I think, to really appreciate a great early 80s song like this....you had to be there yourself...young...in that unique era. Brings back a lot of memories.
This is a great song. Great song. Ol' John Mellencamp gets a lot of bad stuff said about him, but he's got some really good tunes. Cherry Bomb, Pink Houses, Check It Out... great stuff.
This reminds me of my first love in 1983 Felicia and my first everything we loved this song and each other and I Fd that up I miss that part of my life here's to you felicia ! I still Love you!!!!!!!
whoa, ive always wondered who sang this song and today i stumbled across it, this is one of my favorite songs. this makes my day. The repeat buttons gonna break today.
your fans came to love u because of shit like not even done with the nite or make me feel like i wanna feel and meny more but you shit on the fans of this music when you said you hated doing that music for a paycheck ..o good luck with ur next venture get married again or not u suck now gfus if u havnt already had a fan lost a fan
saw him 3 times in a row in front row seat with my hubby....standing on chair dancing with john and his fiddle player is the bomb...the backup singers sing!!!!!!!!!!wish we could turn back time...
i love this dude.. his songs are amazing:) this and pink houses and jack and diane are mi favs:) like if you agree, and mi dad would have too play them for me too fall asleep:)
I love John Cougar Mellencamp since I was 3 years old my mom and dad said I made them play his records until I feel asleep every night and I'm still a huge fan!!!!Love you, Barbeedoll
dans les années 80 j écoutais du john cougar, au volant de ma chevelle malibu 75, aujourd hui mon fils de 16 ans qui est un musicien tres doué et qui veux démarer un groupe m a demandé de chanter, ce ne sera que du mellencamp...
Back in the 80's a dear friend of mine introduced me to this album,..from then i was hooked on john mellencamp, since then my friend has passed on and each time i hear a john mellencamp song i think of him.. R.I.P. my friend...
I remember being on a first date in college with a very special, new girlfriend. I had such uber-excitement about being with her and the akwardness of not being sure of what to do at the end of the date. Driving back to the dorms after a night of dancing, this song came on the radio and it totally summed up my feelings for that evening. Great memory!
There was a song called Tonight on that same CD. Will someone please make a video with the song even if it's just like the one above and upload it here....one picture only! You don't know how much I would appreciate that!
Seriously, what happened to good ol music like this? This is my favorite song by John Cougar Mellencamp. Bob Wallace / WIH Resource Group - wihrg dot com
Every word of this song reminds me of summer '83 romance. We worked together, and even though we had to be at work every morning at 8:00, we would stay out all night. To paraphrase another tune off the same album, this song is to N.M., wherever she may be.
GREAT Song...Me and my wife were eating luch together and started laughing...our first date in Dec 80 this song came on...31 years later it still takes us back....Great song thanks for posting...
I think people overlook these songs from Cougar (aka Mellencamp) - people remember I Need a Lover and skip to Jack and Diane. To me this is nothing short of fantastic - early 80's - summer - Miller High Life (yes the champagne of beers) a hot 22 year old nurse (I was 18) sunsets in Grand Haven Michigan - aaaahh - HELL TO THE YES

@snoilnaf thts the shit i think about when im stoned especially man haha..except i wasnt a teen in the 80s..sounds fun man..music nowadays sucks straight up
It seems like this song was just played for the first time, I remember it well in the 90's. Still waiting for that slow dance with a special lady, and this great song in the background. Very few singers captured life in their songs like him.
Hell yeah!(: This is what the worlds missing, Good ol dancing music like this! You 5 who disliked this is just hating cause ya don't know how to have a good time!
takes me back to a time when a cuddle, and a kiss was as exciting as going all the way...To be that young again. First date, first kiss, and the feeling of Love that will last forever. Just to find out later it wasnot meant to be.
Forever a favorite...forever a reminder of youth, future dreams, wishes and what might have been. I go back in time everytime I hear this song...a time when the future seemed to hold so much promise. "Well...its time to go home- and I ain't even done with the night.."How true of youth- there was so much to do & we wanted to do it all
I can remember feeling like that I aint even done with the night, back in the 80s. Crusing in my 73 mach 1, red headed beauty by my side. Seemed like just crusing was enough, but had to bring her home sometime. It was great to live in the days of great music. Thank God for CDs. can relive them whenever I want. The memories are great, but the pain of the past remains. Miss those days.
@mach1franco I understand exactly what you mean!! Well said. This song, and all of his music was played often in my Ford V8 coupe with my girlfriend at the time here in Sydney Australia. Life seemed so simple back then, as you say, just cruising, taking in the world! .....I wonder where she is these days?? lol
@whysohardto I see her on facebook, would love to talk to her, but know she has her own life. Would love to know what happened, but guess its not for me to know. 22 years past and shes still there in my mind
@mach1franco. Really? 22 years is a long time. I didnt see mine on facebook but i saw her in the supermarket about 3 years ago. I was with my wife and we passed each other and she said "Hi" and smiled. My wife promptly said, "Who was that?"...I said, "Just an old friend". ha ha good times. I was with her about 17 years ago. Its amazing how time flies huh?
@whysohardto Too fast man. One day your on top of the world, the next, your fighting the world every day. I would love to talk to my old girl, but like I said, she has her own life, would just like to know how it fell apart so fast. we were together for 5 years, then gone. Wow, just like that
Mellencamp should bring this song back around; show these kids how it's done. And yes, high school kids do listen to Mellencamp, I hear JM in the cars and from the Senior lounge from time to time.
@jzikajzika I TOTALLY AGREE, ALONG WITH HIS NEW C.D., REMINDS ME OF SOME REALLY GOOD MEMORIES, LIKE THEY SAY, NOBODY CAN TAKE THOSE FRO YOU!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
the music goes so well with the lyrics...i just turned 21, i work in retail at the moment and this song comes on every night, and it always makes me smile inside. never heard it before.
The music makes you feel good because it is retro------ same sound as some of the 60's music-------- ilivelovenlaugh says-- I miss being a teenager in the 80's
Do you know why this music makes you feel the way it does? Because it is retro---- listen to some 60's style music, you'll see the similarities. 1968, I was a junior in HS. GOOD music, fast street rods, beautiful girls. I could not wait to get older---- now I wish I was back in 68---
just out of high school when this hit. remember it playing on the radio of my '69 vw bug that leaked exhuast in the car thru the rust holes in the floor. and as far as the comments by the kids on here asking if the 80s were really as fun as they seem: Everyone who was there join in now : " YES THEY WERE!"
@ilivelovenlaugh Cant give you enough thumbs up on that one man. I miss the 80s more every day. Never will there be music like this again on the radio,besides the classic station
My friends and I used to ride around in my buddys car on summer nights with no money to do much else (He passed away at 40 yrs old) him banging the beat on his dash with a car load of us singing ... SINGING!.
@jayembeeez Sorry about your friend man, but can relate to the memory. Back to a day when crusing was all you had to do to have a good time. Im 44, and this brings back great memories of going to baton rouge for the day and doing nothing but riding around singing and talking to girls. That was a great evening. Take care, and keep those momories fresh in your mind. That keeps your friend alive.

@mach1franco. Really? 22 years is a long time. I didnt see mine on facebook but i saw her in the supermarket about 3 years ago. I was with my wife and we passed each other and she said "Hi" and smiled. My wife promptly said, "Who was that?"...I said, "Just an old friend". ha ha good times. I was with her about 17 years ago. Its amazing how time flies huh?

@whysohardto Too fast man. One day your on top of the world, the next, your fighting the world every day. I would love to talk to my old girl, but like I said, she has her own life, would just like to know how it fell apart so fast. we were together for 5 years, then gone. Wow, just like that

Mellencamp should bring this song back around; show these kids how it's done. And yes, high school kids do listen to Mellencamp, I hear JM in the cars and from the Senior lounge from time to time.

The only John Mellencamp song I REALLY liked. But it's a great little song (to me). And hard to find. Thanks very much for posting it.

The music makes you feel good because it is retro------ same sound as some of the 60's music-------- ilivelovenlaugh says-- I miss being a teenager in the 80's
Not as much as I miss being one in the 60's !

Do you know why this music makes you feel the way it does? Because it is retro---- listen to some 60's style music, you'll see the similarities. 1968, I was a junior in HS. GOOD music, fast street rods, beautiful girls. I could not wait to get older---- now I wish I was back in 68---

just out of high school when this hit. remember it playing on the radio of my '69 vw bug that leaked exhuast in the car thru the rust holes in the floor. and as far as the comments by the kids on here asking if the 80s were really as fun as they seem: Everyone who was there join in now : " YES THEY WERE!"

@ilivelovenlaugh Cant give you enough thumbs up on that one man. I miss the 80s more every day. Never will there be music like this again on the radio,besides the classic station

My friends and I used to ride around in my buddys car on summer nights with no money to do much else (He passed away at 40 yrs old) him banging the beat on his dash with a car load of us singing ... SINGING!.

@jayembeeez Sorry about your friend man, but can relate to the memory. Back to a day when crusing was all you had to do to have a good time. Im 44, and this brings back great memories of going to baton rouge for the day and doing nothing but riding around singing and talking to girls. That was a great evening. Take care, and keep those momories fresh in your mind. That keeps your friend alive.
