I think it's the best song on the record, but hey -- what do I know?

Records I'd Forgotten Existed, Let Alone Loved: An Occasional Feature (Special Fuck "Jack and Diane" Edition)
From 1985, and the deservedly smash hit Scarecrow album, please enjoy John Mellencamp and band with their oddly less familiar ode to that 1920s kind of dirty sexual wink-wink automotive accesssory the "Rumble Seat."

Not a Mellencamp fan, but ya gotta love 'R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.,' complete with Twilley-esque bg vox and an ocarina solo!
I saw John & band two years later in 1987 for The Lonesome Jubilee tour, and damn it was good! His band was total kick-down-the -door, and the set list was dominated by Scarecrow & Jubilee songs. Funny guy too as he told us he was disheartened to see Beatles "Revolution" used in that Nike sneakers commercial, and now his "worst nightmare was waking up on a Saturday morning 20 years from now and seeing two Pop Tarts on TV coming up to one of his songs!"
Yes. One PopTart would be 'Jack' and the other 'Diane.'
Phil- too funny
