      Similar thing happened to me less than two hours ago. Stopped into Ollies store and this song was playing. I remembered hearing it years ago and how much I liked it (now I love it). Could not remember the name. Said to myself "PLEASE let there be some refrain in the lyrics which will probably be the title." Sure enough "I Saw You First." Have no clue why it's called Key West Intermezzo.

    This song will always have a special place in my heart. A dear friend (who has passed) always loved me but was too afraid to tell me. Every time I’d go out with a guy, he tell me “but I saw you first”. For years, I just thought it was a running joke. I didn’t know how he really felt until right before he passed away at 26. Still breaks my heart. I’ll never hear this song and not think of him.

And the included the other side of walls. Nobody within 50 feet. Second, I have a friend who worked at a Bass Pro Shop, and Mellencamp made a big stink about something, and wanted special treatment. Pulled the, "Do you know who I am?" card. Not well received. I love his music, saw him years ago with Dylan and Willie Nelson, great show. But that "Aww, shucks" Indiana boy thing is a persona, not the person.

    One of the most underrated songs of any genre. This is my favorite John Mellencamp tune ... and he has a lot of good ones! It's one of the few he's done that doesn't have that distinctive "American heartland" vibe to it ... but it's definitely an American classic.

    Mr. Happy Go Lucky is one of the most underrated albums of all time. It is John Mellencamp's magnum opus, his creshendo, his crowning achievement. You really have to listen to the album from beginning to end to understand (at least to some degree) the message he was attempting to convey, and he did that with absolute success, even if no one knows it.

    • @kelrogers8480

    Hear me out people, in 96 I was 15 knew nothing about love, I like the guitar and drums and his voice. I got older and got my heart broken I was like I get it's about not getting the girl. Now as a man approaching 40 I'm sure it's about Assassins. Him and Johnny killed the girl and buried her in the back yard. Johnny got the most money for the hit cause he poisoned her drink. The girl in Kentucky is a job Johnny did before they teamed up!!!
