[mattnboise]

[djk28161]

what is it with the jap writing?

[2tomhardy]

凄くダサいけど好き♪思わず何度も観てしまう。（笑）

[der2035]

2nd favorite John Cougar song ever!

[TheJodyford]

OMFG

[kcdrew69]

great song.

worst choreography ever? :)

Mo Rage, the blog

[313pookie313]

he was more adorable when he's dressed preppy and clean :)

[jest2525]

Laugh all you want but this is probably the performance that launched his career! Us old folk remember the performance as if it was yesterday... and it was great... back then.

[LedHed65]

I love John Cougar and this song, but this has got to be the cheesiest video ive ever seen...LMAO!

[TheBrickyardnut]

This should have been a live video with the band playing instead of this ! I love the song hate the video !

[bunnellscabinets]

greatest song... sorry performance...



[bunnellscabinets]

white people in pink tuxedos singing a soul song???????????

john is great... but who came up with this crap....

john is to good for this garbage.... must be so stupid producer...

[cripsyfrenchflies]

I watched this when I was a kid and LOVE seeing it again.



[CaptApril]

And I thought the video for this song was bizarre...

[HealthCuration]

I cant stop laughing!

[0136ron]

緊張で声が擦れてますね

動きもぎこちない

でもこんな事を経て自分を確立していかれるんでしょうねアーティ­ストというものは

とにかくジョン・メレンキャンプさんは自分の人生に多大な影響を­与えて下さった恩人といっても

過言でないくらい、私にとっては偉大な人物なのです。

偉大なる本物の男であり芸術家、ミスター・メレンキャンプの今後­の御多幸を祈ります。

[Hot80s]

Thank you John for your Raw, non-auto tune voice. Authentic.

[80sjamming]

ROFL...I'm so glad I didn't see this back in the 80s....I might have missed out on a lot of great John Cougar music if I had.

[johnjms2]

Crowd looks like they are frozen, or at a funeral. Looks like a real fun event. Nice pink tux's though. UGH. Terrible fashion, terrible hair, TERRIBLE choreography. The only thing saving this is the SONG.

[bomberini]

WTF is the crowd doing???

[LustMord2021]

I can't believe this song is that old.. =/ great song..

[MagicMando]

Wow !! hehe ya I bet he had to do that kickin and screamin

[danielc121162]

@MagicMando yeah no shit,.. laughed my ass off at yer comment

[djk28161]

Perfect akward adolescence song

[ROCKnROLL1406]

Great Song...

[ksxv8400]

Ya, the music is a track, because I believe all the dudes in the pink are his band. Obviously he's really singing it tho, don't think anyone would want to lip sync to a recorded version with a lyric screw up.

[Smokey0791]

you can tell it's lip sync'd ... the guy in the pink tuxedo couldn't possibly make that saxaphone sound by mouth

[ksxv8400]

Almost like watching a train wreck in progress, but John Cougar has put out some amazing music! He'll always be one of my favorites, and this is one of his best songs ever! Love the lyric mess-up, love how he almost falls at times, and I even like his strange little body-spasm at 0.34. He was definitely feeling good this night!

[markbhoward]

"Gee, I like the song, but why does this suck so bad?" the audience is stunned.

[jussyuendme]

love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[myowntruth44]

What a effin pimp!! And his band is right behind him gettin some. This vid rulezz))

[bjbuschman2]

love the song but the dancers seem a little fagulous

[judacia]

love those James Brown moves!

[kybigd1]

Didn't I see this same act on the Carol Burnette Show? Yes ,I am pretty sure that is where I first saw John Cougar and they did the same song with the same Pink Tuxedos.Thank you for bringing back fantastic memories.

[peggysriley1]

This is the greatest! thank you! Love those pink suits!

[peggysriley1]

This is the greatest! thank you!

[berjanyfrisa21blue]

Amei a musica, os dançarinos de rosa e todo o ritmo. de mas!!!

[JCMIMPERSONATOR]

AMA AWARDS???

[debandana]

@JCMIMPERSONATOR Right. Added info.

[roadglide21]

I liked this video. It was nice to se Bobby Bare in the audience. Loved the way John dressed, and his hairstyle. Liked the pink tuxedo's too! Great video. Where was he singing?

[finelame44]

j'adore,un grand merci!

[Blambley68]

I think he almost fell...LOL.

[iluvhou]

He's so pretty. Great voice! Love you John.

[shanroonqaz]

Yes he is sooooo pretty and a great dancer too!! luv him!

[nobodady1]

John Cougar with

the Pink Tux Brigade

[indianajones765]

this song reminds me of a special time, and young lady, back when this song came out

[Blambley68]

awesome clip...  God Bless all you in Japan.

[BeefSatan]

cheesy, but i love John cOUGAR...

[0136ron]

ビデオといいこのステージと言いふざけてんのか！と言いたい間抜­けさでジョンさんが気の毒ですな

なんやねんこのバックダンサー

しかし曲は凄まじいくらい素晴らしい！

この後アメリカン・フールでブレイクするのだがその前から信じら­れないくらいの名曲を数多く唄っていらっしゃる

最後の照れ笑いに人柄が現れてますな

[cfonthehill]

His voice is live for a fact. Just after the sax part he forgets where he's at in the song and messes up the words

[mistermattmoose]

he looks like jack lord from hawaii 5-0. are chin, kono, danny and duke the dancers?

[djtommytune]

@mistermattmoose ........Love the reference to Jack Lord......Classic.  Book him Dan-O!!!

[1999BlackDakotaRT]

@mistermattmoose Yep at 3:06 he screwed up the lyrics a little bit...lol

[Hazysummer]

I remember watching this way back when. Nearly 30 years....

[notevenhere]

Wow. He really paid his dues.

[ralphieboyhombre]

Great, Real,. no special effects. Shades of micheal jackson dancing.Everything these days is so photoshopped

[johnSAN33]

そうですね、わたしもジョンの大ファンなので、「見たかった」な­んて言ってしまいましたが、ジョンにとっては見られたくない演奏­でしょうね。なんでもレコード会社とマネージャーがいやがるジョ­ンを説得して出演させたそうですが、ご覧のとおり、緊張しまくり­、床がすべってステップもうまくいかず、あまりの屈辱で心臓発作­が起きたと思い、このあと病院に行ったと自伝に書いてあります。­でもこのような失敗（本人にとっては）があるから今のジョンがい­るのかなとも思います。私もこのライブ、ジョンのダンスがやっぱ­りかっこいいし、素のジョンが見られるような気がして、何回も見­てしまいます。

[handyandy75]

John's vocals are live... music is not.

[SPICESMUGGLER71]

This is anything but live.

[Dylmyster6992]

@SPICESMUGGLER71 If you listen at certain parts you can hear when he sings too loudly into the microphone, or when the note stops short cause he's out of breath so i'm pretty sure it's live.

[finlesstk]

This is awesome .. I smiled all the way through

[johnSAN33]

これは貴重な映像ですね。ジョンの自伝でこの演奏のことを知って­、見たかったのでとてもうれしいです。バンドの人たちピンクの衣­装もさることながら、ジョンはどこかのボンボンかと思いました。­これはジョンが自分の路線を確立する直前のものですね。ジョンに­とってはこの演奏は屈辱で、自分のやりかたでいくと決めた転機だ­ったそうですね。

[debandana]

@johnSAN33 自伝に？そうだったんですか・・・。裏にそんなお話があるとは全­然知りませんでした。貴重なお話聞かせていただきありがとうござ­います。「この演奏は屈辱」だったと言われると、なんだか申し訳­ない気持ちになります。私はこの曲素直に好きですしこのライブも­（他人事かもしれませんが）とてもかわいくて好きなんですけど・­・・。ご本人には不本意なんですね・・・。

[johnSAN33]

@johnSAN33 こちらに返事お書きするべきたったのですね。すみません。YOU­TUBEにコメントするのもお返事するのも初めてだったもので、­下記の欄にお返事かいてしまいました。　もう一度書かせていただきます。たしかにdebandanaさん­のおっしやるとおり、この映像はジョンにとっては思い出したくな­いものかもしれません。私ばジョンのファンなので、というか、ジ­ョンのファンなのにこの映像を「見たかった」とか「見れてうれし­かった」つい言ってしまいました。でもこの失敗（ジョンにとって­は）があるから今のジョンがいるのかなという気もします。

[katerinasdiary]

too pink for tuxedos! ;)

[kinjitou1000]

いとおしい曲だぁ。
