    The song is not about sex. Its about being young and living in the moment. It's about finding happiness in the little things we take for granted.
    It has my favorite line ever in a song...... "Hold onto 16 as long as you can. Changes come around real soon, make us women and men".

    • @davidspingler6337
      @davidspingler6337 3 роки тому +7

      Well, it IS partly about sex, too. Because it’s part of the titular characters’ being young, in love, and living in the moment. It’s much deeper than just sex, of course.

    • @isabeljimenez6067
      @isabeljimenez6067 3 роки тому +12

      @@davidspingler6337 I'd definitely argue that. The song is about the uninhibited, freedom of youth and not taking it for granted. References to sex in the lyrics are to invoke that memory of when you were young enough to roll around in the back seat of a car. It's not about the actual act of intercourse. Saying it's about sex obscures the bigger and intended message...... hold onto that part of you that had no other concerns but to enjoy the now, before you know it those days will be gone.

    "Let's go Behind a shady tree, kick off those Bobby Brooks & lemme Do What I Please" lol
    I think he was talking about his own experiences as well as the thrills & lives most every young teen and adult experiences, or should. Especially if u were young back in the day. It's about the seasons of youth, being young, wild , reckless, free spirited and carefree, while incorporating sex in the lyrics bc of course the experiences of young love & first times are a big part of growing up & transitioning into life as a responsible adult.
    Favorite Lines in the song: "Hold on to sixteen as long as you can, Changes come around real soon make us women & men"! That is all too true, you're 16 then one day you wake up to being 36 and an adult with real life responsibilities & commitments & prolly some regrets just wondering where it all went & when, & those days are just memories you wish you could relive 😢
    I remember being a Diane when I was younger, backseats, hoods, behind trees, in the field, with my then bf (Yeah, I said it, I'll Own that!) Bc life WAS so much more thrilling & exciting as a teen and young adult, not just sex wise, but EVERYTHING was BRAND NEW, when you're young you feel like there is an eternity before you to live your life & accomplish every hope & dream! Wish I felt that way now, I know there's still the Diane in me somewhere just waiting to come back out! Lol😂💕🤣💕

    You just crack me up. This song was a staple on MTV back in the day! Jack is a known nickname for John, so there’s a clue! When sings about “sucking on a chili dog outside the tastee freeze” it always reminds me of our tastee freeze! How I miss that place. John was born and raised here in Indiana, near Bloomington (IU) he still lives here. Every semester my friends and I would try to figure out where he lived. Lol! John is an amazing musician. “Little Pink Houses”, R O C K in the USA” and “Authority Song” are great. I’m almost positive this song is about his first relationship/girlfriend. He’s worth more reactions. Also, maybe some Billy Squire “Lonely is the Night” and “The Stroke” are great! Thank you for the reaction! Love ya lots! ❤️😘

    Still know every word to this song like the back of my hand. He was a staple on Mtv back in the day so those of us who grew up then remember so many great songs of his. I got to see him at Mohegan Sun a couple years ago. My favorite songs of his are "Rain on the Scarecrow". "Crumblin' Down" and "The Authority Song". I live by that last one to this day. An American treasure he is.

    Here’s some trivia for you. When he was first signed, the label thought his last name wouldn’t sell records, so they made his go by the name of John Cougar. He had a breakout song with ‘Hurt So Good’. Great video! After he became famous, he reverted back to his real last name of Melloncamp. He was one of the people responsible for Farm Aid, which was a concert to help out the farming community here in the US. This video was of him and his wife at the time. They used a special camera to make it seem like they were old home movies of the two of them. The song is about first love in a small town. Btw- he’s now in a long term relationship with actress Meg Ryan. (Yes, I’m a font of useless information) Cheers

    Saw John Mellencamp at the Staples Center back not long after it opened. I had been wanting to go, but couldn’t find anyone me to go with me, so I didn’t buy tix. A couple days before the show, I checked to see if there were any tix available, and a whole row was open on the floor, about ten rows back. These were artist holdbacks that had been released to the public, so I took advantage and bought one tenth row seat for face value, and that was the first time I ever went to a concert by myself. When I got there, the whole row was still empty! Behind me was this really cute girl and her friend...it was her 21st birthday and this was her first concert and she loved JCM! So we chatted, drank, and partied a little while waiting. A few minutes later this guy come stumbling along...wasted drunk...and sits down next to me. It was also HIS birthday, but he had nose bleed seats with all his buddies, but they bought one of those cheap tenth row seats off a scalper for him to upgrade for his BD. Wasted, he asks me what’s up with all the empty seats, and wanting to crack a baller joke in front of the ladies, I joked that I had bought the whole row out for myself. 😂 He totally believed me, even after we all kept insisting we were just messing with him. It was hilarious. Awesome, awesome show, too. Almost 20 years ago. I was in my late 20s, and most of the crowd had grey hair, even back then. 😂 Love JMC, especially now that I live in a “Small Town” again now.

    Happy Juneteenth bro! This is a song that was number one on my birthday (October 3, 1982). Interesting fact that Mick Ronson who played with David Bowie, played guitar on the song and the drum machine, John said that he borrowed it from the Bee Gees who were recording their album at the time. And the song is originally about the interracial couple but the record company (Universal then Mercury) forced him to changed the lyrics and with the video, he was making both Hurts So Good and Hand To Hold On To at the same time
