Rayman’s Song of the Day-R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A by John Mellencamp [VIDEO]

R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. is subtitled "A Salute to '60s Rock," and despite Mellencamp's feeling that "I don't think people are getting the idea of what the song's about, so I must've not done a very good job."

The song became a big hit. It tells the story of how Rock & Roll emerged in America, and how those (now infamous) musicians that were not afraid to take personal risks for the sake of their music became a strong influence on the next generation, including Mellencamp, who sings: "[They] Filled our head full of dreams, turned the world upside down."

TRIVIA: Growing up, Mellencamp listened to AM radio at a time when the same station would play a mix of styles, exposing him to Rock, Folk, Soul and R&B at an early age.
