Performing at the time under the name John Cougar, John Mellencamp hit Number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for his spiky rock number "Hurts So Good," which was featured in the 1984 classic movie Footloose. On the song, John Mellencamp sings about the pleasure sometimes derived from emotional pain. "Hurt so good / Come on, baby, make it hurt so good / Sometimes love don't feel like it should / You make it hurt so good." "Hurts So Good" soundtracks a rollicking bar dancing scene in Footloose and was featured on John Mellencamp's 1982 album American Fool, which also spawned the hit singles "Jack & Diane" and "Hand to Hold On To" and was also included in the 15th Anniversary Collectors' Edition of the Footloose soundtrack (1998). John Mellencamp won the Best Rock Vocal Performance (Male) award at the 25th Grammy Awards in 1983 for "Hurts So Good" and the track remains one of his best-known to date.
