Music video by John Mellencamp performing Cherry Bomb. (C) 1987 John Mellencamp under exclusive license to The Island Def Jam Music Group
This song literally makes me, a 63 year old man, grew up in Indiana, cry. It’s my past life. I lived it. It’s gone. Only in memories.
All good memories I hope🇺🇲✌️
I also grew up in southern Indiana, I'm almost 60..
Looking back on memories life with so much better in our days.. 🙏🇺🇲✌️
Jeff, I get it!! We grew up at the same time. Nothing can replace the 70's and 80's music...nothing! It was CHERRY BOMB!😅
I’m 60yo and just heard this song for the first time in years and it brought tears to my eyes. The 80’s don’t seem that long ago
I'm 32 been watching this video for about 20 years I would love to grow up in your guys generation no cell phones no social media
AI suggested this..?
Is AI catching on or desperately digging deep..?
💪😇👍
When musicians had true talent. Damn i miss real music.
Same
Ditto
You have Taylor Swift what are you complaining about hahah . Lol she's useful as a tit on a bull
Why do you miss real music? It’s not like the music isn’t available anymore. You can literally listen to it anytime you want.
They still have talent lol WTF. They’re just also idiots as well very often.
A black lady here still grooving to “The Cougar” over 30 years later. I saw him in concert back in ‘86, I was 18! I loved how the crowd was so diverse! He is beyond talented, he played damn near every instrument.
Love it. Hi from NZ - over Australia way. Lol.
@John Mellencamp wow, you're actually here, commenting. I just subbed your channel. I'm not too familiar with your music but like this song, and a couple others from your hit list. Great to learn that you're an accomplished musician too.
(I wish my high school experience would've been more like this song)
43 and this is relaxing house music, nostalgia on 1000
Omg I'm 37.. 8 don't know how I know this song. But I love it 😭😭😭.I'm more than sure my parents don't listen to this.
I turned 18 in 86 as well, I love John and love you too! Cheers to you and yours!
I'm 73 living outside of Birmingham UK and this song makes me smile because of the girls I lost my mates came first !!
Stupid !!!!!!
But we had great times.
It's great to have life love friends and memories.
God Bless America
Thanks John!!!!!
"That's when a smoke was a smoke......and groovin' was groovin'"
God Mellencamp was freaking talented
It's actually *When a SPORT was a SPORT. 👍
@@WooBino. That doesn't make any sense at all.... what does that mean?
@@Dippydoo21 Look up the lyric, I had the cassette.
You'd have to ask John what it means.
Who’s listening in 2024 appreciating and missing the 80s
Take me back......
I would love to go back! Everything was simple & beautiful back then. Not like the crazy shit we have now!
I would love to go back to a simple, fun-loving time. Not this crazy shit that is going on! 80's was the best!!
@@Butterfly-tg3oz 100% agree
Yes that was the good old days when things were much more simple we didn't have cell phones God I wish we had them but we didn't we certainly wouldn't have gotten as much trouble things would have been so much easier but that's the way technology is but I do love my music and I do remember growing up in the 80s that was back when I was
Loved Mellencamp since I was a young woman in the late 1970s, 62 years old and can stop singing and tapping my foot to his music. Soulful.
Agree 100% But three was lot of great John Mellencamp all, though the 80s.. Hope you enjoyed those times also.
Me too! So cool 😎
I'm 63... Feeling the same!! 💘
Same!! Love every song he ever wrote ❤
I absolutely agree. 62 yrs. Young. also n gets me up n dancing.
One of the greatest pop songs ever written. Perfect.
Yeah. !!!
One of the coolest songs ever written. That groove is just timeless.
John Mellencamp sang his heart out and had that beautiful story telling.
David, you called it. What happened to the world that loved this kind of music?
Yes!
ABSOLUTELY
Thats when a smoke was a smoke
Mellancamp is the soundtrack to my youth. I just love that dude. Thank you for being a poet. The Black community truly loves John. He was reaching out to us when it wasn't fashionable. Trying to bring everyone together.
Yes😘😘🌹✔
Leave it to tha Professor now ...
Much respect for John Mellancamp, In my youth he was teaching me not to be like the people that surrounded me. I regret that there was a time that I did not treat my brothers and sisters like equals, but I am so glad I am better than that now.
@@MrStSomewhereYou should be so proud of yourself for becoming a more caring person. That's what the world needs more of.
@@RoughRider757 Thank you for that, I really appreciate it.
"17 has turned 35.."that line gets me everytime.Classic song.
Anything by John Mellencamp is GREAT! Cherry Bomb is my favorite.
Everything
Everything he has done kicks a** and rocks
Small town, Check it out, big Daddy, it's all a winning streak..!
If the world is to be ruled by feelings, what feeling should rule the world..?

Do u remember those days was the days of rod Stewart and mellincamp what was ur favorite Stewart sing mine was is down town train second strong #2 was hot legs lol
Mine too, I also love those lines 😉
65 yr. old man grew up in Evansville, Ind. been in AZ. since 84, had to find work back then! my family my life my memories, born in a small town, I can breath in a small town! When I think of John and his songs I think of my home. Thank you.
I am also 65 and grew up in Evansville, graduated Reitz HS in '77. I'm still in Indiana, just outside of Bloomington. Grew up listening to Mellencamp, still remember when "I need a Lover" first hit the airwaves. Great times.
Good people Ind. hard workers, enjoy those cold winters, take care. Pink Houses my favorite!
Makes me think of my wife and I ....an interracial couple back in the 80's ...we dealt with some ignorance but are still going strong ...married 27 years this year
Carlos G I got sent to the principal’s office for acting like John Mellencamp while this black boy and white girl was dancing
Carlos G 👊🏿🖤
Carlos G Yaaasss! So happy to read that
Congrats
Carlos G when did you get out of prison?
"holding hands meant something baby" That lines is true and gets me every time. Holding hands was such a beautiful feeling!✌️
Very true
I'd be honored if some John Cougar Mellencamp fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of JACK & DIANE and SOMEBODY'S BABY by Jackson Browne on my YT channel (tap on my photo go there) in tribute to the great musical summer of 1982. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital enhancements. Thanks and keep on rocking.
Just to know you were with a friend. Love
GOT THAT RIGHT!!!
So true! Way better than everything, anything, any time, all the time, anywhere. Holding hands. I remember.
This was my mothers favorite song. She just recently passed from cancer. I like to play this when i wake up because i can see her dancing and smiling in my mind everytime it plays 💟
THAT'S GREAT RACH. PRAYERS WITH U. #FUCKCANCER.
Great song to remind you of her, This was the last vinyl I ever purchased. It was the right sounds for the time. Nostalgia.
Love this song
The girl
My Mama's too! She passed two years ago from cancer. I play this and I can hear her sing. Bless you and I'm so sorry, here's to our Mama's, may they dance together in heaven.
Hadn't heard this song for a while, but that line often passes through my head. There's something so Christian about it:
"Me with my big mouth. A couple guys had to put me in my place. When l see those guys these days . ."
Beautiful lyrics. Stay humble. Love the Lord. Accept your penance. Reconcile.
As a Nigerian, I kept wondering myself as years went by why I was so addicted to John Cougar Mellencamp's music. Can't precisely say why. But I love his style, his simple down-to-earth lyrics. They wash me over with sweet nostalgia.
Welcome my Nigerian brother to the world of John Mellencamp and his great music!
James taylr up on the roof
@S Loveless: Know what you mean. Time were much simpler, sweeter, and dreamlike lol
Because it’s soulful and good music 💙
Thats so lovely Felix.
Jesus , I love this guy....makes me feel 20 again....thanx John !!!
That beat!! That violin!!! Those lyrics!!! This is music!!!
That harmonic 🎶🎶🎶🥰❤💃💃💃💃
Yes bro!!! 🙌🏻
Beautiful! Just Beautiful!
I love Lisa Germano (violin player)
110%….LOVE THAT VIOLIN & THIS UPLIFTING SONG❣️🇨🇦
I'm 52 now and this song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it
Oh to reminisce about your youth!! Innocence, freedom, and a long future ahead.
So true! I'm 62 and still li
Me Too I just rediscovered this song.
I’m was born the last year for the Xer generation 1979. MTV was apart of childhood. This song and video is very nostalgic for me.
@@CatEyedGoddess I was born at the beginning for gen x,1966,and I remember listening to this song on MTV and the radio ,with my friends ,at the apartment on the beach, having the most carefree times of life,late 80s gen x was the best
yeah but he's kind of a douche
Missing my Dad... And John Meloncamp was/is his younger version doppelganger... the music takes me back to a better time.
Thank God for Mellencamp for having the balls to make a video like this in 1987. The world is a better place for songs like this and an artist like this. Amazing.
Amen
Agreed
I was arrested for Marijuana for the first time back in 1987.. those were good times..
I went to court and beat the case on a technicality.. walked out of court.. got into my car a free man.. and this song was playing on the radio.. and I have been jamming this song ever since!
We got along better in 1987 than we do now.
I've heard he's tried to put an interracial couple on a vídeo since "Jack & Diane".
1986, single, and the girls loved to dance to this tune. I HAD HAIR !!! Now in 2024, in my 70s and married to a wonderful lady that danced with me.
You're very lucky. I'm in my 70s,but my love &dance partner isn't in this world anymore- it's been 20 years-- I dance by myself and REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES! Thank heaven for musiç😊r
Those 80's albums still sound great. John's body of work is truly outstanding.
My favorite Mellancamp song ever! Makes you realize you need to enjoy the little things and make memories. Don't spend your life working. Enjoy life while you have it ❤
Mine too
Your so rite. Enjoy it,
Dancing meant everything and holding hands meant something baby wow how true that was back then.
The best. What terrific memories. We saw him live at least 8ntimes. My husband and i are now in our seventies. Best times. You could go see the best live performers like mellencamp and not spend $800 for 1 ticket
I've been listening to Mellencamp for over 40 years. I'll keep listening until the end of my life. I love him and his awesome music.
One of the most important musical artists of our time and he doesn't receive enough recognition.
My friend went to school with him 😊
What a bloody tune! No frills no thrills just grooving
That is the perfect way to describe this song. Just grooving
Such a dynamic and remarkably marketable voice . Such an ability for love story music . Unmistable .
Who's listening to this song in 2024. Me
私も！
🙋🏻♀️
Class of 72 checking in
Me listenting too) and not only in 2024. Always! Great song, great artist!
Yes indeed ❤
I just moved from the big city and set my family up in the country, my kids are growing like weeds and experiencing real rural life... My son just met his first love. When i see them together I think of this song. I'm so happy for him ❤
17 has turns 62. I’m surprised I’m still livin. Got some grandkids of my own. And somedays I still don’t know what to do. Lol.
I'm 60 and age somehow creeps up... And loving it ... You're blessed and so am I
Yup! Right there with you man...
Amen! Same here

@@greatestever9086 you're still a kid! Enjoy it! If you thought the last 25 years went fast, just wait and see how the next 25 go!
Born in 1986 n have heard alot of music, searching high n low, n always love john cougar. Melloncamp n have come to think for years now, this is my favorite track by him, such a feel good song
A Black girl from inner city here, but I bet I can sing every one of his songs, as well as all of early 80s artists. Good music is for all!
I just love it! 😍❤
According to John on this interview you can find on youtube called John Mellencamp 2017 Late-Night Interview ... his great grandma is black.
thedemetskys wow...thanks for letting us know.
Don't matter what color you are a girl rock on I grew up on Marvin Gaye on cklw in Detroit on Motown music I'm a white boy from a small town in the country Marvin's great don't matter what color musics music it joins us all together down in the soul
Love it! Love all music! It is the thread that keeps us human and humble.
Me-2!! How cool is that?!😎🎤🎶🎶🎶👍👏👏👏👏💓
I suppose Mellencamp was channeling the 60’s here but he accidentally gave the 80’s one of its signature anthems. 👏👏👏👏🇺🇸
Saw Mellencamp perform back in '86... and saw him just last week. Just as good then and now.
I will see him next Friday with good ol' Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan. 3 of the greatest musician, last dinosaurs of the greatest era.
@@minnesotaihighwayman1171 I hope you enjoy.
You were a big influence in my life when I was young now that 57 thank you for the memories.
This is THE best mellencamp song in my opinion -brings tears every time I hear it.I grew up in the 80s not the 50s, but I TOTALLY get it; THANKS JOHN!
This is one of my favorite songs. Makes you laugh, smile,and cry at the same time. Always sing it and dance. Brings you back to the day. .
67 and still listening. Still reminiscing and crying, lol
Memories are wonderful when you get older🎼🎼🎼
I love ❤️ this song 🎵 ❤️ 💕, it takes me back to my youth when I was young and free and just having fun and enjoying what I wanted to do.
The 80s were the absolute best times ever. What a time to be a teenager and young adult. Such great times with friends.
54 Now, young mind with older body
Great song. Feel good music. Never get tired of John Mellancamp music. A song for the ages!
Seventeen has turned 63, got a few grandkids of my own and I still don't know what to do. Still rockin' out to this music !!!!
I'm 61 and still love his music. Your only as young as you feel. Don't you think. Tina I have 4 kids and 10 grandkids and 2 greatgrandkids. . And been married 27 and half years. But I still rock out with my babies. Teaching them what music is all about. And I love it.
Heard this song when I was a senior in high school and that line 17 has turned 35always stuck to me. I’m 50 now and yeah I’m still saying yeah yeah yeah
Same here.. I'm 58yrs and have grandchildren. When they get into my truck, they put on their own today's music and must say I just can't get into it. Maybe a few here and there but no.. As soon as they're gone I go back to my Classic Rock from the 70's. The best decade in music and will always listen to it.
I'm 11 about to be 12 and I love this song!
Tina Dalton alright!!! Very Cool & You R Not Alone!
I love listening to this with my dad and I miss him all the time. 😢❤
Mellencamp's best album by far along with Scarecrow. I played this song at my wedding for all my 200 friends to dance to! AND WE DID.......SUPERB SONG JOHN.....THANK YOU PAL!!
Love John's music. Brings back great memories. Dancing and singing with my young sons. Today I still dance and sing with my grandchildren.
Who is listening to this song in 2021. Classics never die.
Forever
Who would give this song a thumbs down?
I’ve loved this song from the first time time i heard it on the radio. I’m of the same vintage as John M. 😎🎶✌🏼
meeeeee
Meeeee to!
Isn't great when a song can transport your thoughts and feelings, and memories back to the beginning. Over and over and over, each time you listen.
Never straying off course...
This is a great great song. 70 years old now. May God bless him with many more years to grace us with his talent.
2024 still going strong and listening to the man 💕
Saw him in concert in Perth Australia in 1988 absolutely brilliant one of the best I've ever been to!!!!💯💯😀😀
Happy 71st birthday John Courgar Mellencamp 💙💙💙💙💙🦅🎸🇺🇸 I love this song 💙
Friggin classic song. Makes me reminisce about my teen years when this song hit the charts.
This song is a masterclass in folk-rock
LOVE THIS SONG, and the old home 8mm movie clips mixed in is a trip down memory lane. Rock On, JM !!
Listening/singing/playing/loving/dancing to this song at the beginning of my 28th year of teaching high school! Still pumps true for all of us! For my younger days in Smalltown, NM it was the Lota' Burger instead of the Cherry Bomb. That's when a sport was a sport . . . .yeah, yeah, yeah . . . .I'm surprised that we're still living. . . . We were young and we were improving . . .
It can't be any better than this song. It was my life in song. Thank you so much. I'm 72 and time is limited on this earth. When I'm down I listen to this song. It perks me up and I dance a little.😊
Fond memories of my late best friend Marcy. Crazy I lost her at only 38. We always talked about being old together in the nursing home. Forever in my heart. Thank you John for music to help reflect and heal.
Brings me back to my youth in the 80s. Saw John in concert in Montreal with a pretty blonde girlfriend. Oh, I when I think back to those day, all I can do is smile...
John shares all his SOULFULNESS in his songs, he makes sure the flow goes straight to our hearts...We feel it John!!🎤❤️❤️❤️
33 here and my father showed me mellencamp along with countless others. This particular song reminds me of summertime cookouts with family playing horseshoes and volleyball. Meanwhile, I was happy to have my soda poolside.
My brothers and sisters around the world seeing you reach out to each other has brought tears to my eyes.oh how wonderful our world could be if every human being could feel the way you feel.
One of my most favorite all time songs. I love this song. Brings many memories. Thank you JMC
Went to a couple of his concerts back when this song and Paper in fire came out! Had a great time!
God bless melloncamp ,
It takes me back every time
Those great teenage yrs in the ‘80s will always be missed
Love his home-movie style videos. Growing up in America was wonderful, great memories, didn't realize how good we had it. People were much more in tune with each other and had more in common. Kinder too. I miss that.
Think I appreciate it more now that 17 has turned 35 : )
As I grow older I appreciate this song and video more. Life keeps rolling
17 has turned 58!!! Oh how I have always loved this song!! I love all his music but this song just hits my heart. There are many who don't realize what a great artist this man is. Thank you John for all the personal songs of your small town!!
I accompanied the record with my accordion, still love that tune! Greetings from Hamburg
Boy John Cougar Mellencamp, what a Storyteller Oso. He paints a picture with his lyrics like a artist paints a painting with his brush there's only a few artists that can do this and he is definitely one of them. What memories come to mind when you listen to songs like these it almost close your eyes and go back in time to the good old days when songs meant something, told stories of people's realize thank you John Cougar Mellencamp.
This song I believe is John Mellencamp's greatest song. It has a power that moves me to dance and moves me to tears in equal spades. It really is one of the most gorgeous songs of the 80s from a wonderful artist who was so inclusive of all races back when it wasn't so hip
John's best tune.
at age 73 my favorite Mellencamp song by far! Brings back nostalgic times but I was born & raised in NYC (no small-town boy) & we did have some clubs back then. Great lyrics & love the different voices coming in on queue, and that Accordion, Oh Yeah!
I dated a girl for 4 years, lived in many different places together, each home we’d turn this on and dance around the house together. Even though we’re on different paths in life now, it’s one of my favourite memories, I’ll always love you B.
What a grown-up way to tell us how much you care for the lady that was once a part of life. Good on you, my friend.
Fantastic song Fantastic singing John, Bring back the good old days God bless him always 🙏✝️😇🇱🇷💯
I remember well, the year 1984 I just turned 18. Surfboard in one hand, radio in the other, and skateboard under My feet, jamming,play guitar by John cougar himself. I'm 54 years old, and still rocken with mr.cougar.
William Heddy
We are the same age, Happy 55th this year.
Great memories from 1984, not a care in the world.
Now we are living Orwells 1984. ☹️
Another proud Hoosier grooving to another Hoosier's masterpiece. Thanks, John.
Nowadays it's 17 turned 54!This great song was a favourite of mine in the later 80s not to mention the lp it was on!This man was at his best in the 80s - in my humble opinion,lovely to hear again!
I’m a 57 year old woman and my heart still loves Steve Perry on this one. I remember when the “Vision Quest” movie/soundtrack came out. One of the best of the soundtracks ever. Ima Bay Area Girl! Day on the Greens! #510 #415 ❤
As a vanilla guy that couldn't carry a tune if it were in a bag, I love this song. Love his background talent on all albums bc it just adds to his overall vibe - reminds me of a day when we were more solid as a country.
Amen to that Michael. Simpler times. Here is still hoping and praying we will be united as a nation again...
Never asign to yourself a stereotype.
We will unite!
Van Halen Wants to know : WHERE HAVE ALL THE GOOD TIMES GONE
Me too!!
My favorite from Mellenncamp,use to sing and danse every time I heard that song,it make's me happy
Love the second stanza, where she says, "the winter days they last forever" and then John answers with "but the weekends went by so quick" with the great sounding drums and bass in the background, soon to be joined by the fiddle. Sounds so good.
How this is not on the streaming music services is crazy!!! Wonderful song of coming of age. On, such great memories for a gentler time. Now that I am way past that age, I still love this song. The backup singers are great as are the lyrics; listen closely. So sweet. Turn it up!
What a song.John you are special you just had a unique way with your songs. thank you for this one!! Love it the 80's the best
The harmony...his raspy voice simple lyrics that reach anyone who can relate to the story line, the soulful vocals of the back up singer and last....the violinist.
Thanks John...a true classic.
1987...I met my husband the year this song first came out. I loved it then, love it more now. Upbeat, nostalgic, I especially love the fiddle. The lyrics, music and the video are so perfectly matched. Never having seen the video until now, it's amazing how it's exactly what I envisioned when I first heard this song. "Dancin' meant everything...holdin' hands meant somethin' baby..."went ridin' around this little country town, we were goin' nuts, girl, out in the sticks". I grew up in a little country town, "in the sticks", so these lyrics resonate for me. I'm so thankful that I my childhood was in a "hick town" rather than "the city". Lots of open farmland, streams, fields, fresh air, horses, cows, chickens, clean, easy living. Every time I listen to this song, I end up with tears of joy, running down my cheeks, just like back in 1987. Thanks, JCM!
One of my deceased wife’s favorites, I loved it too every time I hear it brings back memories we had been together since we where teens married for 34 years she died with a rare type ob cancer only 36 cases in the United States so everything doctors did was research only lived 9 months I miss that woman so bad my our daughter looks just like her mom hard to bad the tears ever now & then
Brings back so many good memories. John Cougar Mellencamp songs are still great in my book. Music today just can’t compare to the music of the 70’s.
Love that Mellencamp plays the Harpsichord ♥️♥️
What a
Awesome
Song
One if my favorites...❤️🐿🍀🌵
@John Mellencamp Hello...love your music...you are a very magnetic performer..❤️🐿🍀🌵
Man, I"m glad I got to be in my 20s in the 1980s. Thanks for the memories, John Cougar (I know, I know)!
Those were the days, real rock and roll, thanks Mr Mellencamp
A feel good song and I hope now that I’m 57 my kids will chill
As they reach their 30’s and realize that pop
Listened to music that was good for the soul and it allowed us to reflect on our years growing up... holding hands instead of having your hands held up because of you doing wrong. We settled things with our fist instead of a gun and we got over it. You went to a club to have fun and enjoy , not for drugs and looking for trouble. We listened to music that was good for the soul, not to motivate us to do wrong!!!!and left with a smile on our face!
Stan Stephenson
So true, great comment. ❤️💃
AMEN-WELL SAID.CHEERS FROM 🇨🇦
WISH THOSE DAYS WOULD COME BACK😊
Happy Birthday John!! My fellow Libran keep rocking on 💕
reminiscing in about the good ole days of the past 1987, and now people wish they were in 1987. Somethings will never change
