Does anyone know who the actress is in the video? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.126.87.78 (talk) 22:48, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

UK 'The Office"
I deleted this line of text from the article on 2/24/07

"The song probably served as a model for the spoof "Free Love on the Free Love Freeway" in the BBC Television comedy series The Office.

I deleted this because it says 'probably,' has no citation, is purely speculative, and can't be proved. Nice try, though. The chord progression for 'Free love freeway' is actually closer to the chorus of Boston's 'More Than a Feeling,' but I'm not putting that info in the article because it's just a similarity and you can't copyright a chord progression.

Influenced by Beatles' Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da?
There are the same kind of allusions in the Beatles' song and I think the key is the same, as is the time signature and tempo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.196.253.54 (talk) 11:20, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

John (Cougar) Mellancamp, interviewed after Mick Ronsons death, recalled that he'd discarded a song that he'd written but that Ronson, using his unique talents as an arranger, resurected it and then encouraged him to record and release it. "Jack and Diane", one of four tracks on which Mick Ronson played on the 'American Fool' album, established the recently re-packaged John Cougar Mellancamp as a major talent. Although uncredited at the time, Ronson co-wrote the song, provided the accoustic riff and the arrangement, Ronson's involvment was later acknolwedged on the subsequent March 2005 Remastered Re-release of the album. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.134.207.41 (talk) 11:51, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
