"Pink Houses" "Small Town" "Jack and Diane" "Hurts So Good" "Authority Song" "R.O.C.K. in the USA" "Rain On The Scarecrow" "Hand To Hold On To" "Check It Out" "Cherry Bomb"....
All great !!
"I Need a Lover", "Hard Times for an Honest Man"....
Ain't Even Done with the Night. Lonely Old Night. Small Town. Pop Singer. Last Chance. Key West Intermezzo. This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Pennon - awesome line from that song.
Keep going down this rabbit hole. You'll LOVE it!!👍
Love "CHERRY BOMB". He has so many great songs!!
'Rain On The Scarecrow' next please. John has a lot of awesome tunes. 'Pink Houses', Jack & Dianne', many, many more.

Dive deeper into John Mellencamp so many great songs...
John Mellencamp was also one of the founders of FarmAid-massive concerts to benefit the farmers back in the 80s/90s.
You must have heard the name John Cougar??? John (Cougar) Melencamp, the record company made him change his name to Cougar for the first handful of albums, then when he became successful he went by John Cougar Melencamp, now it's just Melencamp. Brilliant artist, Crumblin' Down, Jack & Diane, ROCK in the USA, Rain on the Scarecrow, Small Town, and many many more!!
I don't think I can ever refer to him as anything other than John Cougar Mellencamp.
He started out as Johnny Cougar. Not his choice. Then John Cougar, next John Cougar Mellencamp and eventually John Mellencamp. His given name.
Rain On The Scarecrow by John Mellencamp! 😎🔥🤘🎸
John Mellencamp is one of my favs from the 80s. I saw him in concert in upstate NY back in 97. He is the only performer, other than Cypress Hill, who had to take a smoke break in the middle of a song. He was singing "Small Town" and stopped, walked to the left side of the stage (in full view) and smoked a cigarette while his keyboard player improvised a "Wave your hands in the air, and shake ......" rap in the middle of a song about small farm towns, most whom still hadn't heard of rap in the early 80s.
John Mellencamp-American treasure for almost 50 years. His albums today are sttill great.
"I Need a Lover" is pure brilliance!
Rain on the scarecrow
I have been a fan of John Mellencamp since he was known as John Cougar... Fantastic Songwriter and Vocalist... Ain't Even Done With The Night and Jack and Diane are two songs you really should listen to...
John has TONS of big songs. Pretty much every song is about life in small, poor towns in America.
"Small Town" definitely tells you about HIM.
"Pink Houses" tells you about his neighbors.
Small Town by John Mellencamp! 😎🔥🤘🎸
Crumblin' Down by John Mellencamp! 😎🔥🤘🎸
John Mellencamp has a lot of good songs like, Shirts So Good, Little Pink Houses, Jack & Diane, and many others to many to mention. Try some more
Shirts so good?
Hurts So Good, lol.
Rain on the Scarecrow another great song ❤
Jack & Diane by John Mellencamp! 😎🔥🤘🎸
"Rain on the Scarecrow"
Killer drums on that track.
Hurts So Good by John Mellencamp! 😎🔥🤘🎸
Great rabbit hole 😊🔥
You should do a Melloncamp song once a week, for next year, he's got a bucket full of them.
Many great Mellencamp songs, most prominent being Pink Houses and Jack and Diane.
Authority song, a Rocker!
I love John Mellencamp. He has so many great songs: 'Small Town', 'Hurts So Good', 'Pink Houses', 'Pop Singer', 'What If I Came Knockin'', 'I Need a Lover', 'Crumblin Down'... lol there's many more, it's insane. Mellencamp is definitely a rabbit hole worth going down. He's great!
Great song, great reaction. Straight up rock, no gimmicks. So many more now to choose from. My favorites are Lonely Ol' Night, R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A., Crumblin' Down, Authority Song, Small Town, and Cherry Bomb. The list goes on.
So glad I was born and raised in the midwest just 50 miles due east of where John grew up. Hoosiers!!
Mellencamp was an absolute hit machine in the eighties. It seemed that every single he put out was a mega hit. I took my six year old daughter to one of his concerts and it was a great show. She loved it, as did i. If I had to recommend one song, hard to do, it would be Pink Houses but there are just so many great tunes from him that anything would be fine.
Banjo, upright Bass, dobro(the slide guitar) fiddle ,accordion and the rest of the traditional instruments. Good tune.
This was John first full album with this song. Before this album, he was pretty much just a 4 member band. On his Scarecrow album , that was the first time John experimented with this sound on songs like Small Town. Other great song by John is Rain on the Scarecrow. But really almost anything is worth listening too of his.
John Cougar Mellencamp - The Walls Come Crumbling Down - Jack and Diane - Hurts so Good
Cherry Bomb by John Mellencamp! 😎🔥🤘🎸
Over the course of nearly 40 years I've heard this song countless times. And yet it wasn't until that I learned it was called Paper In Fire. Heck, I had no idea he was even singing those words.
ABSOLUTE BANGER! 🔥
Jack and Diane and cherry bomb great tunes 😊
Right On!!
John Cougar = John Cougar Mellencamp = John Mellencamp. He has a huge library of hits.
This song is so underrated in his catalog. Amazing song with so much soul and feeling.
About time :)
Such a great song and video. Came out in 1987. John had big hits in the 1980s and 1990s.
Finally! He is the heart and soul of middle America. I saw him open for Heart. And I love Heart, but it was sad when he was done and that it was a short set. 30 plus years of his music. I grew up listening to him. He reinvented his music at least twice and really a third time although the past incarnation gets little air play.
Born and raised in Seymour Indiana, currently lives in Bloomington Indiana.
John and I were friends back in late 80'. 86 to 88. Pool table partners north part of Fort Wayne. I moved to Cincinnati and lost contact.
This comes from the album "The Lonesome Jubilee", which is, in my opinion, one of best albums of the 1980s. Fantastic songs from start to finish.
My favorite from John is Hurts So Good, but you can't go wrong with any of his music.
Check It Out by John Mellencamp! 😎🔥🤘🎸
Sooo many great songs. I love this one but isn't even in my top 5 Mellencamp songs. A cool rabbit hole to explore. Next, go to one of his earlier songs like Hurt So Good, Jack and Diane or my favorite I Need A Lover which is brilliantly written
R.O C.K. in The U.S.A. by John Mellencamp! 😎🔥🤘🎸
"Dance Naked" and "Human Wheels" are two of my favorites.
I know John he’s from Seymour IN were I live now. My husband went to school with John. Most of his videos are from his home county Jackson Co. Pink Houses was filmed right down the road from me. John is the Midwest’s story teller. 💯🔥🔥
He has a bunch of Great Songs.
“Check It Out”
That is the title of the song
Mellencamp live from home state
Indiana
I forgot how great this one was!! It makes you feel so happy to watch!!
This album, Paper in Fire and Scarecrow are legendary albums of the 80's. You should hopefully listen to much more of his music.
one of my fave Mellencamp songs
John Mellencamp! (previously John Cougar, John Cougar Mellencamp) No matter the career name changes...his music is great! & I always loved it ❣️ Also, one of the founders of Farm Aid. Some of John's songs include: "Jack & Diane" (well- known song) "Pink Houses," "Rain on the Scarecrow," "Cherry Bomb," "Hurts So Good." 😊
Wow! Look at that young Kenny Aronoff on drums. He has played with so many bands. John has a huge catalog of music for you to check out.
I Need A Lover by John Mellencamp! 😎🔥🤘🎸
Lonely Old Night by John Mellencamp! 😎🔥🤘🎸
love him! he was real with it! the Clan did not! there loss! the "Cherry Bomb" video really got there panties in a wod!
John "Cougar" Mellencamp has always been a mid West kind of guy. Along with Willie Nelson and Neil Young they put together Farm Aid in 1985 to try and help America's farmers. "Rain on the Scarecrow" is a great song about their plight
Mellencamp is the Poet of the American Heartland. This song is badass, but not the place people usually start with him. I'm cool with it, though. One of my favorites.
Now you need to check out his songs Just another day, The full catastrophe and Life is hard, and of course Pink houses and Jack and Diane. So many amazing songs
I saw him twice in concert both shows were great. The first one was postponed because he went to a local Seattle radio station they got him some food to eat during his visit and he got food poisoning. Check out Wasted Days he was joined by The Boss Bruce Springsteen.
Big catalogue to check out from John. My faves include his first hit "I Need A Lover" along with "Human Wheels", "What If I Came Knockin"" , "R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A."and "Rain On The Scarecrow".
There are a lot of interesting instruments in this song. That's why I love it and he is always great with lyrics and storytelling. John was a Hottie back then.❤❤
Next from John Cougar Mellencamp… “R.O.C.K. in the USA” and “I Need A Lover”.
The original "John Cougar" was the first CD I ever purchased. One of my favorites that didn't get much traction is "Small Paradise".
Great Artist…saw him three time. Great catalogue! Take a deep dive! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
John cougar ,JACK & DIANE BEFORE HE went to Mellencamp they tried to keep control he fffuu
I liked this version of his band, because of the violinist.
This genre is considered Americana. This is a deep rabbit hole!!! One of my favorite artists!! Many great songs!!!
It's a strange thing when you get far enough down the road that people don't even know about someone who was so big not that many years ago.
"He has scored fourteen Top 20 hits in the United States. In addition, he holds the record for the most songs by a solo artist to hit number one on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, with seven. Mellencamp has been nominated for 13 Grammy Awards, winning one. He has sold over 60 million albums worldwide, with 30 million in the US."
😊 My favorite Mellencamp song is 'Minutes to Memories'
You can't go wrong with anything off the Scarecrow record.
This is one of my favorite songs by John. I live just down the road from his hometown of Seymour, IN. He has many great songs!
Not one of his most popular songs, but one of my favorites. Need to do Rain on the Scarecrow for sure - his tribute to the plight of independent farmers
Independence Bank had a celebration for the grand opening of their new bank here in Bowling Green and wanted to offer a free concert and ask him to perform. Allhe asked for was a $50,000 donation to Farm Aid. This song is from his second or possibly 3rd iteration of his music. More thoughtful and introspective.
Please do “check it out” so many hits. “Pop singer” “Hurts so good” “Small town” great catalogue to explore
Lisa Germano had just joined the band and is awesome !! You should check out his remake of wild night it's awesome one of my top 5 songs of his !!
His fiddle player is from Dallas Texas
Hey, I like that Sam is in the drivers seat. ❤She da BOSS today❤😂JK
He has a Great song from his first album titled " Small Paradise"
originally known as John Cougar.
Do more guys! "Cherry Bomb"
Definitely this one!
An early song that you might enjoy is Ain't even done with the Night. He was fighting the record company (again) to reclaim Mellencamp as his artist name and dressed himself and his band in cheesy doo-wop outfits for the video as a GIANT middle finger. It's subtle and hilarious.
To add to the list of instruments shown, the guitar with the metal plate is actually a Dobra.
Mellencamp has a million hits……One of the great singer/songwriters of our time
Pink Houses next please.
I love all his music. He grew up pretty close to my hometown
Cherry Bomb is another great song by John Cougar Mellencamp. ❤
You also need to check out Pink Houses.
John also plays a lap harp in some of his songs, as well.
I’ll sure I get some dislikes for this, but this is the only John Mellencamp song I like. It’s on my playlist. Another song that I dig that kind of reminds me of this and I highly recommend is Blue on Black by Kenny Wayne Shepherd.
Great Reaction! You might consider reacting to “Rain on the Scarecrow” about the plight of the American Farmer. Amazing artist!
Yup he changed his name from John cougar to John mellencamp
I saw an interview with John saying he didn’t like all the attention he got and he didn’t like touring.
The “cello” is a stand-up base…you mentioned Steve Earle. Please listen to “Back to the Wall” that’s on the Copperhead Road album. It’s fire!
Do John Cougar Mellencamp cherry bomb UFC very unique instruments all of his videos he has a wide range of instruments
Fantastic performer check out cherry bomb and another check it out
Hello from southern Ontario. John Mellenamp is awesome more please. Could you do some reactions to Blue Rodeo?
So many songs you should explore
