"Jessie is a friend,
Yeah, I know he's been
A good friend of mine
But lately something's changed
That ain't hard to define
Jessie's got himself a girl
And I want to make her mine"

Uh oh. Rick Springfield has a problem. His boy is dating a girl he wants to bang. What to do?

Couple of thoughts came to mind when watching this. 

1) Does anybody know a guy named "Jessie"?  Why did that name go out of style. In fact, if I ever had a Son that name has just gone to the top of the list.. "Jessie Hochberg"...i only hope he ends up with a girl that his best friend wants. 

2) Why did Jessie spray paint "Jessie's Girl" on that brick wall? 

3) At 1:05 you see Rick in his suit with some white sneakers. It's fucking astounding that in the 80's that look was totally OK. 

4) So Rick just can't understand why Jesse's girl doesn't dig him. The 1:50-2:10 mark is really creepy. Rick washes his face...and I'll quote .."And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the time,

Wondering what she don't see in me.."  He then proceeds to break the mirror with the neck of his guitar. I wish there was some more footage of Jesse's girl in the video to really analyze if she was worth all of this. She looked cute, but not worthy of shattering your bathroom mirror with the one thing that actually will get Rick laid--his guitar.

5) The guitar solo that follows is pretty good...I was surprised. 

Anyway, I wish there was a sequel to this video. In the real world it could have gone one of two ways.

A) Rick ends up meeting Jesse's girl's Sister, who is even hotter and Jesse gets all pissy about this. A fight ensues where Jessie hits Rick Springfield over the head with his guitar while the Sisters realize that these two dudes are both insane. Everybody ends up single and miserable.

B) Rick ends up with Jessie's girl,  and then finds out what every man ends up finding out about a woman he lusts after...namely..she's not worth it. He ends up miserable.

The moral of the story seems obvious.
