The "uggo weird lady" you're referring to is the late, great Edith Massey. The weirdness of the video can only be explained if you're hip enough to know who the piano player is. If you don't, then there's no point in trying to explain it. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
hahaha, flashback to music videos on HBO between movies..pre Mtv days. but only by a few months...When M meant Music TV....oh well, nothing stays the same...tanks for posting.
John was always my all-time SUPER fav until he changed the lyrics to Small Town!!! Fu*** that he married Elaine, and divorced homegirl. When you put your song out to the public...WE own it!!!! Fu** that...we all have past relationships. Get a grip!!!! John calls himself keeping it so real...show me!!!
These two songs rule! I know John isn't paritcularly proud of them, becuase they do borrow a lot and carry the same formulaic or generic hooks as many other pop songs.
But these song have his personal spin/energy on music and his incomparable voice.
John shouldn't really be ashamed of any of his music.
I know John "Cougar" Mellencamp doesn't particulary care for this song and cringes if/when he hears it...But I love it and still have a soft spot for it after all these years. Sweet memories.
Story of my life with the genders reversed.....I used to lie to them, and I'd kiss them, but I kept an arm's length away - ahhh it all catches up to you and one day, someone knocked me sideways, and there were no lies or distance needed.
yup....changed his name and his sound once he had "made it"......totally agree!

For me, it's his first three hits that I like best by John. I need a lover, This time, and this song Ain't even done with the night.
