39 Gedanken zu „John Mellencamp – Jack & Diane“
  1. Hold on 16 as long as you can changes come around real soon make us women & men. That lyric is so Unbelievably real!! I found out I was pregnant (1st time I had sex!) My birthday is August 31& my beautiful daughter was born exactly 1 week later Sept 7.At least I was 16 on her birth certificate. My mother died exactly 1 week later. If people don't remember you after you have passed away it's like Like you never existt⁶

  2. When I use to watch this video on MTV ,I loved the music and the beat , however I felt this was not relatable to my own experiences. Decades later I learn what the song was truly about before the record company encouraged young JCM to change the lyrics. I was really shocked to learn of the songs origin from the pod cast "the Professor of Rock". All these years..decades later I learned it was very much like my own experience.

  3. I grew up on a dairy farm in Southwest Wisconsin. I was in high school in the mid 80s. We would hear and sing this song on the bus. Gave me a good feeling thinking he was "one of us". His thoughts from the words were so naturally… normal. Cool. Takes me back to those times every time I hear this song. I certainly miss those simpler times.
    "Oh, yeah. Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone".

  4. My grandma Diane loved this song before she passed. I've been listening to it since I was a baby. In my 19 years, I've been blessed with this song. I now listen to it to honor her memory. It's honestly a mood lifter. Just makes me sad some days.

  5. I always thought it went:

    Thump, thump, thump-thump thump-thump
    "So, let it rock, let it rolllllllll.
    Let the bible man come and save my soul.
    Hold onto sixteen as long as you can
    Jesus come around real soon
    take us with him, amen."

    I like my lyrics better
