FIRST TIME HEARING John Mellencamp - Hurts So Good REACTION

[@jennifertrimper8275]

John Mellencamp has been huge with Farm Aid to help family farmers keep their farms and not to be bought up by corporations. Willie Nelson and others are involved. He’s from Indiana.

[@TownhouseLady]

His other HUGE hit was Jack and Diane.

[@Ackerman_77]

Yes !

[@everydaydave]

Cherry Bomb

[@chrisrandall2710]

Ya guys... WATCH IT! ha

[@jeffrogers2797]

Small Town was a huge hit. I like The Authority Song and I bet you guys would like it too.

[@Humama23Boyz]

Nic, he had LOTS of hits, not just Hurts So Good and Jack and Diane.

[@amydecosta1970]

John has a lot of great songs! Jack and Diane is a great story telling song I think you guys would like.

[@eringiannini3336]

Ooh, and Little Pink Houses, too!

[@LiesaPinkBunny]

My favorite song by him💕

[@maureencollins5177]

And Small Town.

[@lavondadebrito1178]

Absolutely!!

"Crumblin' Down" is one of his best songs, IMHO.

[@71luvmusic]

Agreed. My favorite.

Oh such a great song!

"The Walls" is great!

He's an Indiana boy born and raised! Investigate more if his music. Many of his top hits had the videos shot in Indiana using citizens of the area in the videos.

Pink Houses

Was hoping someone would say so.

Johnny boy finally makes an appearance. He ruled the early 80's. Also try "R.O.C.K in the USA," "Small Town," "Wild Nights," and "Jack and Diane." Glad you two have finally experienced his genius.

Also Cherry Bomb by Mellencamp. All his stuff is good.

Check out his songs: Jack & Diane, Paper In Fire, and Rain On The Scarecrow

[@velvetclay6120]

Yes!

[@krussell9037]

Definitely Jack & Diane

I'm mildly fascinated by the fact that he smokes 10,000 cigarettes per day for 10,000 years & yet can miraculously still speak or sing. 😶 Love him always.

[@adamsgrad93]

Great song! Also check out Pink Houses, Jack and Diane, Small Town, Authority Song, R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A., Crumblin' Down, I Need a Lover ... There are so many songs! He goes by John Cougar, John Cougar Mellencamp, or John Mellencamp now.

[@shelq3814]

Authority Song is my fave by him

[@jewelofaries]

"Sometimes love don't feel like it should, you make it hurt so good." Yasssss twinz yasssss, love John Cougar !!!! The Blue Collar hero who made his mark long before Springsteen. My cousin turned me on to him when I was 7 years old. I've loved him every since. Jack and Diane is a bad jam too. SUPERB choice !!!

[@ArtsyPhartsy123]

Mellencamp and Springsteen both came to fame in the early 80’s

[@cindyluis4054]

Sorry The Boss was popular in the 70’s. Born to Run álbum out in 1975 was more successful but he also 2 prior albums in 1973! John Cougar Mellencamp had first album in 1976 but not popular till his 1979 album.

[@jewelofaries]

@@cindyluis4054 Just as I said, John made his mark, meaning "success" before Bruce. Bruce wasn't a major success until 1984.

[@aintnolittlegirl9322]

@@jewelofaries Bruce was on the cover of Newsweek and Time the same week in 1975. How is that not a major success. Just because you'd never heard of him before 1984 doesn't mean other people hadn't.

[@cindyluis4054]

@@jewelofaries have to disagree. Born to Run and The River were huge successes.

[@TownhouseLady]

He goes by John Cougar, John Mellencamp and John Cougar Mellencamp. His daughter Teddi Mellencamp was a cast member on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

[@ArtsyPhartsy123]

That is sad

[@MVK123]

She's an embarrassment to thus music legend

[@lauramalek3128]

And if he had his choice the "Cougar" would be permanently kicked to the curb. He hated that aspect of "marketing". But it did get him sales, so....

[@janiekale7900]

LOVE John Mellencamp! He has a lot of great songs for you guys to check out.

[@desichambers7556]

Pink houses is another great song from him.

[@rv3853]

Bryan Adams, "Run to You," or "Heaven." 💕

[@mjj1434]

@R V - yes, for the raspy sound as well . “Summer of 69” kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3fNm4KVoc2Zb8U

One of my favorites from John Mellencamp. Try Cherry Bomb, Jack and Diane.

Definitely Cherry Bomb!

[@kellycook4214]

Cherry Bomb! I love the song so much my license plates are CHRYBMB.

[@melaniecarol6019]

Been waiting for you guys to listen to "Dont you forget about me" by simple minds. I know when day you will get to it!!! Love you guys

[@mimime5326]

Saw him at Farm Aid 2 back in the day. It was July 4, and it took place in Manor, TX, at a HUGE field outside of Austin. There was absolutely no shade, and as the day went on, it got hotter and hotter and hotter. I pulled up the lineup from Wikipedia, and it was amazing - Mellencamp, Willie, Dylan, Stevie Ray Vaughn, George Jones, The Beach Boys and many more…

[@keithbates598]

John Mellencamp is from Indiana. Keith can't believe you haven't of him. He said he is coming to you and show you the music of the 60s, 70s and 80s. Back in the day!!! Thanks Tim and Fred Joan and Keith Bates

[@CrystalBlueVibrations444]

Jack and Diane, little pink houses. And so many others . he’s an Indiana boy.. He’s awesome Love you guys!! Thanks for this fabulous channel.. it’s like hearing all my favs again through fresh innocent ears when I watch your videos

[@nancyskids5696]

Lol this is so 80’s 😆 those were my years though 🎶

[@michaeltipton5500]

This really was a banger back in the day. I had also heard he was a very kind and generous person.

[@saddleupvickysue1412]

Good old Midwestern home boy! Indiana I believe.

[@Humama23Boyz]

Seymour, Indiana. He refuses to live anywhere else. Mellencamp truly lives out the lyrics of his hit Small Town.

[@Humama23Boyz]

John Mellencamp is a massive talent. He co-founded Farm Aid (with Willie Nelson and Neil Young), a multi-act concert to raise money to help family farmers to meet their bills and keep their family farms. Like my beloved Dolly Parton, John Mellencamp is the real deal who hasn’t forsaken his roots and feels a responsibility to use the platform afforded him by his music to help others. He has done lots of great songs; I’d check him out on KZbin.

[@ElectroAnnie]

Still a banger! I remember the teacher playing this during recess in kindergarten. All us kids would go crazy for it.

[@lh6890]

More early 80s songs that are good: Donna Summer, "She Works Hard for.the Money"; Styx, "Mr. Roboto"; Men at Work, "Down Under" and "Be Good Johnny"; K.C. and the Sunshine Band, "Give It Up". There are also the songs of Duran Duran like "Hungry Like the Wolf".

[@doreensarcone4346]

Cherry Bomb !!!!! He has so many hits but that song right there will have you GROOVIN'

[@margaretgonzales-charles4972]

John Mellencamp helped organize farm aid during a drought in the 80s. Saw him at Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI that summer. He donated all proceeds to help the midwest farmers.

[@MsOneDrop]

I cracked up at the garage comment! My brother was lead guitar in a couple bands and they always practiced in our garage. Wow those were the days!

[@Dinosaur_game_world_761]

He started out as Johnny Cougar, then went to John. Thought "Cougar" sounded very teen idol, so he added his own last name and went by John Cougar Mellencamp for a while. He eventually dropped "Cougar" and now goes by his own name, John Mellencamp.

[@meganalves9967]

[@sheilajstorms]

[@kbusby4824]

Definitely a banger. Saw him on the Scarecrow tour in 1985. Great concert. In the mid aughts, I saw his drummer, Kenny Aronoff, in the Indianapolis airport. Took me a while to place him after logging lengthy travel time back from Europe. He has some great songs including A'int Even Done with the Night, Jack and Diane, Lonely Ol' Night, Paper in Fire, Small Town, Rain On the Scarecrow. Love his music; it really resonates as I am from the Midwest as well.

[@janicealexander4432]

His other song little pink house's. The groups to listen to in the late 70's and 80's. We had good music to listen to.

[@melissar6365]

In his very early days, the record company made him change his name to John Cougar. Once he could, he changed it back to his real name. Listen to anything from the Whenever We Want It or the Scarecrow album; amazing! He is one of the G.O.A.T.’s !! Saw him live 3 days after 9/11/01 - best concert ever! If ever there was a time we needed him and his music, it was that night! I’ve never felt so connected to so many people I didn’t know. That night, we were all friends and all in it together. We were one big community! I’ll never forget it. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXOvh3h3osdmh9U

He started out as John Cougar, then added Mellencamp, then dropped the Cougar entirely. The recording label wanted him to go by John Cougar. “American Fool” is one of my favorite albums- can’t go wrong with any of those songs!

[@schmedrake5429]

He's from Bloomington/Seymour. When I was in college in the 80s, at the height of his fame, you'd see him walking around Bloomington on a regular basis. He has a song called Pink Houses and the pink house that inspired it was on 69 between Bloomington and Indy. Many of his songs mention Indiana. He and MJ are two of the most famous musicians to come out of Indiana. Of course, MJ was in another class, but Mellencamp is nothing to sneeze at. He is still enjoying a multi-decade career. He has albums under the names Johnny Cougar, John Cougar Mellencamp and John Mellencamp.
