Coller than that,is hard to imagine

@BananasInMyPassway I know it was probably a rhetorical question but I just had to answer: No, not possible, he's about as adorable as it gets in this clip ;) In the actual video to this song he reminds me of Michael Pare' when he plays Eddie in Eddie and the Cruisers. His hair is all wet and is reminiscent of Eddies Greased back look. Check it out if you haven't seen it yet.

Great sound Why did he change???

They look so stupid now, but back then it was cool. An awesome tune...and still is.

they didnt let him play his acoustic on tv hahaha...if you dont know, he had written FUCK RACISM on it

@wholelottahoopin - I understand going crazy for Cougar but sitting down for Heart? Stange fans that night....

NO!

Awesome song, back in the day when you could smoke anywhere. John's best :)

Song has aged well. Not so much the fashion.

not nearly as stupid as some of the artists from today lol

Sounds a bit Tom Petty

That while guy dance for the first 40 seconds = cringe. Awesome song.

John took dance lessons from Elaine. Love his music but the dude is just not a front man. I always feel awkward asf watching these videos.
