Gosh, I had the misfortune of hearing this ditty in a restaurant earlier this evening, I had been blissfully spending the last 15 years w/o any memory of it. I mean, was there ever a more pedestrian hack than mr. cougar? OK, that's a bit over the top, he did sweeten a lot of his dreck with some semi-decent hooks, but the lyrics??? and the phony everyman schtick??? this has got to be one of his weaker "hits" - tell me i'm wrong...

R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A. - John Cougar Mellencamp

They come from the cities
And they come from the smaller towns
Beat up cars with guitars and drummers
Goin crack boom bam
Chorus
R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.
R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.
R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A., Yeah, Yeah!
Rockin' in the U.S.A.
Said goodbye to their families
Said goodbye to their friends
With pipe dreams in their heads
And very little money in their hands
Some are black and some are white
Ain't to proud to sleep on the floor tonight
With the blind faith of Jesus you know that they just might, be
Rockin' in the U.S.A.Hey!
Voices from nowhereAnd voices from the larger towns
Filled our head full of dreams
Turned the world upside downT
here was Frankie Lyman-Bobby Fuller-Mitch Ryder(They were Rockin')Jackie Wilson-Shangra-las-Young Rascals(They were Rockin')
Spotlight on Martha Reeves
Let's don't forget James BrownRockin' in the U.S.A.Rockin' in the U.S.A.
Hey!Chorus

Mellencamp was thoughtful enough not to appear in the video at all, as all the main characters are played by members of his backup band.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 27 March 2006 02:32 (twenty years ago)

I mean, was there ever a more pedestrian hack than mr. cougar

Hush, you. You've never heard the rest of Scarecrow, which sounds better (tougher, sparer, with a band led by a guitarist as good as Springsteen himself) than the rest of the overrated Springsteen's work from the same period.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Monday, 27 March 2006 02:51 (twenty years ago)

i like how the names he mentions aren't obvious "rock" stuff - i.e. instead of chuck berry and little richard, it's frankie lyman and the shangri-las. it's also pretty cool that he didn't forget james brown.

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Monday, 27 March 2006 02:54 (twenty years ago)

Ha! Faint praise from where I sit. (and I have heard the singles off Scarecrow at least)

― timmy tannin (pompous), Monday, 27 March 2006 02:57 (twenty years ago)

Then I hope you love "Rain on the Scarecrow."

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Monday, 27 March 2006 03:03 (twenty years ago)

seriously one of the worst songs, though I agree that the name-checking section is surprisingly unpredictable.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Monday, 27 March 2006 03:03 (twenty years ago)

mellencamp's best moment is "crumblin down" - easily one of the best singles of the '80s. "rain on the scarecrow" is real good too. alfred is right that springsteen's work from that era is overrated (unless he means nebraska, in which case NO WAY DUDE), most of born in the usa sounds like bruce imitating himself. though "dancing in the dark" is still a fantastic single.

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Monday, 27 March 2006 03:08 (twenty years ago)

xpost

yeah, it's definitely better.

― timmy tannin (pompous), Monday, 27 March 2006 03:13 (twenty years ago)

Ugh, if there's anything worse than wannabe rockers, it's the romanticization of wannabe rockers. This song stinks to heaven.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Monday, 27 March 2006 03:43 (twenty years ago)

Acoustic gtr rhythms and backing vocals taken nearly verbatim from Neil Diamond's (great) "Cherry Cherry", which is kinda appropriate. Not a terrible song but far from Mellencamp's best. I'd much rather hear any one of those namechecked performers (or "Cherry Cherry"). Uh-Huh remains my personal Mellencamp LP of choice.

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Monday, 27 March 2006 04:11 (twenty years ago)

I also don't get the ILM love for Mellencamp -- I find him to be overblown kitsch.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Monday, 27 March 2006 04:12 (twenty years ago)

great tune, great album, great singer

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 27 March 2006 04:16 (twenty years ago)

I mean, I like "Jacqueline Onassis" better, but this is still pretty great

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 27 March 2006 04:17 (twenty years ago)

Scarecrow is probably the only flawless album Mellencamp ever made. And, yes, I'm including this song with the rest of it.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Monday, 27 March 2006 04:18 (twenty years ago)

oh wait, yeah, this is on Scarecrow right? I thought it was on Uh-Huh. I think i got it confused with "Play Guitar", his other great I-IV-Ver

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 27 March 2006 04:22 (twenty years ago)

defend the indefensible: rockist criticisms of an über-rockist song (and an über-rockist artist)!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 27 March 2006 04:58 (twenty years ago)

seriously, this really isn't THAT bad of a song. certainly not the best offa scarecrow. but if yer gonna get yer dick hard for 80s heartland/roots/arena/whatever rock, better it should be the spare stones-y stuff w/ a tight and professional rhythm section (which mellencamp almost ALWAYS delivered) as opposed to boring 3d-rate bar band crap or gloppy springsteen schlock.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 27 March 2006 05:03 (twenty years ago)

yeah, that's what i want from Johnny Krueger, those tight & professional riddims...... Dig those grooves, man!

― timmy tannin (pompous), Monday, 27 March 2006 05:22 (twenty years ago)

so what DO you want? and why is cougar's "everyman schtick" any more "fake" than springsteen's?!?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 27 March 2006 05:26 (twenty years ago)

and even if it is, why do you give a shit?!?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 27 March 2006 05:26 (twenty years ago)

who said i liked Springsteen, cuz I don't (that was my "faint praise" reference upthread). there can be more than one faker working the same scam per genre. i love the default rockist charge, if someone dislikes JCM they must love BS, is that the equation we're laboring under?

― timmy tannin (pompous), Monday, 27 March 2006 05:34 (twenty years ago)

is there any "everyman" pose that isn't a schtick? i mean how many GENUINE everymen are out there?

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Monday, 27 March 2006 05:44 (twenty years ago)

is there any "everyman" pose that isn't a schtick? i mean how many GENUINE everymen are out there?

which is EXACTLY my point. so i wonder why timmy is so focused on this matter?!?

1) I don't really like Springsteen and his everyman schtick.

2) Springsteen is a much better writer and actor, which means he can do the schtick more convincingly.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Monday, 27 March 2006 05:55 (twenty years ago)

Rain on the Scarecrow sounds like a college creative writing assignment based on a Walker Evans photo. If Springsteen wrote the song, he might at least breathe some life into the song's speaker.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Monday, 27 March 2006 05:59 (twenty years ago)

i think hurting is sort of getting at what prompted my starting this war - I hear stuff by Bruce that annoys me all the time, but I guess I find Mellencamp to be both annoying and lame (sometimes, I did say I was being a bit over the top just to get the ball rolling, he does have some "pop smarts" or whatever you want to call it, but jeez, the song in question is really crap, I will not budge on this matter, sorry to ruffle feathers, don't want to indulge in nastiness)

― timmy tannin (pompous), Monday, 27 March 2006 06:04 (twenty years ago)

Mellencamp's lyrics are really bad you guys! Come on!

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Monday, 27 March 2006 06:09 (twenty years ago)

you two are made for each other!

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 27 March 2006 06:12 (twenty years ago)

timmy you really don't get the point of 'defend the indefensible' threads huh?

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 27 March 2006 06:13 (twenty years ago)

I've never seen a defend the indefensible thread where there wasn't counteroffense.

Anyway, here's one case where I think the conventional wisdom is right -- he's the poor man's Springsteen and his Americana-ish lyrics are offensively bad. When he stays out of that territory he's inoffensive at best.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Monday, 27 March 2006 06:18 (twenty years ago)

John Cougar Mellencamp is the Beatles of people called John Cougar Mellencamp. Or perhaps he is rather the John Cougar Mellencamp of the Beatles of people called John Cougar Mellencamp. Either way, his name is definitely John Cougar Mellencamp.

If I'm not mistaken the photos of "Diane" were of his mistress at the time, I don't think he'd divorced the previous wife yet. Might be wrong.

x-post Shooter Jennings wasn't on rock radio! If we're gonna play fast and loose with genres I'd say that "Mr. Brightside," "Since U Been Gone" and "Little Sister" beats "Jack & Diane," "Jessie's Girl" and "Don't Stop Believin'."

3) Jessie's Girl pwns all of these songs.

but the point is probably moot.

― Zwan (miccio), Monday, 27 March 2006 16:13 (twenty years ago)

Sure, but Jessie's Girl doesn't have the pretenses of Small Town so I forgive its lyrics more.

― Zwan (miccio), Monday, 27 March 2006 16:21 (twenty years ago)

But again, John Mellencamp songs, at least the "serious" ones kind of ask you to listen to the words in a way that Rick Springfield songs just don't.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Monday, 27 March 2006 16:22 (twenty years ago)

Point taken, but lyrics are like the 5th-6th most important aspect in determining the aesthetic quality of a pop song, and no more.

abbadavid, who are your favorite songwriters anyway? (just curious.)

― xhuxk, Monday, 27 March 2006 16:25 (twenty years ago)

I generally wouldn't make so much out of pop song lyrics, but there's just something about Mellencamp lyrics, they so much get in the way. And at least in Small Town and R.O.C.K., there just isn't enough to distract me from them. Whereas Jessie's Girl is just an awesome tune.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Monday, 27 March 2006 16:27 (twenty years ago)

thread took unexpected turn for the awesome.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Monday, 27 March 2006 16:30 (twenty years ago)

xpost Hayes/Porter wrote great pop songs and I'm sure you could find bad lines in them. Mellencamp's 2-d common-man act just grates on me to the point that I can't enjoy his songs.

And Jessie's Girl IS a great song about lusting after someone's girlfriend, regardless of clunkers.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Monday, 27 March 2006 16:31 (twenty years ago)

Hearing the 2CD at work, it was definitely hard to stomach his pretensons, but those 80s albums still work pretty good for me as earnest product. I wish more artists would make videos chock full of unglossy small town imagery. I'd like Fall Out Boy more if they did that.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Monday, 27 March 2006 16:38 (twenty years ago)

actually, when Scarecrow first came out, I thought that "oh those small communities" line in "Small Town" WAS clunky -- maybe even on purpose; I wasn't sure whether it reminded me of Randy Newman or reminded me of something Randy Newman's lyrics would make fun of. But in the two decades since, its unclunkiness has been proven time and again, hundreds or more likely thousands of times. So I was wrong. Wound up being one of the best hit singles of the '80s, maybe not quite up there with "Pink Houses" and "Thundering Hearts," but close. Coug won, I lost.

I don't know if ever listened to that 2 CD set, though. Most of Coug's post-*Jubilee* stuff is unbearable, though there a thread on here somewhere where people discuss the few rare exceptions to that rule.

― xhuxkx, Monday, 27 March 2006 16:38 (twenty years ago)

Post Jubilee is spotty, but Whenever We Wanted and portions of Human Wheels (specifically the title track and the awesome "What If I Came Knockin'") are up there with his best.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Monday, 27 March 2006 16:42 (twenty years ago)

"R.O.C.K. in the USA" is 10X better than the similarly themed song from the same era, "Heart of Rock n' Roll" by Huey Lewis and the News. (OK, maybe not 10X but it is better...)

And "R.O.C.K. in the USA" is 1/10 as good as Garland Jeffreys' "R.O.C.K." from 1981's "Escape Artist". Big(?) hit from that lp was a remake of 96 Tears. Garland was very Costello-like for this one.

Tracer Hand, is that Arthur Penhallow in that photo?

It sure is, baaaaaaaaaby

i'm not a mellencamp fan by any stretch, but i think it's kinda astounding that no one has mentioned the ace recorder solo. how many other songs in 1985 had one of those? how many have since? anyway, great song, certainly far less self-consciously "I AM IN A ROCK MUSIC BAND AND I FIND IT TO BE A NOVEL EXPERIENCE" than anything the white stripes ever mistakenly thought was worth releasing.

and the truly bizarre part? the b-side was a shockingly (and i mean shockingly) credible version of james brown's "cold sweat."
