omg i wasent born till 89 but i think this song was wrote about me!!!!! i always listen to this when i move from town to town calm bakin my car out!!!
It's about a party girl that is always fun to be around but she needs change cause she gets bored and goes a bit crazy when in the same place to long. She likes drink and doing drugs but that kind of life style can make you depressed. So she takes off randomly and moves around a lot she running from life and is scared of getting hurt but at the same time wants the normal life. She's a great person and everyone that meets her loves her. Yet she can't stay long.
The song and the video are playing on two very different meanings of this song.. the actual meaning not shown in the video would be Mary Jane as slang for marijuana...
the video isn't playing on a different meaning... he compares Marijuana with a beautiful woman who gives nothing back. He uses marijuana and the woman to make a point.
Damn. I like this song but the music video is creepy as hell. There's another song of his I liked that the music video creeped me out. Was Alice in Wonderland, can't remember which song. Is this typical for Petty?
Haha. You say Tom is the man like I disagree. I love Tom Petty's music. its just I have never watched many music videos and the only two of his I'd seen are creepy as hell to me.
"RHCP Stole The Beat From Tom Petty, What The Hell Are You Talking About, This Came Out Way Before Dani California, Tom Petty Should Sue Them."
He tried, but he didn't win, as only the tempo and the chords were the same. The bass and the drums were different, and the other parts of the song are totally different. Both great songs in their own right.
actually tom petty did try to sue red hot chili peppers cuz if you listen to the lyrics of dani california they are very similar i don't know if he won the lawsuit or not though
You're all fucking idiots for worrying about it. Who gives a shit who did what, since both songs are, you know, enjoyable. Just get a fucking life already and stop bitching about every little Goddamned thing. You're like a buncha whiney over indulged spoiled little brats! JESUS CHRIST GET OVER YOURSELVES ALREADY! ALL OF YOU!
Now I gotta say if you were really a fan of Tom Petty you'd understand that his beliefs are to stay away from profanity if used in a manner of hate. LOL
For less confuesion....Hey everybody! doesn't the intro to this sound close to Dani California by the Red Hot Chili Peppers? just by coincedence? and not that anyone stole from anyone? just mere coincedence? yeah i think so....
Yeah, they sound similar. I doubt Frusciante was actually even thinking about this song when he wrote his riff, but he prolly had it stuck in the back of his head and so he wrote something similar. The other possibility is that he sampled this song, but the riffs aren't exactly the same so it doesn't really matter.
they are close, but from a guitarist's standpoint, they are different. the chords in mary janes last dance go am, g, d, am while dani california goes am, g, dm, am. close, but not exact.
very true, they are very simular. only difference between the two is the D chord. on Dani California it's a Dm, and on this song it's just a D. it's sheer coincodence. Frusciante actually said that he was trying to rip off a Wu-Tang Clan beat for Dani California.
i'm not accusing anyone of plagarism, i'm decifering the chords that are played in the song. as far as facts go rick rubin produced wildflowers and stadium arcadium and i'm sure he would of said something clairifying. RHCP are some of the greatest songwriters in the world as well. if anything.... if the things could be represented of anything that is any, it's a coincidence. sweet home alabama you know?
ok retard i didn't accuse anybody if you read my comment is says that music repeats itself. in which it does. i posted a comment on both vidoes this one and dani califronia saying they sound alike so people looking at both songs will see it. not accusing anyone. did i ever say that RHCP stole this song or intro? and i never said anything was fact. i said the intros sound alike. don't waiste my time with your retarted comments.
Hahaha, chill out man. EVERY song in the world copies something already written. Music isn't broad enough to make something new anymore. I was under the impression you were accusing Tom. Obviously you weren't, but I wanted to make sure u knew that it was impossible for Tom to have copied rhcp. Odds are Tom DID copy something, but not rhcp.
LUV the tom petty! truly one of kind! when this vid came out @the time..it was morbid and rockin @the same time nobody could ever copy tom's style!!!!!!!!!
tom petty is so awesome i randomly think sometimes i wonder wat tom petty is doing right now i dunno why but because of that i've grown to like tom petty
i love this song. my dad got me listing to this song. and durring the summer time me and my dad have cook outs, go camping, hang out with friends and a LOT more things!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok call me crazy but i fucking thought this was bob dylan whenever i heard this song on the radio, wtf its tom petty? that is just a huge shock still a cool song
He toured with Dylan in 1987 and that influenced him, but he had already been very sucessful previously. They've been a headlining act since 1979. This song was written during the Full Moon Fever/Wilburies time period.
He and Bob sound great together, they compliment each other's voices.
Definitely tops my fave music list :)
