  • besides van morrison, best version

  • Um, to both of you guys. . . I'm sorry but Meshell has been around for ages and continues to make music, including an album just released. 10 Grammy nominations! Hello! Going to see her perform tonight in Seattle

  • Very liberating to see these two lesbians dancing ! You go girls !

  • i l.ove this song!!! great memories

  • vevo sucks dick

  • XCELLENT VIDEO!!!!.. NOW THATS ...LIFE KICKIN IT R&R STYLE.. WOW!!!

  • always luvd Mellencamp...Me'Shell also kicks ass from when i saw her 1st as well!!!!!!

  • One of the coolest dudes with one of the coolest chicks = MAGIC!

  • Where's the lady in the cab?

  • @MsAlleybear Mellencamp made two music videos for Wild Night. This one's just Me'Shell and John and the other one has the clips of the taxi driver picking up people partying. They both should be on here.

  • they do a great job of this van morrison tune! i love Me'Shell-she can sing and is funky funky on that bass. thank you soso much for posting this song and video!!!!!!

  • I like this so much better than videos I see today. Some of them look like they were made in the garage, only that was not the intent. This is just good, clean music, no frills.

  • GREAT STUFF. They sound GREAT together!

  • I wish they had done a hell of a lot more collaboration. It's very obvious that they both enjoy the heck out of themselves doing this. Certainly, most of this is staged, but those unstaged moments are the tasty cream at the top of the cup. Plus it helps that he's a great songwriter and singer, and she's a simply fantastic bassist.

  • @ShadrachWTF He DIDN'T write it. It was written by a man who actually IS a great songwriter Van Morrison...give it a listen..

  • @ridingroy Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads-up man. Nevertheless, you do have to admit that this duo does a hell of a good job on this song.

  • @ShadrachWTF Just a matter of taste.Many people like this version which is good because it brought new attention to the great Van Morrison from a younger generation One critic wrote that Bruce Springsteen based his whole career on this one Van Morrison song ! Silly but he was and is an influence on many performers. Listen to John Mayer, god he sounds like Van on some tunes !

  • Yes I like it alot !

    What else could I say ?

  • Five people have early curfew.

  • This is fantastic.

    I love to see these two musicians simply enjoying their art and each other.

  • Can anyone say Collective Soul Understandings opening guitar riff doesnt sound like this Van Morrison cover by John Cougar? :)

  • what an awful cover of an amazing song.

  • @RPSSTS I agree yes it is dreadful...no comparison to the original...

  • I like this better than any other John Mellencamp recording I've heard so far: it sounds as if he finally picked the perfect song for his style of performance.

  • What city is this in the video?

  • Probably B-town (Bloomington) Indiana.

  • They managed to take all the soul out of this great Van Morrison song with a mechanical groove and lame vocals..".give it your best white shit John"...

  • classic, john and me'shell, wow, top drawer.

  • Boy, I love this song and it makes me rock the 90's

  • What a fun song! I remember I was really young when I first heard it. It's still good. Friday night is calling. lol

  • this is such a funky beat and two talented artists !

  • This is better than alright. And Me'Shell's bass drags is in a funky direction. Damn she's sexy!

  • BUENISIMA cancion

    PS. me caga VEVO :-P

  • Wow... EVERYTHING about this video (and song) is right. Me'Shell Ndegeocello is amazing on bass, and a little sassy, and the two of them are great together. They're having a lot of fun, and the music shows that. So rare to see a music video that's raw, fun, and kicks a^^. It just plain works, and is a classic!

  • That was the last U.S Top 10 hit by the great rocker John Cougar featuring Meshell. The song made it the # 3 on the Billboard Charts in the summer of 1994.

    Thank you VEVO for up load this vid in H:Q.

  • I love Me'Shell Ndegeocello she plays a funky bass, sings with a melodic smokey voice and can move with grace and sexy sass. This is Mellencamp's best tune, because she is in it.

  • @hoosierarcher Without John Melloncamp .. she would not even be known to the public... and if she ever leaves him, it will be right back to being Mitchelll who?

  • @WiseGuyDogs1 She has a following in Europe. I conceed your point as regards America.

  • @WiseGuyDogs1 I think John would disagree seeing how this was the exact point his career came back to life! She was very known before this song. And you spelled his name wrong. Hard to read with your head up your butt isn't it?

  • @libbyrock123 .... Its hard to write also, with my head up my butt. Besides, I don't need you to make me look like a dumb ass here on You Tube. I am perfectly capable of doing that on my own Thank You very much. I can prove I am an idiot without your help. Mellen? Not Mellon.. Hmmm... Just because his family spells Mellencamp without and O.. don't mean I am wrong.. Duhhh.. the O could be slient.. It could be MellainKamp... like in the old country. I am not sure which country. But a big 1

  • @WiseGuyDogs1 I really wasn't trying to make you look dumb I just thought your comment was a little wrong. It seems like you're biased to me. All I was really saying is that both artists are great and they are both well known and talented.

  • im related to this guy

  • @flygy5 How blessed are you to be related.

  • haha

  • nice cover

  • This song has such a catchy rythmn, its superb. Love the Bass line!

  • Dance Naked, everybody!

  • I love Me'Shell N love her voice this is the best ever I think John should do more duets with her at least they could both sing unlike the crappy ones out today

  • The bass line in this song is awesome! He'll always be John Cougar!

  • this woman is fucking amazing!!

  • She is such an incredible bass player!!

  • Love the song.. love the duet but 2 things I've never understood. 1. They both have raspy voices that compliment each other so well, why haven't they done other songs together?? and 2. what is up with the sleeveless vests? LOL was this a fashion fad I missed? All kidding aside, I love this cover of the classic Van Morrison song.

  • Although he's not bad at all, in this cover, if it was JUST him, Van blows him away. Adding her makes this a new song, and a great one.

  • i fucking hate VEVO

  • Me'Shell is actually a male name in Africa

  • This is it! I've been looking for this song for 10 years.

  • Great version!

  • @MsLongtimegone Her name's Me'Shell Ndegeocello

  • Another classic song. Love IT!!

  • Shout out from Seymour Indiana, Home of Johnny Cougar!

  • hot damn. Why have I never seen this video? love it

  • They were soooo good :D
