The winter days they'd last forever was a female singing that

[@romeosyne]

The verse that has the other three band members singing on it is a nod to sly and the family stone's song "dance to the music". Check that out.

[@dagmar.6954]

John's style of singing or genre is called heartland rock as he sang a lot about blue-collar, farmers & truckers themes. He has had so many hits especially in the 80's such as "Hurts So Good", "Jack & Diane", "Crumblin' Down", "Pink Houses", "Lonely Ol' Night", "Small Town", "R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A.", "Paper &n Fire" etc.

I always thought he said... That's when a smoke was a smoke

[@jeffjones6221]

The high voice is a woman. I'm not sure who, but India Aire did backup on several of his albums. 17 has turned 35

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

I say the lyrics are "that's when a smoke was a smoke"

Love this song and your reaction hearing it! You get his vibe

[@mtdreams72]

Crumblin Down is my favorite song. Small Town. Hurts so Good. Jack and Diane. Scarecrow. So many great songs.

Thats when a "SPORT WAS A SPORT"

[@michaeltipton5500]

This song came out in the late 80's. Even then it was controversial because of the mixed race couple dancing. John is a kind and generous man to many people. He is also an artist that did paintings.

[@LadybugLuv]

I was 17 when the song came out. Your post is the first time I EVER heard of this 'controversy'. Maybe it was just in your community. It got plenty of air time and video rotation. It was almost our prom song, but it got beat out by Bon Jovi Livin' on a Prayer

[@Noelle0026]

When a smoke was a smoke. A smoke meant a cigarette not a joint lol

[@davidturk417]

That's what I thought for years! It's "that's when a sport was a sport".

[@GR65330]

I was about 33 or 34 years old when this song first came out, but now 17 has turned 35 is now 17 has turned 65. This is still one of my favorites by John and I still have it on my playlist.

[@hibhibb5429]

The lyric he was singing was "That's when a sport was a sport" And groovin' was groovin' And dancin' meant everything We were young, and we were improvin'.

[@LadybugLuv]

I know that what the lyrics say, but I always say "That when a smoke was a smoke". I never understood sport was a sport. What does that even mean?

The female voice is Crystal Taliefero. John can't do that.

[@anastasiabeaverhausen516]

John said in interviews that he got death threats for this video. Whoever threatened John didn't realize that he had zero f’s to give.
