Joan Jett - "Tulane" - David Letterman Show - 1988

[@languagetruthandlogic3556]

33 years on - she still raises my pulse to dangerous levels. Awesome

[@Ray-lv7hm]

Drop dead gorgeous. Tons of stage presence. Sounds just as good live as in the studio. Forget the "for a girl" part, Joan was one of the all-time great "frontmen" in rock and roll. Throw out any name, she's just as good.

[@carlFuller-b4l]

Joan Jett is one of the most talent and awesome musician love to listen to her and watch her videos. She is so awesome and bad ass and a beautiful lady on top of that.

[@frilyherrera4390]

Yeah i love you joan jett you're the best. You are so beautiful.

[@onlyjoetee]

Every rock musician is influenced by Chuck Berry!!every single one!!

[@rollingdominoesman]

well she was 29 but yes Joan aged very well - proof that pure belief in rock and roll is the elixir of life ;

[@theelvisguru9490]

And a ton of surgery

[@myearsloveit]

I wore out 3 copies of this cassette man, wasn't anywhere near a tv! Great to see this! Thanx Rock on~*

[@javijett7787]

Amazing!

[@frankkrank3970]

Man she looks so young!

[@fleadoggreen9062]

Great singer

[@joelhassig6099]

Joan Jett is the REAL boss. Sorry, Bruce.

[@maskrado]

Not to take away from Joan Jett's awesomeness, but that sax player looks like the Muppet from Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.

[@shaunarae6361]

Luv it!!

[@dough740]

Good version, but I'm afraid the definitive version is still Steve Gibbons

[@XxJett25]

When she first came out ...Dayuummm! ;)

[@TheVetoSkreeemer]

The album cover looks pretty cool backwards. Joan is cool in any angle.

[@danielcleveland8879]

Runaway with me Joanie!

[@gpgpgpgp1000]

Seen her three times, she's awesome and is a great live act. I was surprised to hear her sing "rotten fucking jail" on TV. I wonder if the censors caught that in time?

[@chuckfan1]

What part of the video

[@gpgpgpgp1000]

@@chuckfan1 around 2:37

[@chuckfan1]

@@gpgpgpgp1000 ahhhh So I looked up the lyrics..... and the word is actually "funky" I listened again, and she says funky. Plus I put on the subtitles, and it showed as funky also.

[@gpgpgpgp1000]

@@chuckfan1 The original Chuck Berry song obviously says "funky," and I guess you're right that Joan did use the original lyrics for this TV appearance. But, on Joan's album she is clearly singing "fucking" instead.

[@chuckfan1]

@@gpgpgpgp1000 guess its agree to disagree... I think we want it to be "fucking", but from what Im hearing, and what the subtitles are saying, its Funky. I mean, especially with the Closed Caption, it feeds off what is actually said..... sooo.....anyways.. peace

[@jojobobo321]

awesome

[@chrissullivan40]

this is so 80s

[@kanealson5200]

Wow Shaffer is rockin so hard his glasses have slipped a little down his nose. That man is out of control!

[@KOSMICKEN09]

Somewhere on KZbin I have a video of the original version played on 8 track tape ✌️

[@calv1nglea5on]

Joan Jett is my Mom 🖤

[@gregmartin1757]

Straight up chuck berry here . Even the chuck berry signature double stops and of course the groove . Can't go wrong if it's a chuck berry inspired song ! The real king .muddy was the father of rock chuck was the king .

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Err, it's a chuck Berry song, he wrote it..

[@SacredFire777]

I'd like to know too! You might have been able to ask her on Reddit's Ask Me Anything. She was on last week.

[@JLEB956]

Really proper rock n' roll, as someone said. Jett has a knack for bonding with her admirers. Telepathy works. wooohoooo

[@DiamanteDea]

Me too. Omg. I do it all the time for school and stuff. :)

[@janicesands2169]

Good singer

[@Spill_Eviction]

@ahadnagy167 I have every single one of her albums. I even have TWO Up Your Alley CDs. Don't forget about The Runaways too.

[@timnolan8643]

All the chicks love a bad boy,but we boys love Joan jett the original bad girl.Fuckin gorgeous.

[@eljanrimsa5843]

All the chicks love Joan Jett, too.

[@lanceholeman4170]

[@punky989]

Wow, even Mr. Letterman had hair!

[@janicesands2169]

[@Sandraalphonse]

[@andys9337]

[@makeupismymister]

her eyes are basically seducing the camera

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Reminds me so much of my first girlfriend

[@normanbell-br7nf]

[@LarzGustafsson]

Well, David, Joan Jett is a girl you can' t get!

[@Carpenterdane]

[@jaytoepfert6776]

[@Sandraalphonse]

It looks like she's looking right at you? But its the camera that she was looking at

[@Sandraalphonse]

🙃🎵🎵

[@kingstumble]

More a cover of the Steve Gibbons version.

[@godzoookie]

How tall is she she looks about 5' nothin'

[@markguzewski5430]

With that 'do, she's 6' 4". Kidding! I have no idea how tall she is. She does look pretty short. One short, hot, rocker!

[@Webtrekker1]

+Michael Gembicki I'm 5'2" and a half, and have stood next to her several times. She is around 5'1 to 5'2. So yea, you got it right.

[@junkolibertines2146]

She's not so short. Because she's taller than me lol

[@Sandraalphonse]

The ponio player lost his sun glasses?

[@colour4music]

only joan would get away with a hairdo like that

[@bigbob16]

They got🎶 bail me out this rotten fucking jail🎶 past the NBC sensors

[@peejay6930]

🎶 bail me out this rotten funky jail🎶

[@junkolibertines2146]

sorry, chuck berry. Joan is better than everyone

[@davidfisher6951]

Mt poxy Google Chromebook doesn't do it justice, terrible sound quality

[@TonyWud]

I do pretty good until she looks at me. 3:02

[@rumtumbugger]

Not enough guitars on that stage for my liking

[@TheseusTitan]

The one thing I don’t like about these newbies is they lose the original rhythm and then three chord progressions all sound the same.

[@thedonwesley5279]

Joan's great , but I prefer The New York Dolls

[@kelvinbolton9395]

Hang on....shaffer on keyboard.........damn

[@normanbell-br7nf]

almost as good as gibbons

[@charlieb6001]

I like it but Steve Gibbons is much better.

[@CBG191]

Pink is not Joan's color :(

[@MacDougalPuppy]

This is the worst collection of haircuts I've ever seen. At least the guy with the terrible hat knows what's up.

[@vigialuis1882]

That's the kind of cap a bald guy would wear.

[@markdaniele4539]

The only time that Paul had the best head.LOL.
