![]() Hans from Cambridge, MaThe chorus is kind of jarring in terms of being incongruous from the verses like Mellencamp was forcing two different songs together.Marc from -, MdFirst-ever interview with the girl in this video, including what she's doing now and never-published pics.They hear this often, and they find the guitar in this beautiful. Finding out that it's overplayed just says why that newer band used the guitar chords of this song. I often hear that song in the radio.Today (08-08-2015) I heard this song for the first time, and as soon as I heard its guitar chords and got reminded of that 2010-2014 song, I searched Jack and Diane up. Shandroise De Laeken from Davao City, PhilippinesThere's a song from 2010-2014 which sampled the acoustic guitar chords of this song.Don't get me started on "The Authority Song" ripping off "I Fought the Law." The content of the lyrics of "Jack and Diane" was taken from "The Six Teens" by Sweet, which is OK from a legal vantage, but the lyrics and melody of the chorus (which opens with "But life goes on") is similar enough that if I owned the publishing, I would have sued Mellencamp. Hans from Boston, MaI had posted about this earlier, but Mellencamp's complaint about the 2012 film, "Jack & Diane" "riding his coattails" is really hypocritical.Youh Mahmah from MdYeah, I know Jack and Diane personally! They are my neighbors and say they used to hang out with Mellencamp all the time! Nah I'm just kidding, so STOP SAYING YOU KNOW THEM!!! (directed towards like 10% of the comments here).John from HeartlandWonder what Diane was like and where is the Heartland?.Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind Two American kids doin' the best they can He's saying "Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone" "Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone" "Well then, there, Diane, we ought to run off to the city" Scratches his head, and does his best James Dean Jack he sits back, collects his thoughts for the moment Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone" ![]() "Hey, Diane, let's run off behind the shady trees ![]() Suckin' on chilli dog outside the Tastee Freez The last part of the song revisits the commentary from the first of the song and issues a challenge to younger generations: to try to understand what happiness really is, seek to find it, and never be pigeon-holed into the life that we THINK we should be in.Two American kids growing up in the heart landÄiane's debutante, back seat of Jacky's car It also illustrates the typical things we do to unwind and relax, and comments again on, this is all we know and this is the life we have built for ourselves. Men talk about girls and what they could of had. It goes over the things we do to try to feel young. The second part of the chorus goes over the things we forget about when we are in the grind of daily life: neighbors and friends. In other words, the epitome of happiness in our minds. It also illustrates that this is all we know and this is the life we have built for ourselves because of that. The first part of the chorus goes over the typical "American Dream" scenes: family, marriage, home, bills, losing touch with old friends, and career. The first stanza is a commentary on the idealism of younger generations versus the desire of the rest of us who are "living to be heard", or wanting to feel like their lives are important or mean something more than the mundane existence they are in. I think this song is about the disillusionment of growing up, family, responsibility, and the chase of The American Dream. Maybe they'll have a better understanding I hope, that they have better understanding
