[@TidePride]

Such an amazing catalog of hits: "Authority Song" & "Crumbling Down" should be next up

[@Alewifes_Husband]

Just happens that those two are my favorite Mellencamp songs :-). ROCK in the USA too.

[@TidePride]

They're my #2 & #3 behind Pink Houses....Crumbling Down is criminally underrated imo

[@gj8683]

Uh-Huh is a great album.

[@allendixon7700]

Yup that 👌💯up until I got home tell you fart now John Cougar I guess when I was about fifteen he had to Jackie and I and then I think a lot of his better work come on a little bit later alright I love chicken doubt Cherry Bomb stuff like that hay but for John Cougar it's all good brother hey all day jay I'll ride now

[@allendixon7700]

@@TidePride I could put some love on that girl and that check it out video coming up there playing the fiddle like that come on now and with that long all Mayan all day long that's my song Hey brother all day jay hey

[@michaeloesterle6652]

Small Town is one of his best known. Cherry Bomb is really good, and Paper in Fire.

[@smittybenzo4693]

In this episode of Brad & Lex, the drums, the snare, and gritty electric riffs activate Brad's signature "side to side sway" while Lex cheerfully absorbs Mr. Mellencamp's enjoyable pain executing her jolly movements until the time is right to introduce her "prayer bop" for all to see until Brad presents the risque truth to Lex's innocent ears in which pain was not included in the memo.

[@TracyfromNC]

Hilariously good, bro! Lex is so sweet and good, tough to make me laugh about her naivete.. He brings the melon to the camp !but Brad gets real. Bless that man!

[@Jamie-lw5sy]

Dude you're such a clown😂👍😂👍

[@loisrogers2511]

😅

[@OG-SherlockHolmes]

If you like love songs that aren't sappy, you have to hear "I need a lover". By Mellencamp. Extended intro version

[@bowtangey6830]

YES! "I need a lover who won't drive me crazy"

[@isherrod13]

That's a good one

[@johnhamilton748]

"He really brings the melon to the camp" classic 😁

[@saintsataniko2116]

"He really brings the mellen to the camp!" Of all the funny, unexpected lines Lex says this one is definitely top 5.

[@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester]

John mellencamp, Tom Petty, And Bob Seager to me are the best Rock n Roll Story Tellers ever. Always classic and fun!!

[@tocham757]

He brings the mellen to the camp, thats a good one

[@jek4837]

Mellencamp's record label pushed him into using the name Johnny Cougar for his first recording. They didn't want him using Mellencamp because it wasn't marketable. Eventually he was big enough to force them to at least let him switch to John Cougar Mellencamp, and later he was able to drop Cougar altogether.

[@bobschenkel7921]

John Cougar Mellencamp and all his biker buddies made this an early MTV video hit song. Not an S&M thing, just emotional pain.

[@donaldgilbreath4200]

1982! Great year! Loved this song!

[@rick5908]

This song brings a tear because it's that passion sharon and I had. When we were teens if we got into scrap everyone would say that's never gonna last and of every friend we had we were the only ones who went the distance. 44 years and would be going on 52 had she not passed in 2014. I could never have that kind of fucking passion with another person, and yeah sometimes it hurt so good.

[@SnibediSnabs]

When I was 7 years old, I got a drum set for christmas and started taking drum lessons, and this was one of the first songs my drum teacher had me learn. It's had a special place in my heart ever since.

[@boneycrane4889]

Love this it reminds me of those Great Ole Days ❤️❤️❤️😛😛😛😛

[@paulboudreau3754]

The first song by him I heard was when he was on Solid Gold and did I Need a Lover (that won't drive me crazy) I was hooked. Pat Benetar covered it later.

[@duane8829]

Crazy, I cannot recall Pat Benetar doing that song at all.

[@bluefish4999]

It has a sexual meaning but I also think it's the emotional pain two people will put each other through when together, some couples will have more drama than others but it's never a straight road in a relationship. God did they play this song relentlessly when I was a kid.

[@pssthpok]

I always assumed it was more emotional rough-and-tumble, kind of like Tom Waits in "Invitation to the Blues", where the act of ending a relationship is often an invitation to the blues... and so is starting one. Also, if I ever get the opportunity to get into a 'sink your teeth right through my bones, baby' taken literally relationship, I would be looking for a fire escape.

[@jpsmith8673]

@@pssthpok Nice angle on the song. I like it. Also, nice to see a Tom Waits listener. I have been pondering trying to get Brad and Lex to listen to some Tom Waits.

[@davidavi8554]

This was one of my favorite song in high school. Still love it to this day.

[@paulsorensen6643]

Mellencamp ruled the 80s MTV videos

[@gregj1295]

Relationships are tough with good and bad times. I think he means that getting through the tough times were hard with her but it was all worth it. Hurts so good.

[@5954ldydi]

Yeah I just seen a interview with John and he was asked about BDSM and this song. He removed his clipped on mic and walked out leaving the reporter/interviewer sitting there. So I agree it's more like a better to have loved than not to have loved at all song -leaving it to hurt so good.

[@ShreddFly]

Hey guys what's up! Greetings from South Florida! They called him John Cougar when he first came out. And this was his first MTV video. I was in like 9th or 10th grade. Brings back memories. You guys rock! God bless you! Peace!

[@robinschulze934]

“I Need A Lover That Wouldn’t Drive Me Crazy” try it you’ll love it!!!

[@glennk5434]

Mellencamp songs just make you SMILE!

[@BlazinRiver1]

John grew up just north of where I did.(and Larry Bird was kind of in the middle) I am sure we played the same clubs. Never met him but I used to jam with his cousin. Sounded just like John. Southern Indiana may be farm country but we know how to rock lol

[@hughdalton7622]

Love it when both of you are smiling as the music plays.

[@lajolla200]

"Really brings the melon to the camp" 🤣 AWESOME!

[@amitychief3061]

LOL, when Lex said John really brings the melon to the camp it mad me think of a slang phrase I heard from the 1950's "That really razzes my berries".

[@alandoherty1332]

Thanka brad 😎and lex youre so funny and a trip 😊🤣🙏🙏🙏🙏🌞🌞🌞 Please dont change ever! 👍👍😊😎

[@StephanieHealy-wh9cn]

As someone in their 60's, I love to visit your reactions because it reminds me of some real fun times. I was around when MTV first went on the air. They only played music videos, and I was totally addicted to watching it all the time. I always loved watching music videos from my favorite artists.

[@Indy1831]

Mellencamp is one of America’s greatest singer/songwriters with a ton of hits. “Pink Houses” Lonely ol night” “Authority Song” “Rain on the Scarecrow” are just a few of his hits.

[@dananichols7657]

It was nice seeing Lex clapping. It reminds me of the video that was in rotation on MTV. A bar full of bikers singing along and clapping to the song.

[@todvball]

Awesome! Early JCM!! I'd love to hear more.... "I Need a Lover" is a great cover.

[@st_marymary2711]

Watching Brad's expression turn into a smile to match Lex and then lightly sway together during that first "Hurts so good" 😅😅🤣🥰

[@surlechapeau]

Brad & Lex, his "Jack & Diane" and "Small Town" are next for you!!

[@scapito]

They did a reaction to Jack & Diane, which Lex loved. She sings it all the time. It's really cute.

[@brucevidito4923]

I was stationed at Aviano Air Force Base in northern Italy when this song came out. My Air Force and Italian friends definitely partied to this song. Brings back great memories.

[@jayconant3816]

He was one of the co founders of the farm aid concert fundraisers for farmers in the heartland whether you like or don't like his music he deserves respect for helping the farmers of america..plus this song was in the original footloose movie

[@deanroddey2881]

Flashbacks. This is one of the songs my post-high school bar band did.

[@profanepersonality]

This is a song I heard constantly a child. It is nostalgic for me.

[@nonplayerzealot4]

I think he just means "Let's make each other sting a little in the right places." You do the biz and it's gonna happen and it's a good sting.

[@williameller7002]

Thanks for doing one of my favorite Mellencamp songs

[@paul.kristoff]

Worth the watch just for Brad's rendition of the opening of "All My Life" haha.

[@turdferguson3475]

I saw him open for the Kinks in the 80's. The band was billed as "Johnny Cougar and the Zone". I remember thinking at the time that he was a half-assed Springsteen. My opinion hasn't changed.

[@Seven50ml]

This is the first song I ever heard from John. Great Americana artist

[@kerrylewis2581]

Brings melons to camp. Lex, you truly are one of a kind.

[@Jamie-lw5sy]

Lex is so sweet and innocent.😂👍 I bet she brightens up Brad's day just by being around him.

[@14gilbertst]

John was one of the founders of the Farm Aid organization. He wrote a very moving song about the plight of small farmers during the Reagan years. It's called, 'Rain on the Scarecrow.' 'Small Town' is another hit from the same album.

[@Jamie-lw5sy]

He brings the melon to the camp. God I hope John Mellencamp sees this.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🇺🇲

[@redsmoker37]

Reallly great 80s rock song. Was in the movie Footloose, too. :) I'm kinda missing Brad's lil bro as a guest commentator.

[@grogueQ]

I agree with Lex on this one, I think it's more like the hurting of the longing. He says at one point in the song, I ain't talking no high heels, so I think he's saying he's not talking about sm.

[@btnhstillfire]

You guys have some of the best vibes on youtube. Lex is always so happy to hear new music she csnt stop smiling as soon as the music begins and you cant really see much expression on your face at first bc you are focusing on the song but you start grinning too. Just good vibes. Ppl not biased just letting the music kinda come over them. ❤️👍

[@jono8884]

" The song was first conceived, Mellencamp claims, in his baby's crib. John claims to have had an epiphany with a girl named Tiffany the day before who had uttered the phrase "Hurt so good" referring to an acupuncture treatment she was receiving from John's paternal grandmother. He then repeated the lines to Green and they finished the song very quickly." Wiki.......some things hurt but are pleasurable. I suppose masochists ....leather and whips etc. would qualify.

[@moonlily1]

He has an epiphany With a girl named Tiffany...

[@slammajamma5435]

“Rain on the scarecrow, blood on the Plow.” Enough said.

[@1957wade]

Need to do his “I need a lover that won’t drive me crazy”

[@davidbird461]

Now that brings memories back mom loved

[@sharilynbratton6476]

I still love his old early 80s song Ain't Even Done With the Night, so good.

[@DeathNRebirth]

This music is so nostalgic to me, growing up in the late 80'/early 90's, hearing Mellencamp in the back yard as my dad plays it while working on his car in the garage. Gotta listen to som Tom Cochrane, he has a certain vibe that matches this as well, with a Canadian spin

[@markbaker3013]

Thank you for sharing this with me

[@kenpatton8761]

Checkout the video. MTV was great back in the 80’s! John Cougar has many great songs….Cheers

[@Nicole-sf5ms]

"All My Life" by K-Ci and JoJo. You did a very good impression. LOL

[@julietate7806]

The "Cherry Bomb" video is a must-watch. Not only does John have a great voice; he can dance. I saw him live, 3rd row, in Savannah, and he played almost 3 hours. He has a deep catalogue of music and is one of the best performers I've ever seen. "Jackie Brown" is another. "Small Town," "Rain on the Scarecrow," ...

[@arizrich]

I've always thought it was about the pain of love. But then I'm simple sometimes, lol!

[@pammorgan721]

I absolutely love listening to Lex's logic , it's great ,lol

[@kierstenridgway4634]

I totally can see how Brad would dig John . Simple , Rockin, Good !

[@retiredfirelt586]

Brad is a man's man... Lex is an angel!

[@wickedPrints3256]

" Side note, John Mellencamp he really brings the melon to the camp!" 🤣🤣🤣☠

[@j.jmcquade5278]

Another great Footloose movie song! Awesome part of the movie

[@unseenentity326]

Jeez, these people who can't get the lyrics right. It's "I long for those young boy days" not "I love all those young boy days". I see misheard lyrics in almost every lyric video. They need to proofread for spelling and make sure the lyrics are correct! Just my pet peeve here...

[@maluorno]

this song is one of my earliest memories. His work has been pretty consistently awesome for decades my faves include Check it Out, Love & Happiness, Sweet Evening Breeze, Again Tonight, Blood on the Scarecrow, along with everything else everybody is throwing out there. :^V

[@ScorpionHeatseeker]

You guys are awesome. Love it!

[@gj8683]

It's like the follow-up song to "Love Hurts" (Nazareth) and the one that comes before "Love Stinks" (J Geils Band).

[@sondyhowellweber1474]

He still loves his Harleys! So cool 😎

[@davidcarpenter9020]

You can't go wrong with John all his songs are good

[@cevinwillson9113]

Ain't even done with the night is my favorite by him

[@ericwilliams1031]

Gotta do his earlier hits like "I Need A Lover That Won't Drive Me Crazy" and "Ain't Even Done With The Night"

[@DeansMayhem]

"He really brings the melon to the camp" hahaha, awesome! As to the meaning of the song, I think it's a combo of both of your takes on it. Great reaction though.

[@davefaust4482]

He really brings the Mellen to the Camp...hehe....she said that after he said she into the rough stuff. haha That's why I watch this channel. They are such a fun couple. I wish they were my neighbors.

[@mneugent7658]

"Check It Out" is my favorite Mellencamp song by far. Live kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqLbdXWfnrudorM

[@sj49770]

The was the first track on "American Fool", the first cassette I ever owned, when I was 7. No wonder I'm messed up

[@VidiotSavante]

John brings the "Mellen to the Camp!" LOL! 🤣 Love it, Lex!!! 😎 Next, you guys need to hit the full length version of his 1978 musical masterpiece "I Need A Lover" (released under Johnny Cougar). 🎶😎 Here's a lyric version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKiaf5mad8lmgKc I was only 11 when this song came out and it just blew me away! This is one of those songs you have to crank up!

[@quixote6942]

This was a Staple for Strip Club Dancing Back in the Early 80's. Sometimes a little playful "Nibbling" and back Scratching can be fun (OCCASIONALLY).

[@Malryth]

LOL!! Oh the discussion with Lex about the song and she went right to BDSM!!! I lost it laughing my ass off!!! Maybe it's more a song about loving a female vampire? lol! I tell you that song you chose for the ending of all your videos' fits so well many times...

[@joemachine4714]

Try John Cougar's hit "I Need A Lover (That Don't Drive Me Crazy)" it's a banger!

[@coodermo5263]

If you go to a bike week anywhere you're sure to hear this song.

[@RhettAnderson]

I forgot how good the organ sounds in this song.

[@neilmartin99]

Huh...all these years I thought he was saying "Sometimes love don't feel like a shoe."

[@markclark4795]

Off his breakthrough Uh Huh album with the dancing demons on the cover. High school cool.

[@Bmphotog]

Feel good song!

[@rodroller6634]

You got to bring the Mellon to the camp baby.

[@reddog8684]

Hey you did do it! Rock on!

[@Rockford03]

NEXT... I need A Lover /John Mellencamp👍👍👍👍👍🇦🇺( Full version)

[@briangraham3029]

He brings the melon to the camp !! Lmfao.

[@skydog6376]

Rain on the scarecrow is a must do 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✌️

[@isherrod13]

The video is even better

[@billspivey6919]

HAD the cassette. Classic from youth

[@davidpeters6854]

Brad you are right on the money

[@MikeHorror67]

KC & Jojo - All My Life is the song you were referring to with all the baby's in it.

[@JohnnyTalia]

"C'mon baby, make it hurt so good.." - Brad smiles. "Sink your teeth right through my bones, baby..." - Brad's eyes get reeeeaallyy beeeeeg...". But then Lex explains it all by saying "He really brings a melon to the camp." Ay-yup.

[@willybubba]

On his 2018 Plain Spoken DVD, Mellencamp talked about what inspired this song: "When I first started playing in rock bands, I didn't realize how crude and mean other fellas could be. How crude they were with women and how crude women were. That led me to write a song called 'Hurts So Good' because I was playing in these bars and I just could not believe the lows people would go to with each other. The thing that surprised me is that it fit my personality perfectly. I fit right in with all that." He also goes on to say he wrote that song in 3 minutes in his shower as a "joke" type of song

[@efetherman]

Me, John Cougar American Fool, and a Sony Walkman did two miles a day for years, little bit of Heart and Pink Floyd but mostly American Fool. Training to join the Army.

[@efetherman]

This is the most Cougar I've seen on the internet in long time, no I don't hate John, always Cougar to me, face to face, I'm still going to say, "I loved John Cougar's American Fool album".

[@docwatson8848]

Johnny Cougar was a stage name he kept and added Mellencamp when he went solo, he came from poor roots and his music reflects it. I think he dropped Cougar eventually. Small Town, Cherry Bomb Authority Song and Pink Houses point to Johns life for real. I have been posting a lot so I will take a break and just enjoy your journey through music I lived through 👍
