little ditty about Jack and Diane

Princess Alice · 2012-05-19 23:39:37

who are these people and why do we care

*murderous rampage, then sipping of iced tea*

Salix Babylonika · 2012-05-19 23:41:13

two kids growin' up in the heartland.

obviously.

Tre · 2012-05-19 23:45:50

I always laugh at the fact that someone seriously calls himself "John Cougar Mellencamp".

Princess Alice · 2012-05-19 23:47:44

You know when I was a kid I thought "heartland" meant Ohio because our license plates said "The Heart of it All!"

but isn't that his name

Tre · 2012-05-20 02:44:07

It's the "Cougar" part.

I'm not fully sure, but I doubt that Mr. and Mrs. Mellencamp gave him that middle name.

Justice4243 · 2012-05-20 03:01:42

"Life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone", is a horrible lyric.

Mega_Magikarp · 2012-05-21 20:40:51

When I was a kid, I always thought that it said "the thread of living is gone". Which I guess sorta kinda makes sense, but not really.

...I also always get this song confused with Sweet Home Alabama, for some reason.

Soooo if you got a problem, pick up the telephone
For the guns 'n glory cowboys from the twilight zone

Imipolex G · 2012-05-21 21:17:26

I hate almost everything John Cougar Mellencamp has ever done.

Seriously, just not my thing. At all

Salix Babylonika · 2012-05-21 21:47:25

mass amounts of John Mellancamp hate out of freakin' nowhere, man.

Imipolex G · 2012-05-21 21:48:06

Damn straight.

Justice4243 · 2012-05-21 21:50:29

HE DESERVES IT...possibly.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-05-21 21:51:11

Name a John Mellancamp album without the use of a search engine or Wikipedia

I dares ya.

Princess Alice · 2012-05-21 21:53:14

John Cougar Mellencamp's Deliciously Homoerotic Bakery Adventure

...What? You just said I had to name it, not that it had to be real.

John Cougar Mellencamp's Latest Pile of Godawful Suck

Justice4243 · 2012-05-21 21:55:22

Does he have a self titled album?!

'Cause I'm betting on that.

Justice4243 · 2012-05-21 21:56:45

"John Cougar" and "John Mellencamp"

I'll count that as being half right twice for a full right.

Princess Alice · 2012-05-21 21:56:47

Yeah, I almost just said "John Cougar" because I figured that would be a safe bet for an album title.

Also, am I the only one who, when I hear a song obviously about sex like "Hurts So Good", likes to imagine the singer is addressing someone of the same gender?

Sometimes you have to ignore a couple pronouns, but it works.

This gets funnier the more I read it.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-05-21 21:59:26

Nobody liked Billy Joel when I brought him up the other day either.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLEEEEEE

Princess Alice · 2012-05-21 21:59:42

^^ you shouldn't have said that

because i totally have the mind of a 5-year-old who likes to repeat the same thing over and over because someone thought it was funny the one time

^ I like Billy Joel!

Imipolex G · 2012-05-21 22:00:30

Billy Joel is the other one I can't stand.

I wonder if there are any musicians that Lazuli and I both like. Seems less likely all the time

Justice4243 · 2012-05-21 22:01:03

^^^We obviously hate America...Or that genre of music...

Though I've heard some Billy Joel songs that I've liked.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-05-21 22:02:45

Billy Joel songs I like: pretty much fucking all of them.

I wonder if there are any musicians that Lazuli and I both like. Seems less likely all the time

hold on a moment.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-05-21 22:11:46

okay, I was going to try to screencap my entire music library

that's uh

apparently not possible given the current canvas limit of MS Paint

HOWEVER

I do recall you saying you like the Beatles, who I also like.

Also do you like the Flecktones.

Imipolex G · 2012-05-21 22:13:53

Beatles were great, sure. Never listened to the Flecktones.

Princess Alice · 2012-05-21 22:15:14

Flecktones

Meet the Flecktones

They're the modern stone-age family

Salix Babylonika · 2012-05-21 22:15:17

Jazz fusion band.

Frontman plays a banjo for some reason.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-05-21 22:15:56

ooh

what about The Doors? I have a live tape of The Doors I got from my library forever ago.

Seems to be a bootleg recording, tracklist is handwritten and everything.

Imipolex G · 2012-05-21 22:18:45

Maybe I'll try to list my favorites just for the hell of it: Rush, Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Megadeth, Soundgarden, Yes, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Sunn O))), Boris, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, Black Sabbath, Melvins, Metallica, Electric Wizard, David Bowie, High on Fire, Jethro Tull, Monster Magnet, Kyuss, Mastodon, The Who, Hendrix, Deep Purple, and anything out of the thrash metal and stoner metal genres.

Imipolex G · 2012-05-21 22:19:14

And the inevitable ninja. The Doors' first album is great; my interest gradually wanes after that.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-05-21 22:20:54

Hm, we don't have a lot in common, no.

I like both Yes and Rush, but am not terribly familiar with either of their work. I've sampled Kyuss before but am not really too big on them.

I like what stoner metal I've heard, but that's not a whole lot.

They are two kids from Sweet Home Alabama

</also mixes up the two songs on occassion>

Imipolex G · 2013-06-01 13:17:19

how can you get these two songs mixed up

other than they both suck

Obā-san · 2013-06-01 13:37:00

I am so happy i have literally no clue what songs are being referred to here.

Apart from Sweet Home Alabama, i have been subjected to that.

Seriously Alabama. Ick.

RocketRunner · 2013-06-01 18:18:44

What's the matter with the car I'm drivin', can't you tell that it's out of style

Icalasari · 2013-06-01 19:11:25

Wait, no, it wasn't Sweet Home Alabama that I mixed up with this one, it was Journey's "Don't Stop Believing"

I'd sometimes start Don't Stop Believing with the notes from the little ditty one then go, "...wait..."

Also, I like both the little ditty song and sweet home :<

RocketRunner · 2013-06-01 20:19:43

Oh, the wheel in the wheel keeps on wheelin'

Previous Calica · 2013-06-02 08:43:22

I think the reason he went by John Cougar Mellencamp is that he wanted to be John Mellencamp but the record company wanted him to be John Cougar.

Over a year has passed but this is still very true.

Some things just never change.

Maybe it's a metaphor for the song itself.
