Rick Springfield’s “Jessie’s Girl” gets a sequel!

Hollywood seems to be going crazy with sequels, reboots, reimagining…looks like sequels are not just for movies anymore. Coheed and Cambria just released a follow-up to the Rick Springfield classic “Jessie’s Girl”, called “Jessie’s Girl 2”. And there’s a twist.

After singing about her in the original song, we find that the narrator GOT Jessie’s girl, turns out she’s a little on the crazy side and he’s left with nothing but regret. He even changes his phone number to “867-5305” a salute to another ’80s classic by TommyTutone. . . but he STILL can’t get rid of her.

In yet another twist, we learn that Jessie actually let her go without a fight because he knew she was a little nuts.

Coheed and Cambria even made a video starring Rick Springfield himself  who also appears on the song.

Coheed and Cambria singer Claudio Sanchez says, quote, “Has anyone ever written a sequel to another artist’s song? I don’t think so. As a fan of movies, it just seemed like a really interesting idea.”
