Tom Petty's "Mary Jane's Last Dance"

Central Avenue · 2012-01-12 01:07:46

The drug reference really couldn't be any more blatant, yet somehow I find I never really think beyond the literal meaning of the lyrics.

(Though this may be in part because I associate "Mary Jane" more with my grandmother than with cannabis.)

There's pigeons there, on market square, she's standing in her underwear, looking down, from a hotel room, nightfall will be coming soon.

I think you should mention that this is the Tom Petty song you're talking about.

Central Avenue · 2012-01-12 15:07:34

Oh, alright. I guess I just expected people to be familiar with the title.

vacasama · 2012-01-12 20:48:25

Well, I'm old enough to remember seeing this on MTV. I'm more partial to "Running Down a Dream" and "Don't Come Around Here Anymore".

Anyway here's the original music video:

Good good song.

Central Avenue · 2012-01-13 23:59:07

^^ But I CHANGED THE FUCKING TITLE

Some people need to spend less time reading comics and more time listening to the classics.

^ ...Like Debussy and Vivaldi?

Some people need to spend less time reading comics and more time reading comics!

Wait...

Bee · 2012-01-14 22:02:19

The mid-90's is "classics" now?

Firebert · 2012-01-14 22:03:33

If it's Tom Petty it is.

Bee · 2012-01-14 22:05:37

See, when you say classics I'm thinking, like, Journey at the latest.

Firebert · 2012-01-14 22:44:49

^^ True, I usually listen to more actual classics (aforementioned Journey, Boston, Zeppelin, Queen...)

^ Title's been changed for a while. XD

Legionnaire · 2012-01-14 22:49:13

I thought Tom Petty was the name of a comic writer.

Firebert · 2012-01-14 22:57:04

=O Educate yourself, young man! Starting with the video already posted in here.

vacasama · 2012-01-14 22:57:31

^^^ What? No Steve Miller Band or 38 Special?

Firebert · 2012-01-14 23:00:57

I only named the first ones who came to mind. Steve Miller Band is definitely up there, 38 Special is later but still good.
