I heard this on the radio for the first time today. I didn’t know he covered Buddy Holly. It was refreshing to hear a buddy song through the airwaves. I was singing along.
I hate it when songs are not available on pretty much any app unless you buy the entire album. I love this cover but at least it's still available to listen to on RUclips! Thanks for the upload.
A minute back, was going to lunch with my friend and she had this on a cassette and turned it up loud, a sight to see. Two middle age women rocking out!
Used to listen to this as a kid cleaning the house with my mom on the weekends, huge Tom Cruise fan btw, still love listening to this song and the soundtrack. Thanks for introducing me to rock and roll Mom I love you with all my ❤️!!
I did some digging and it seems like he changed his name in the 90's. The last album of the 80's was 1989's "Big Daddy"? So that album might have been the last before changing his name. I'm not an expert on JCM
Still jamming out to this in 2024.
Hell yeah 🫡
With two days left of 2024... so am I!
All respects to Mr. Holly but this is the best version of this song by far!
Yes!! I wish it was on Spotify 😭
What a great song to start 2025 with!
Happy New Years everyone! 🎉🎉
Yeah! Happy New Years to you too! 🥳🎉

Ugh ik!! Spotify doesn't have it. Maybe someday 😂😭
This is a cover? Who'd he rip it from?

still not on spotify 3 years later :'((((
Even my own grandma said you make me rave on... guess God made you for me so I can rave on! Classic!!
I would have never guessed an accordion would sound so good when mixed with rock and roll.
Try It's a Long Way to the Top by AC\DC
That's the real deal! =)
Really. They've been a part of Rock n' Roll since the 50's
Hot damn your so right buddy!
Completely agreed
Perfect 👍
May and my dad rest in peace My mom said he would play this on repeat
How can you not love a happy, fun 3 minute ditty?
So true!
Still LOVING IT in 2022!
Growing up in Indiana I had many chances to see him do this live. Incredible performer. That’s all I will personally say.

Excellent rendition of a Buddy Holly hit
One of my favourite covers ever.
It's rocking! =)

Love you,too! I think I still have the soundtrack, somewhere! Happy to know you appreciate it now!! 😍
My mom also loved this soundtrack perhaps a little too much lol. Brings back fond memories. RIP mom
JCM has done a brilliant cover 😉😉😉😉😉😉
Sentimental ❤
What a great song to listen to when sipping cocktails. Love this song❤❤
this song went to #17 on the mainstream rock charts in 1988!!!
Yup, I was there! =)
Tom Cruise's best movie. Fight me.
Born on the Fourth of July. Tropic Thunder. Top Gun: Maverick. Edge of Tomorrow. The last four Mission Impossible movies. Vanilla Sky.
Tune 🎉😂❤
why don't they play this on the radio anymore?!
I LOVED this song in Cocktail! One of my absolute favorites!
Amazing movie soundtrack
Great voice, great song. Nobody could've sung it better and was perfect for the movie 👍👍
Ever hear of Buddy Holly, no offense.
@@barriesmith2991 Yep,, and John Mellencamp's Version is best (On This Song)
I love his voice 🤩.I love dancing drunk and move my hip my mamma gave me
Great music here
Love love this song and a accordion wow!!
Love love this song this is music!
This makes me happy!
Yeah! The energy is there!
Love this song

Listened to this on the school bus if the driver would play the tape.
Love it!
Love this !!!

Love this song.....
Yeah, old time rock 'n roll :)
Recorded first by Sonny West, then Buddy Holly, way back when.
Just noticed that this song is not on Spotify
Yup, that's kinda weird...
An old Buddy Holly song. Cool
i dont mind this version its very good
Too bad this isn’t on iTunes 😩
Really? Not even the Cocktail movie soundtrack?
Sound track is on there but not this song
@@xxwarchiefxx2444 I did not know that, interesting...
Not on Amazon Music either...
It’s on iTunes... just have to buy the whole album for $9.99 to get the song.
Omg
😢
strange the soundtrack is not on spotify only self compiled tracks pulled from various albums
Maybe because of licensing issues. This song does not get flagged by RUclips though...
@@TheMack and it’s available on iTunes
old buddy holly song
Can’t get it on Spotify either, must be a licence issue
Might be. It's not even getting hit with a copyright claim here on YT =)
I paid $10.00 on Itunes just for this song.
Would do the same
Well, it's a good song lol
I would to but I have Spotify. Wish it was on there... Wonder why this song is so hard to find.
I’m tempted!!
Money well spent.
Is this the last time Mellencamp was credited as John Cougar Mellencamp? This sounds like it'd fit in well on The Lonesome Jubilee.

Game on.
I ❤you
Oh I love you
Buddy Holly Song
Who the hell is Ray Vaughn?
@Bob Hilarious. Thank you!
ha ha!
Stevie? 😉
😂
Different. Not Charles Hardin Holley.
Should’ve used Original Buddy Version
😝👌😝👌 whooohoooo
Rock on!
Little me one mor3 time have you seen my big ass friends
@@TheMack black Mac in the back
George you got it or need me to show you no bone music
JCM did a great cover, but Gary Busey's is even better.
Truth
Gong here and I hate you makeing me sound like this sorry French and Indian rule Gain oil in bones
Buddy Holly has better (original) version
Then go listen to that version. Also, Buddy Holly's is not the "original" version.
"If I were you I'd have second thoughts ordering the specials"
That's it! A great moment in the film! 😂
