I always took it more as he wasn’t trying to steal his friends girlfriend but that he just wished she was with him because he was in love with her.🤷🏻♀️
That's exactly what it is. He basically states that there's no point in changing the status quo (there doesn't seem to be a reason to change) because he knows that she doesn't even see him at all (the point is probably moot).
He's in love with her but won't act on it, because she's his best friend's girlfriend. It makes a good song. He's not grimy; he's Rick Springfield. He's still fine, too. Haha!
In the context of the song, he was falling in love with his best friend's girl, but at the same time, it comes across more that he wants a relationship like theirs. This comes across with the line "Where can I find a woman like that?" He wants a woman exactly like Jessie's girl, so he can have the same kind of relationship they have.
This show the original girl confers high status upon her lover and the singer lusts not for the girl but the status that she (or another equivalent) will probably bring.
He's not grimey. He's not actively trying to steal her. He's just in love with her. Like they say the heart wants what the heart wants. The brain doesn't have much to say about it.
He's dirty. He's actively jealous and fantasizing and wishing and pissed off his lines aren't working on her. I know its just a song and RS isn't a douche but the character in the song is!
I remember being a preschooler standing in a chair in front of the mirror in my bedroom swinging around my long blonde hair singing this song into a hairbrush with emotions like I knew what the song was about! Lmao! He was a major heart throb for my mama's generation. I saw him in concert in 2010 and he was running across tabletops and had more energy than most 20 year old performers and he still looks fine.
I think in this case he's just fantasizing and since he respects the relationship, he's not going to try to break them up. You can crush without being a creep.
A new song called Jessie's Girl 2 referenced that Tommy Tutone song and the original. Rick Springfield liked it so much that he appeared in the song and video! LoL
I fell in love with my buddies girlfriend when we were in high school. Sometimes it just happens. He treated her bad and she would cry on my shoulder about it. I was seeing someone else at the time, so I didn’t act on my feelings until after they broke up. We never got together, but she was my best friend until she passed away at an early age (26). Got her name tattooed on my chest in remembrance of her.
@@robynthebank919 She was run down by a drunk driver as she crossed the street to go to her car. He dragged her a block and subsequently crashed. He got less than a year in jail! He had a rap sheet three pages long!
Love Rick Springfield!! His concert was the first one that I ever attended, along with three other screaming 8th grade girls and one of those girl’s mom. It was crazy cool!! He still looks great, too. 💁🏻♀️
I love watching you react to iconic songs I grew up with. Yes, he is talking about stealing his friend's girl. What gets me is that as gorgeous as he is, he could have almost any girl he wants and probably did.
i got to see him in concert years ago at the house of blues in Chicago! i gave him a dozen roses and he came out into the crowd and gave him a hug and kiss on the cheek! i told him i love u he said i love u too! check out his videos human touch, dont talk to stangers, u better love somebody those are the classic Rick Springfield videos! 28 year old dream came true!
There’s a difference in wanting and acting on those feelings. There was a boy when I was in high school that I liked, but found out my best friend liked him. I never said a word about liking him to her. But, that didn’t change the fact that I liked him. I just never told or acted on it.
I love this song! I feel like he's not trying to steal her, he just wishes he could have someone like that. Also please react to the RoneyBoys they cover September, Rock With You, and Stayin' Alive.
This is a fantasy. Music is a great way to vent your frustrations and feelings and express yourself. He didn't say that he was going to follow through. He even asked where can he find a woman like Jessie's girl.
I have adored Rick Springfield since he played Noah Drake on General Hospital. He actually played both Noah and himself during one of the Nurses Ball's. Jessie's Girl will always be the song he's remembered for.
The band Coheed and Cambria made a sequel to this song Featuring Rick Springfield. You should check it out!! It’s great!! It’s obviously called Jessie’s Girl 2.
Dwight was Nancy’s date to a party at the house shared by Nancy, Diane, and two other women whose names I can’t remember. Diane had been fixed up on a blind date with Andy. Andy and Diane did not hit it off. Diane was on call at the hospital and so couldn’t drink, and Andy wanted her to match him drink for drink. Diane was uncomfortable and Dwight saw that. He stepped in to talk to her and distract Andy. Nancy introduced Andy to another group at the party , while Diane and Dwight kept talking. D & D ended up leaving the party for a walk to the park to keep talking in a quieter venue and sat on swings and talked for hours. Their 60th wedding anniversary was last September. Mom always said she stole him from her roommate.
He wrote this about a girl and her boyfriend that he met at a stained glass class. He wanted her and she wasn't interested so he wrote the song about his angst. He can't even remember her name but the guys name was actually Gary but it didn't sing as well as Jesse
It more about wanting to have someone you cant have.. Being the friend knowing that you're in love with your friends girl. He doesnt want to steal her, he just want to find someone who is like her.
Old video I know. But I'm old. So old that when I first heard this song on the radio, I was obsessed. Then I saw Rick Springfield and he was my first crush!
I know it says "I wanna tell her that I love her..." but I always interpreted it as he wanted a girl that was like her. "Where can I find a woman like that?" I do love this song.
He's NOT trying to steal Jessie's girl. He's in love with her and wishes that she loved him instead of Jessie. That's why he says "Where can I find a woman like that?" He's respecting the "line" and won't cross it.
My Grandfather's first wife died in childbirth and my Grandmother her cousin married him within 6mos. The things you find out about your family, what's really crazy is they were married for 22 years and my Grandfather passed away in his sleep.
Have always loved this song! He doesn't steal her he just wishes she was his instead! Hell yes that happens. What if it's love at first sight. Come on bruh! Love ain't no playground! The fact that you are so mind blown shows you have an innocent soul!
This song was a big hit when it came out. I was a senior in high school. He also started playing in General Hospital at the same time and our teenaged hearts were obsessed with Rick Springfield!
Yes, I did have a relationship like that. He was my best friend. He is happily married with 3 girls to that girl and I am happily married with 2 boys. Still best friends just move my feelings over. 😁
Please listen to it again, he isn't trying to steal Jesse's girl, he wants what they have and she represents the change in Jesse that he admires, 'why can't I find a love like that?'
Arlene Adkins-Zell, sometimes I wish he would just not talk so much and listen to the whole song instead of jumping to conclusions. He misses out on so much by doing that.
Rick Springfield was very popular for a 'Minute' in the 1980's and had several Albums with a few 'Hit' Singles. He started out as a cartoon character on 'MISSION: MAGIC!' as Himself and wrote / sang songs on the show; ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission:_Magic! ) he was also Dr. Noah Drake on General Hospital and has been in shows- Supernatural (as Lucifer) and American Horror Story
I happen to love the song and you are BASHING RICK SPRINGFIELD! I LOVE RICK SPRINGFIELD AND HE IS VERY TALENTED AND VERY AMAZING AND INSPIRATIONAL SINGER! LOVE YOU RICK OX. PEACE AND LOVE KIMBERLY!🎸🎤🙏🎚💯💝👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I love him!! first fan letter I ever wrote to anyone was to him back in 1983! One of my favorite songs. He wasn't trying to take his friends girl, he loved her but was being a stand up guy and not going after her. You can't always control who you catch feelings for
this song takes me back.He was so huge at the time.He was on General Hospital and other things along with hitting it huge in music for a good 10 years.
What's crazy? A new song (2020) is the sequel to this! Check out Jessie's Girl 2. RS is in the song and the music video. And there is a special guest at the end of the video!
I always took it more as he wasn’t trying to steal his friends girlfriend but that he just wished she was with him because he was in love with her.🤷🏻♀️
Lorene Smith yeah i totally agree. That’s exactly what I believe the song is trying to convey. I think Billy is taking this too literally.
I totally agree tooo. He wants some one like her or her but not to steal her away.
That's exactly what it is. He basically states that there's no point in changing the status quo (there doesn't seem to be a reason to change) because he knows that she doesn't even see him at all (the point is probably moot).
Yeah but like Coheed and Cambria’s Sequel to this song changes the whole context of things!!
Nope nope afraid not. He wants his friends girlfriend
He's in love with her but won't act on it, because she's his best friend's girlfriend. It makes a good song.
He's not grimy; he's Rick Springfield. He's still fine, too. Haha!
He played Lucifer on Supernatural! Loved it!!
he's cute, better see Jessie's Girl (live at the Greatest Hits of ABC in 2016) @ 68 years old but still at his best
Honestly I think everyone has thought about it. But if you are a real friend you won't act upon it.
In the context of the song, he was falling in love with his best friend's girl, but at the same time, it comes across more that he wants a relationship like theirs. This comes across with the line "Where can I find a woman like that?"
He wants a woman exactly like Jessie's girl, so he can have the same kind of relationship they have.

Wow you make me feel old. I was a senior in high school when this came out. LOL
this song is about him having a crush on his friend's girlfriend!
Fun fact "Jesse" is one of the band members
I think in this case he's just fantasizing and since he respects the relationship, he's not going to try to break them up. You can crush without being a creep.
I've always loved Rick Springfield this brings me back to my high school years this is a really good song🤟👍😍🤩🥰💛🧡💝💖💗😘
This led to the meme I saw once
"What if Jessie's Girl, is Stacy's Mom? And 867-5309 was their number?"
867-5309 another song for you to react to lol
Oh! That original video cracks me up every time …..so funny !
Of course the answer to the question is...... Jessie's Girl's name is Jenny.
if Jesse's girl was Stacy's mom I could see his dilemma Screw Jesse lol
LOL!!!

oh my goodness,this is one of my favorite songs,i turn it up ,every time it comes on the radio!
"There's plenty of them out here, you don't have to stress after Jessie's."
☝️☝️☝️ FACTS
Now do his song "don't talk to strangers" where he is the jealous boyfriend admonishing his girlfriend about cheating.
I love watching you react to iconic songs I grew up with. Yes, he is talking about stealing his friend's girl. What gets me is that as gorgeous as he is, he could have almost any girl he wants and probably did.
I loved Rick Springfield when I was a teenager!!

He might lose it watching the actual music video of "Stacy's Mom" 😆
He said when he wrote it, it was a real girl and she was the girl of one of his friends, but they never made the connection.
omg your reaction had me laughing! 😂 Thanks for the giggle lol
There’s a difference in wanting and acting on those feelings. There was a boy when I was in high school that I liked, but found out my best friend liked him. I never said a word about liking him to her. But, that didn’t change the fact that I liked him. I just never told or acted on it.
Oh, the accusation in that finger point 😂😂😂. “Y’all some traitors”.
Another talented Aussie performer and actor
Feel ya man. Loyalty runs deep and not about to break that loyalty by looking at somebody that way.
All right he’s done this one now he’s got to Stacy‘s mom
Mikayla Chadduck Same girl
He has!
Then he has to do 867-5309...
Now he has to do Jenny! 867-5309- Tommy Tutone.
I love this song! I feel like he's not trying to steal her, he just wishes he could have someone like that. Also please react to the RoneyBoys they cover September, Rock With You, and Stayin' Alive.

My favorite song!!! Yasssss 😍😍😍
This song is dope, and with an interesting subject instead of the same old stuff
Love Rick Springfield
I love this song!!!!!
Love me some rick springfield😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
He played on a soap opera. General Hospital. 😆
I've had a crush on Rick since I was 13 and now I'm 52 yrs old... He is now 70 yrs old and still rockin it😁✌️👍 he'll be my crush for eva😘

He doesn't steal her. He has unrequited love for her. He never acts on it.
He wrote this about a girl and her boyfriend that he met at a stained glass class. He wanted her and she wasn't interested so he wrote the song about his angst. He can't even remember her name but the guys name was actually Gary but it didn't sing as well as Jesse
I used to have like 3 of his albums in jr high and high school. Big Rick Springfield fan!
It more about wanting to have someone you cant have.. Being the friend knowing that you're in love with your friends girl. He doesnt want to steal her, he just want to find someone who is like her.
Old video I know. But I'm old. So old that when I first heard this song on the radio, I was obsessed. Then I saw Rick Springfield and he was my first crush!
Rick Springfield! 💖💖💖💖💖 I was JUST watching him on an old episode of The Incredible Hulk!
I know it says "I wanna tell her that I love her..." but I always interpreted it as he wanted a girl that was like her. "Where can I find a woman like that?" I do love this song.
He's NOT trying to steal Jessie's girl. He's in love with her and wishes that she loved him instead of Jessie. That's why he says "Where can I find a woman like that?" He's respecting the "line" and won't cross it.
Slow your roll man...he's broken hearted because he's in love with his best friends girl, he's not trying to steal her away. Unrequited love.
Have you never had a crush on someone who didn't see you that way and they ended up with a friend of yours? It happens all the time.
My Grandfather's first wife died in childbirth and my Grandmother her cousin married him within 6mos. The things you find out about your family, what's really crazy is they were married for 22 years and my Grandfather passed away in his sleep.
I married the girl and yes she was with one of my best friends we were married for like 10 years before she passed away she was the love of my life
I have now what this song is about from 1981 when it come on the radio . I was only 11 years old.
Australian Rick Springfield was a rock star here before leaving for USA around 1970.
Have always loved this song! He doesn't steal her he just wishes she was his instead! Hell yes that happens. What if it's love at first sight. Come on bruh! Love ain't no playground! The fact that you are so mind blown shows you have an innocent soul!
Love Rick Springfield.
This song was a big hit when it came out. I was a senior in high school. He also started playing in General Hospital at the same time and our teenaged hearts were obsessed with Rick Springfield!
My grandpa stole someone else's girl at a Halloween party when they were all 12 years old. That girl is my grandma.
I had an 80s cd and was listening to “torn between to lovers”. I suddenly realized what I was saying - not good.
My very first time hearing this song was from a GEICO commercial
When you love life is a prison so you haven’t felt like this before about anyone
You have to listen to I get excited by Rick Springfield, that's a great listen!!
I was a teenager once... But I grew tf up and learned what was important. 😅😅😅
You really should listen to Rick Springfields' song "Alyson". That one will blow you away.
Yes, I did have a relationship like that. He was my best friend. He is happily married with 3 girls to that girl and I am happily married with 2 boys. Still best friends just move my feelings over. 😁
Please listen to it again, he isn't trying to steal Jesse's girl, he wants what they have and she represents the change in Jesse that he admires, 'why can't I find a love like that?'
Arlene Adkins-Zell, sometimes I wish he would just not talk so much and listen to the whole song instead of jumping to conclusions. He misses out on so much by doing that.
He's talkin bout how he sees the way she treats "jessie" and all that, but he'll hang in the back and be happy for his friend.
This man was my heartthrob in the 80's.
Yes he was. I loved Dr Noah Drake.
Rick Springfield was very popular for a 'Minute' in the 1980's and had several Albums with a few 'Hit' Singles.

I loved Dr. Noah Drake as a kid. He was my first concert. I think I was 14? React to Allison by him.
It cracks me up that all the women below are saying, "No, he didn't mean it like that." LOL!!! YES HE DID!!!
He was in a bubble-gum pop band in Australia called "Zoot"
You should also check out Rick Springfield "Alyson". It has a similar theme. Rick is one of the most under-rated talents of that era.
I love u Billy!!!!!
The song was featured in 13 going on 30.
This song has been in several movies: 13 Going On 30, Keeping the Faith, Boogie Nights, to name a few.
I happen to love the song and you are BASHING RICK SPRINGFIELD! I LOVE RICK SPRINGFIELD AND HE IS VERY TALENTED AND VERY AMAZING AND INSPIRATIONAL SINGER! LOVE YOU RICK OX. PEACE AND LOVE KIMBERLY!🎸🎤🙏🎚💯💝👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Love this reaction. Consider some Don Henley songs. End of the Innocence seems appropriate.
You always want the most that which you cannot have.
I love him!! first fan letter I ever wrote to anyone was to him back in 1983! One of my favorite songs. He wasn't trying to take his friends girl, he loved her but was being a stand up guy and not going after her. You can't always control who you catch feelings for
LOL Billy's going crazy over this song
I always heard the lyrics as "Jesse's got himself a girl and I want to make him mine". xD
I grew up with this song. I was a small child when I first heard it.
This song was featured in 13 Going On 30...
I have thought that about a buddy's girl. But thinking and doing are different things
Rick Springfield was the original Mr. Steal Your Girl.
Kinda cool/ironic that even if you thought you only knew the chorus, you heard one or two notes and already could name that tune.
People of my age hear the first 6 notes and we ALL know the song and start singing it.
Oh how I needed this laugh this morning!!! "Ya'll some traitors...Ya'll some Traitors.." !

@@RinniePere That's also true.
this song takes me back.He was so huge at the time.He was on General Hospital and other things along with hitting it huge in music for a good 10 years.
"THIS MAN TRYNA STEAL YO GIRL" and he could too! 😉
great song he was a soap opra star this is like he biggest song that hes known for.
Good thing to remember - the grass is not always greener on the other side!
That is Rick's doggie though. He was so heartbroken when he passed
He was in the soap General Hospital
Unrequited Love.
I love this song

60 yrs ago my dad told us, you can look but you can't touch
He played Dr on General hospital
Today I learned something new. Billy You So Crazy doesn’t actually listen to the lyrics of iconic songs unless he’s actually reviewing the song.
I'm old school and I'm with you
