Crumblin' Down by John Mellencamp
Well, he'd finally convinced the record company to let him use his real last name and he put together a great song. Written as the last song of the Uh-Huh album, it turned out to be a winner. Making it into the top ten on the US charts and receiving heavy air play on MTV helped propel the album into the top ten as well.
But it was John's dancing abilities that were on display in this video. Watch him kick over a chair, watch him jump over a parking meter!, watch him slide down a ladder and watch him tear up the floor with some really decent dance moves. Around this time there was a lot of talk about who danced better: John or Bruce Springsteen.......just watch this video and then go watch Bruce in Dancing In The Dark and you'll understand why Bruce wants the lights out.
Tear it up, John.
Please Enjoy.....
I don't remember the chatter about the dance off between these two but he sure does display some fancy foot work in this dimly lit video!!
ReplyDeleteLove this song and how it sounds though I'm not quite sure what it is supposed to be about.
