Todays song is Jack & Diane By John Mellencamp. When Mellencamp first signed a record deal, his manager told him his real German surname was "too clunky" for a rock star. Without his knowledge or permission, the label printed his debut album under the flashy, aggressive stage name "Johnny Cougar". Mellencamp absolutely detested the name, feeling like a fake. As he gained leverage, he embarked on a decade-long battle to reclaim his identity—gradually changing his marquee billing to John Cougar Mellencamp in 1983, before finally dropping the "Cougar" entirely in 1991.
This song was released as a single on July 21, 1982. It served as the second single from John Mellencamp’s breakout multi-platinum fifth studio album, American Fool. He initially wrote the song as an interracial love story, where Jack was a Black football star and Diane was a white girl. At the time, his record label fiercely fought the concept, claiming it would destroy his chances of being played on mainstream radio. Feeling cornered by the industry, Mellencamp compromised by making Jack white, a decision he later expressed regret over.
This is a really cool song worth learning. So let's learn this one together, the ASL version and on Guitar, Ukulele, and Piano. Plus check out the bonus covers. Let's get in to it.

The trio is tackling the 1982 hit song "Jack and Diane" by John "Cougar" Mellencamp. The song was based on a Tennessee Williams film called "Sweet Bird of Youth" with the original lyrics depicting an interracial couple before the record company made him change them. With Michael and Steve handling the guitars, bass, piano and vocals, Jenna brings a new, hidden talent to the group, beat boxing!
