Jessie’s Girl
Mock Springfield all you want, but think about this: there has never— ever— been a more sonically pleasing experience than the song “Jessie’s Girl” heard through the ears of a teenaged girl dating a dude named Jessie.

This is a funny way to think about this song. How do I follow this blog to comment (rate) entries?
Hey Holly, thanks for commenting! I’m a bit computer illiterate (and not entirely sure I understand the question), but I think you can click the “Entries RSS” link on the bottom left (under META). Then click subscribe, and it should update you every time I post a new blog. You can also click the “Dig It” “Funny” etc tabs for a quick reaction. Does that answer your question?
Unfortunately,Rick didn’t do his research when he chose the spelling of this person “Jessie”….This is actually the female spelling of the name.”Jesse” is the proper spelling of a dude.This leads me to believe that “Jessie” was possibly in a girl/girl relationship.My conclusion is that this song is even more awesome than Mr. Springfield intended it to be.
Rick Springfield singing “Jessie’s Girl” didn’t just thrill young teenage girls with boyfriend of same name….he thrilled a lot of older housewives and mothers at the same time. .I’m a young-at-heart widow, retired, and still enjoying life, but I can still remember stopping whatever I was doing whenever I heard that song or caught a glimpse of Rick on TV. My sweet, darling husband, whom I loved dearly, never knew the fantasies I’d spin in my mind for days about Rick Springfield seeing me at one of his concerts and sweeping me away for a mad lfling..
Hmmm, I’ve been a widow for 6 years…think Rick is still touring??? I’m guessing he still looks mighty fine in those tight black pants..
Thanks for jogging a happy memory.
