My band, we had our own tables at lunch filled with all of our friends and girlfriends and their friends... It was incredible!

      Loved this version of the song, will always remember the video because of the one young girl shown in the back of the taxi cab, the heavyset brunette with the big smile, she looked just like my girlfriend at the time. Had no money back then, working two jobs for peanuts, but nothing felt as serious and somber as today. Good to hear this and think back.

      Hey Quentin Dugger! I don't know you but I am buzzed from beer right now. But I thought I'd respond. That summer of 94, my family went to Atlantic beach. I was approaching 3rd grade and my two older brothers were into teens in high school. I watched this video at the beach motel because we did not have cable yet. That also included Beavis and Butthead, and other things. We all even went to see True Lies and The Client in the theatre when it came out. After the vacation my mother left my dad and the family split after that, things weren't the same. All I can say is that the family was shattered and the last thing that I cherished was the burning and fainted memories of all of us in the mid nineties that fell apart too soon. But hey! We all grow up so, we don't put our new kids through the same shit right?

    I remember when I first heard this song back when it came out. I can't say that I love all of John's music, but he does put out incredible tunes that are so terrific, this is one of the best among several that I'd if I'd rock to while I was driving as I drove alone going to work, school or a night out. It just brings out youth, energy and being alive. The young woman in the video as the cabbie, elevates the music a notch as she accents the youth, energy and wildness.

Hate me if you must but I love this version and the video is captivating to me. I'm 53 and should listen to this every day before work to deal with the people I do. Thank you John Cougar and Me’Shell Ndegeocello, you made a classic for me.

    One of my favorite videos made many years ago. Great Van Morrison hit with Shana Zadrick as the beautiful model/cab driver. Shana comes across as free spirited, comfortable with her beauty, inquisitive with a sense of humor...all traits "real" men find extremely attractive. Excellent video. FW

    In the summer of '94 I was getting my pilot's license, I had the VOR tuned into one of the local radio stations when this song came on. It was a beautiful day and I remember practicing recovering from stalls and spins while listening to this. It always stuck in my head as one of those perfect moments.

When we were in 90s it used to play classic and now not and hence the disconnect of the current dumbo generation to the good old 90s. Music and human sensibility peaked in 90s and post 2010 it's filth auto tune shit and stereotypical tunes making artiste dumbos
