Jack and Diane, by John (Cougar) Mellencamp.
This song came up in a thread this week about…. uhhhhmmmmm… Alvin and the Chipmunks? I’m… not going to explain.
Anyway.
Jack and Diane.
I owned this album on vinyl when it was, like, contemporary? I was a small child. Loved this song, though. Literally have gone almost 40 years of my life without knowing the full lyrics to this in any way that approached accuracy, and I’ll forget the unimportant bits 30 seconds after it finishes uploading. “Suckin’ on chili dog” is the important part.

Got the microphone situation correct tonight, figured out a version of the little lick, doubled that one guitar part with something bigger, and added the silly drum fill, which is the happiest moment in it for me.
