John mellencamp lyrics1/31/2024 Michael from Oakland, CaI think there should be a song from the guy with the hitman story.I wonder if Mick saw any royalties from it? I doubt he did but he deserved to. Nina from Brandon, MsJohn acknowledges that Mick Ronson played a huge role in getting this song together and making it a hit.I've lived in a small Ohio town in the Rust Belt my whole life, and the first time I heard this I knew exactly what a "Taste-Freeze" was bacause we have at least three similar establishments around here (little ice cream/snack stands where you can get hot dogs, burgers, sodas etc. Hannah from Gustavus, OhThis is definitely one of my favorite songs from the 80s.I really like the percussive way John plays the acoustic in this song Brian from Boston, MaThis is a great song.Camille from Toronto, OhOne of the most overplayed oldies on the radio.A Tastee Freeze is kind of like a Dairy Queen. Mimi from Marion, InBobbie Brooks is a brand of women's clothing.It reminds me of some of the idiots I knew in highschool. That's probably so, which ain't much folks. "Two American kids doin' the best they can". Heather from Los Angeles, CaFrankly, I can't stand this song.Check out this uncredited inspiration - it flows better and makes a lot more sense. It all made sense once I realized that song's lyrics are heavily inspired (borrowed?) by the band Sweet's song The SixTeens, where there is a connection between the narrative and the existential crisis. Hans from Cambridge, MaThe chorus is kind of jarring in terms of being incongruous from the verses like Mellencamp was forcing two different songs together.Marc from -, MdFirst-ever interview with the girl in this video, including what she's doing now and never-published pics.They hear this often, and they find the guitar in this beautiful. Finding out that it's overplayed just says why that newer band used the guitar chords of this song. I often hear that song in the radio.Today (08-08-2015) I heard this song for the first time, and as soon as I heard its guitar chords and got reminded of that 2010-2014 song, I searched Jack and Diane up. Shandroise De Laeken from Davao City, PhilippinesThere's a song from 2010-2014 which sampled the acoustic guitar chords of this song.Don't get me started on "The Authority Song" ripping off "I Fought the Law." The content of the lyrics of "Jack and Diane" was taken from "The Six Teens" by Sweet, which is OK from a legal vantage, but the lyrics and melody of the chorus (which opens with "But life goes on") is similar enough that if I owned the publishing, I would have sued Mellencamp. Hans from Boston, MaI had posted about this earlier, but Mellencamp's complaint about the 2012 film, "Jack & Diane" "riding his coattails" is really hypocritical.Youh Mahmah from MdYeah, I know Jack and Diane personally! They are my neighbors and say they used to hang out with Mellencamp all the time! Nah I'm just kidding, so STOP SAYING YOU KNOW THEM!!! (directed towards like 10% of the comments here).John from HeartlandWonder what Diane was like and where is the Heartland?.Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind Two American kids doin' the best they can He's saying "Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone" "Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone" "Well then, there, Diane, we ought to run off to the city" Scratches his head, and does his best James Dean Jack he sits back, collects his thoughts for the moment Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone" "Hey, Diane, let's run off behind the shady trees Suckin' on chilli dog outside the Tastee Freez Two American kids growing up in the heart landÄiane's debutante, back seat of Jacky's car
