Joan Jett Mary Tyler Moore Theme (LOVE IS ALL AROUND)

[@bottomup12]

Thank you Sonny Curtis and Joan Jett for this cover!

[@lapavoni86]

Wow. Just wow. I absolutely love how she winks at the camera. Powerful song and the perfect tribute to MTM.

[@mitch6969123]

That was always a good song, and sounds even better by Joan Jett..

[@johnwatts8346]

this is mindless trash.

[@vikbaddhaus6886]

Holy crap. A perfect performance I have watched dozens of times. Make me weep its so good every time.

[@timothyhowsare8415]

Joan Jett's cover version plays during the ending credits of the movie "Drop Dead Gorgeous."

[@ncavlleguy]

SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL !!!

[@65wiseman]

God bless Miss Jett for helping keep the memory of MTM alive -

[@Philmoscowitz]

She's so effing awesome. I love the short hair. It suits her better than long hair.

[@debpansier6705]

I'm glad MTM got to hear this version!

[@lisal5517]

I want her to live forever

[@taylorh4480]

she recorded this as the intro to the movie "Mary And Rhoda" in 1999 (which aired in 2000). The hope was that the movie would do well enough on TV to jump start a "Mary and Rhoda" TV series picking up on their lives in New York as single parents in their 50's. Sadly the movie didn't do as well as the net work hoped and they did not greenlight a series. But for those who haven't seen it, I highly recommend you go watch it. One last hurrah with Mary and Rhoda playing those classic characters over 20 years later❤

[@AbirTarafdar]

Oh thanks for the tip ❤

[@common12]

She is very aware- the winks are sublime!

[@stevenjones6780]

This just kicks a**. I feel like she was straight on top of her game for this. When she looks at the camera (yes, she's winking at her hero), you can just feel the Love and raw power she brought this night.

[@beniceorbegone]

Joan, your eyes

[@mysterion]

Off the hook. I remember when this aired

[@KaidGardner]

Love this video. She rocks the red hair

[@dominickk5293]

This was even more off the wall than when Faith No More did that cover of the Nestle White commercial.

[@LarryLeeMoniz]

The most kick-ass thing EVER!

[@bruceburnside1215]

I've listened to this countless times. I grew up on MTM and Joan Jett!

[@batgurrl]

A totally unexpected cover and brilliant and fantastic. Thanks Dave Letterman for presenting it. I must come back and revisit it on a regular basis❤️

[@kevinforever6898]

Perfect cover of a perfect song.

[@Westsoid2009]

I have a tear in my eye right now, I don't mind telling you...

[@gymnastix]

There was also a produced video for the studio recording of "Love Is All Around" by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, which was only released as a single (never on a studio album) and on a later greatest hits compilation. From what I read, Jett was persuaded to record the tune (to which she also added a verse) as a positive message about women's participation in sports, I think motivated by the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). The video was in regular rotation on MTV back in 1996-97 (when MTV still aired actual music videos, the "M" in MTV). I know I have it on a VHS tape somewhere. But it would be a major task to find it now. Let's hope Miss Jett or someone will eventually upload a good copy of that video for "Love Is All Around" sometime soon, in honor of the recently deceased American television icon Mary Tyler Moore. Also, Jett was not the first to record a rock version of "Love Is All Around." That honor goes, appropriately enough, to the defunct Minneapolis band Hüsker Dü , who recorded the tune as a B-side to "Makes No Sense at All," the A-side the sole single from the band's 1985 album "Flip Your Wig."

[@johnnybrighton9156]

I'd say this version leans more towards punk than rock. (And Hüsker Dü's version is terrible.)

[@SDSOverfiend]

Great post. About 16 years ago I was looking for this cover before I knew who Joan Jett was. I heard the theme on ESPN for a woman’s college basketball commercial with North Carolina Tar Heels in like 97. I looked for it heavy. Then looked for “Love is all around” and I just followed the bullet. But it was that ESPN commercial that made me love this song because it went perfectly with the clips shown

[@epistte]

@@SDSOverfiend I first heard it as the theme for women's NCCA championships. It was so cool.

[@richinmusic]

Husker Du did a great cover of this as well.

[@RobertNixAlternativeArtist]

A great tv theme song done in the style of The Ramones and done well.

[@barrysmith8920]

Joan loves the camera 🖤 The camera loves Joan❤️

[@johnnybrighton9156]

Great song, well done. Shame Letterman rushes on at the end so the Jetts don't get their deserved applause - that's typical of him.

[@leemclaury6251]

Horrible just horrible .

[@welchshahan714]

It's what you feel at the time. I don't know old you are. But if you don't like JOAN JETT , Who do you think is better?

[@phoenixtimes2]

Terrible. Horrible.
