Jack and Diane by John Cougar Mellencamp
A little ditty that fires up the nostalgia machine for me-this is the start of songs that I recall hearing when they were released, charting on Casey Kasem's weekly Top 40 or scattered through radio airplay. I liked this song from the beginning, imagining myself to be the football star with a girlfriend sitting on my lap when I reached high school in a few years, which alas, wasn't meant to be. And while I didn't absorb the sentiment at the time, I now understand the advice to hold onto sixteen as long as you can (although I'd argue the age--bump it up to 18 or 19).
