"Jack and Diane" is a very interesting song with a great melody you would really like about small town America and young love. Little Pink Houses is referring to the trend of house builders to build so many look alike houses in suburban neighborhoods in middle America.

[@kenqb5450]

John could be considered a voice of the small towns. He has so many great songs just a few, "Small Town", "Rain on the Scarecrow", "Jack and Diane", and "Hurts So Good". The scenery was from central Indiana around his hometown. I think I heard that he saw a pink house along side of an interstate and the song grew out of that vision.

[@alanonder2955]

Your very close. Actually he was driving along the Interstate and he saw a black man sitting on a porch of a house and the black man waved at him and John waved back. The reference of the Pink Houses I believe is too his grandfather who after World War 2 was involved with building houses for soldiers coming home from the War. They were painted Pink.

[@atuuschaaw]

I believe it's in reference to the "American Dream", or lack there of. ♥

[@marniethedyslexic6445]

I absolutely love this song.❤️✌️🌼

[@conniekat3424]

Oh John is a great rabbit hole to go down...lot's of great hits! I was hooked from the moment I heard 'Hurt So Good'. ❤

[@ricklabonte2775]

John is from rural Indiana and in the video he’s dancing in a field of soybeans, the whole video is picture by picture the northern Midwest!

[@jonathancunningham4159]

It's funny you bring up the Mick Jagger reference. John was asked in an interview to describe his dancing, and he said it's like a "clumsy Mick Jagger". Great video!

[@ThistleAndSea]

JCM is a small tow southern Indiana boy, and his songs definitely caught that Americana angst. Good stuff, Tasha! 🙂

[@mikebarnett9012]

Hey Tasha, Thanks patrons for a great choice. You are so right Tasha John is a slice of Americana. His has so many good songs I like , "Ain't Even Done With The Night".

[@dollcf6722]

I was born in 68' and I can remember growing up my Mama would tell me that after I was born she and Dad lived in a pink house, drove a pink car and had a baby girl. Lol.

[@j1974f]

Great reaction!

[@joeterp5615]

A great little patriotic rock’n song!

[@UniversalBlackRocker]

Happy Monday homie! This is a classic 80s song right there. I remember MTV did the contest based on the song and video. It was called the "Paint The Mutha Pink" contest.

[@jd8444]

Paper in fire, is a jam by him worth checking out

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

That was a giant pumpkin. LOL

As a big rail buff, who's loved trains, both full sized, and models since I was a small child, I like railroad scenes in the video, especially the Chessy loco. The railroad scenes kind of show how important the railroads are to linking the different parts of the country together, transporting the products, and the raw materials to make those products, that make a big diverse country like ours work. Our railroad workers, and truck drivers are like the blood cells in a vast circulatory system, feeding the body and different organs with life giving oxygen.

[@tasblade1]

John has many good songs..Glad to see a reaction to this song.I believe the old gentleman was holding a big Pumpkin.

[@labchic97]

I love John Mellencamp! Lots of great songs as mentioned in the comments.

[@gerardog2663]

That's my favorite song of his. You described what your reaction was to the lyrics, but how about the music? I love this song.

[@Lightning61]

He grew up around Kokomo, IN, and I believe the majority of the locations in the video were shot in the area. Thanks for bringing back some very fond memories of stomping around that neck of the woods in my younger days!

[@Indy1831]

John grew up in Seymour,In………Lives in Bloomington,In now.

[@Lightning61]

@@Indy1831 I didn't say "in" Kokomo, and the reason I said "around" is because I remember an interview from back in the day where he actually spoke quite a bit about Kokomo from his past.

[@jamestate5059]

You need to do Rain On The Scarecrow and Small Town by John.

[@josephhall1241]

Great song and Artist. Great Reaction

[@terrymccluskey8758]

Check out ( check it out ) paper and fire both from John meloncamp

[@Summermute7]

Soooo many good songs to choose from. I think “Peaceful World” would be up your alley because of the good message and vibe. Mellencamp duets on that one with India Arie.

Please react to Jackie Brown by John Mellencamp

[@kevinf8323]

I think pink houses are kinda obvious and represent the American Dream. That's what I thought of back in the 80's. Maybe people back then thought that was lame back then but I think a lot of people would like them today. Better than a tiny house!

[@kevinfitzpatrick586]

"Little pink houses" is this: It would be wrong to complain, but is this really all we get? And if it is all we get, SHOULD it be all we get? And, on the other hand, there's nothing in the song that suggests that we've done anything to deserve more. "Little pink houses" is a silly image that profoundly asks us to consider everything about ourselves, our lives, and our country.
