Back in 1982 when Jack and Diane was the big song I had a crush on a girl in junior high,i was a 9th grader she was an 8th grader.Her name was Diane and I would always walk by her locker and shut it asking where's Jack,where's Jack lol.She was a hot gal.Here it is 2017 and we been together since 1983 and married since 1991 and got two kids and still remembering Jack and Diane :)
oh wow Jim that is just so cool. Good for you, that's gotta be a great time to remember so well & also to be brought back there, every time you hear the song.
John that was beautiful. Brought tears of joy watching you with your Granddaughter. She is a doll. Just thinking about how you wrote & sang that song many moons back & her she is singing that same song right there with you on Jimmy Kimmel's show. I have been a fan of yours 4 years. That was special. Thank you sir. God Bless. 🇺🇸
I'd greatly appreciate it if some Mellencamp fans would check out my unplugged piano & vocal cover version of Jack & Diane, which you can find by clicking on my channel, i did my best to do justice to the Man. Thanks and please pardon the self promotion.
Man it's how you get yourself out there. RUclips sure isn't going to promote ya. If you're not some pop artist they don't care. I've got many as well. But I don't get very many visitors. hahaha. I'll check it out.
John is a masterful song writer, incredible painter and true artist who channels many talents through his work and mind -- we are lucky to have grown up with his influences.
He allowed God to reveal n express through him. This man truly believes in the power n validity of the Supernatural. He stated that initially..it's not him ..the words just flow thru him.
Fantastic! Like having John (and his cute granddaughter) in your living room!! I am almost convinced this song was inspiration for Bon Jovi's living on a prayer
John's granddaughter is such a cutie and looks just like him!!!! She's just adorable and so full of energy, and was totally stealing the show from Jimmy and John, LOL!!!! SO CUTE!
Think that was in his record label’s contract, if I’m remembering correctly. I do remember him saying he didn’t like it, but he went out on a limb after being a cameraman & thinking he could play better than band he was filming.
What have the "CHORDS" got to do with the "WORDS"..read comments "carefully" and reply when you *Understand* music that has been transposed, Lacy.. You totally missed the point..ruclips.net/video/-21-kS9SiAQ/видео.html
Not the same chords putting it mildly This is a tidally pretty tough song acoustically if you're going to add that beautiful lick at the start and chord progression which I actually don't think john wrote seeing him play this a few times acoustically now
Damn, listen to the words, He should retire this song already. Boys actually thought like this back in the 70s... Today most of us teach our sons to respect women. So many of my friends were date rape victims because of this way of thinking. Sad that he doesn't acknowledge this and sang this crap right in front of his little granddaughter. In this instance, Mellencamp is tone-deaf.

National treasure.....no doubt. Grandbaby is cool as grandpa.

A cougar I slept with a few years ago told me that.
LOL
No he's aging gracefully he's even had a heart attack
Err I don't know about that his eyes dissapeared
John is a masterful song writer, incredible painter and true artist who channels many talents through his work and mind -- we are lucky to have grown up with his influences.
Well said, he is an American Icon. Love his presence and hope he will be around for a long long time.
"Suckin on a Chili dog outside the tasty freeze"
I see the love his granddaughter has for him in her face.
Adorable granddaughter. I love that John's a good grandpa!
Treasure😎😎😎

John mellencamp I love all your music and you don't live too far away I live in Indiana too
A national treasure indeed. What a guy.
Some guys got it all! His little granddaughter is a total sweetheart! She gonna be a heartbreaker in a few years!
People make such dumb comments. She's a restless little kid. What is wrong with you?
@@johnkuipers7829 why you hating......jealous?
Amaaaaaaaaaazing
That man is a legend. A goddamn American treasure
John's granddaughter is such a cutie and looks just like him!!!! She's just adorable and so full of energy, and was totally stealing the show from Jimmy and John, LOL!!!! SO CUTE!
john is the man !! he would make a good wolverine in the xmen movies lol !!
Stupid comment.
John's aged incredibly! He doesn't even look old enough,to have grand kids! lol
My Scarecrow tape got worn out in the 80s for sure.
he's so much more than jack & diane and hurts so good........
to be COMPLETELY honest i did do and/or PROBABLY will really LOVE john mellencamp
I’m 44, the words resonate.
ALL Adorable.
Me too, Jimmy.Aint even done with the night
I saw him at that exact location
I'm a songwriter myself and I get what he's saying about being available. When I get an idea i text it to myself.
Why not write it to yourself, you idiot.
@@johnkuipers7829 Lol
Precious
Why did John cougar hold the mellencamp name until later on in his career?
Think that was in his record label’s contract, if I’m remembering correctly. I do remember him saying he didn’t like it, but he went out on a limb after being a cameraman & thinking he could play better than band he was filming.
How cool would that be to hv JCM as your grand dad? Shes too young now but she'll b a teenager someday watching grandpa's videos.
I am almost convinced this song was inspiration for Bon Jovi's living on a prayer
Bullshit
@@johnkuipers7829 more hating ?
I had a friend that grew up down the street from john mellencamp,his name is Richard Allen uety if your out there give me a shout
Yep yep.. next hit song for johnny
Jack and Diane were/are an interracial couple.
Simply the BEST 👌 Tina Turner
John is a legend and Jimmy is a punk.
What about the part where Jack wants Diane to "dribble off" her clothes "behind the shady tree"?
probably still couldn't sing that part still too sexually suggestive!
I can't believe that -too sexually suggestive..Come on !
Let the Bible belt come and save my soul
It's, dribble off the Bobby Brooks, you idiot!
@@mikero1649 His granddaughter was right there numbnuts.
She looks like her mom from the I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus video
Mellencamp is an American treasure and a Patriot.+
This literally could have been a Dylan song.
I'm we got the boys but there needs to be some kind of something involving Julie with the girls
Weird. Kimmel didn’t appear to mock Cougar at all.
👍
She’s cute John
...'change gonna come real soon, make us women and men'... - where did I hear that before; 'change' - hint: Vermont...
Sam Cooke sang the song "A Change is Gonna' Come" first...many covers after that.
Whos her mom???
Yeah we do it every we want this is ridiculous where is Karen where is Julie
Too bad he is Kimmel can’t stand Jimmy Kimmel
Wtf wrong with the video??
She does look like u
!
Not the same chords as the original, unfortunately.
Anthony Ward his granddaughter is sitting next to him. He’s gotta keep it causal and clean.
What have the "CHORDS" got to do with the "WORDS"..read comments "carefully" and reply when you *Understand* music that has been transposed, Lacy.. You totally missed the point..ruclips.net/video/-21-kS9SiAQ/видео.html

Man, this crowd is terrible at clapping on beat.
They're brainwashed sheep
2:16 2:17 kid's a devil
ALL Adorable.
Great figure, but who is this again? 🤨
💙 GET: got.cr/remkitty-YT
John Cougar sang it better, but this guy’s good too! 😅
Oh my goodness. For the love of God, please stop clapping. 😂
🙄

Jimmy is a terrible interviewer. How condescending to waste so much of an interview suggesting the guest is lucky to know successful people.
Kimmel is so phony
