"Jack and Diane" Video Cost $3K

On Oct. 1 1982, John Mellencamp, who was known as John Cougar at the time, enjoyed the first week of a four-week run atop the radio singles chart with his iconic hit "Jack and Diane." Yeah, you know, his song about two American kids growing up in the heartland!
"Jack and Diane" was the singer's first No. 1 hit and he reminisced about the video with VH1 Classic.
"That video was made for $3000," Mellencamp recalled. "I mean, think about the budgets that people have made videos with. I mean the video, if you look at it today is kinda, I wouldn't exactly call it a world-class video. But it was made, I mean a friend of mine, not even a cameraman, shot that video. They gave me some money and I thought well, ‘Okay, let's go buy an 8mm camera and figure out what to do.' It was shot in an afternoon. Not even an afternoon, it was shot in three hours. The whole thing."

And it is one of his best videos, too. I loved his home-movie type stuff. The "Small Town" video comes to mind.

Wonder how much it would cost to shoot something like that now?
