"Jack and Diane"- the song


I watched this show for the longest time before I realized the twins, Jack and Diane, have the same names as one of John Mellancamp's biggest hits. How in the world did Rainbow get Dre to agree to THOSE names? LOL

Of course he probably doesn't listen to any white singers so he is unaware of the song. I think it would be a funny scene if he were to catch the 'Jack and Diane' video on MTV one day. I can see the expression on his face.

It was mentioned in one episode last season that they were named after the song.

Thanks, did not know that. I did not see every episode. I just wonder now why Dre would go long with that!

It's an inentional joke that a proud black man's twins are named after one of the whitest songs ever.

Ah the John Cougar days. It always cracked me up when he kept on changing his name.
