Man I was so excited to watch his movie You People and….it was terrible

If you’re gonna be petty, be Tom Petty

Eddie was really mad at Tom because Tom's girl didn't like to party all the time, party all the time, party all the tiiiiime

For someone who's a comedian Eddie Murphy sure can't take a joke. He got mad at David Spade for a dumb joke on SNL too.

Eddie made his whole comedic career making fun of EVERYONE! He did vicious put downs on Garrett Morris, made a quip bout Richard Pryor’s accident, making fun of Liberace’s sexuality, Michael Jackson, James Brown’s speech pattern, etc all on SNL. He seems to be someone that can dish it out but can’t take it. Kinda sad really.

I’d be honored to be mentioned in any Tom Petty song….

How can anyone hate Tom Petty? Seemed like such a pure soul.

I miss Tom Petty so much, a tragic loss.

I always wondered if Eddie Murphy hated Tom Petty. Many sleepless nights.... Now I know!

If TOM PETTY and BOB DYLAN think enough of you to put your name in a song....you are SOOOO FREAKN' LUCKY in my book!!!

Eddie is the living embodiment of "can dish it out but can't take it."

Tom Petty was part of the last 40 yrs! He is amazing! He will be missed. Man he could sing!

Classic case of you can dish it out but cant take it!. Rest Easy Tom 💔

Love Tom Petty forever and always!

Eddie always had insecurities. Within the context of the song, all it really implies is he was a huge star whose name everyone would recognize.

I don't know, after The Adventures Of Pluto Nash and Norbit, they can definitely take Eddie Murphy back.

Sensitivity is something I have a hard time grasping. I try to see where he is coming from but honestly just laugh that a grown man gets upset that easily.

I feel Tom. At that time, Eddie, Joey, and Vanessa where ubiquitous. It was impossible to escape them.

I never knew that I needed to know Eddie Murphy hates Tom Petty 😂

"Take back your front wheel drive,," my favorite line in this song.

Murphy has a history of being overly sensitive. 🥺😢 😭😭

Ah ha - but he never said he had nothing against Joe Piscopo! Now there's a heartbreaker of a story

"information overload in the 80's" How cute

I rode a Team Murray BMX bicycle in 1980 with a boombox tied to the handlebars listening to Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers Damn The Torpedos Cassette

35 years ago and Petty was talking about media overload then. Imagine what he'd think now.

During his heyday Eddie Murphy made fun of several celebrities. He did several non-flattering impressions of Bill Cosby, James Brown, Mr. Rogers, Richard Pryor, and especially Michael Jackson. He had it coming.

For a comedian he can’t take a joke can he?! Screw Eddie, Tom was an amazing musician.

Tom Petty in concert was always a great time. Can't recall him playing that particular song live.

Eddie was already pissed at Tom because the Heartbreakers refused to cover "Party all the Time" on the "Southern Accents" album.

This Title alone gives you a thumb's up. The quality video was merely a bonus! 🤣 Thanks!

Murphy insulted Petty first! Called him the ugliest rocker ever! I saw it! I’ve been a petty fan since 78!

Now I need to listen to this song. I remember when it came out, never thought it was all that great but I'm glad it pissed off Eddy Murphy

Eddie Murphy is even more thin-skinned than Will Smith, only difference being he hasn't physically attacked anyone yet.

Tom Petty will always be beyond words!! He was truly a master and true artist!!

Eddie's only pissed because he knows how beloved Tom will always be, while Eddie can only hope to be tolerated. He runs his mouth about everyone else and his schtick got old a long time ago. Love you, Tom. We miss you down here.

Didn't know Dylan wrote the lyrics pretty cool 👍

This song is so relevant nowadays

100 years from now people will still be listening to Tom Petty, Eddie Murphy not so much.

If you’re into Tom petty and the Heartbreakers Mike Campbell’s recent Gibson Tv spot with Mark Agnesi here on KZfaq showing off some of his guitars is a fantastic watch.

Eddie Murphy really needs to cultivate a sense of humour!

i remember that situation and MURPHY was not happy...i've kinda wondered in passing if those guys had ever met each other at some point years later and that line came up in conversation...TOM never gave me the impression of a guy looking for controversy

You're Jammin' Me is my all time Favorite Petty song. I even did a satire version played on the Johhny B show on the Loop Chicago called You're Scammin' Me.

My personal frustration with Tom Petty comes from years of trying to play his songs in Rocksmith! Fantastic songs, super hard in places. My 69 year old fingers can't keep up 😞

Note to Chris Rock...no Eddie Murphy jokes

Poor Eddie Murphy.

Imagine the greatest songwriter, including your name in a song and getting mad about it.

Maybe it's been covered or brought up in the comments but this made me think of Joe DiMaggio being upset with Paul Simon about the line from "Mrs. Robinson" until Paul sat down with him and explained what he meant by it.

If Eddie Murphy hates Tom Petty, than I hate Eddie Murphy.

I love Tom Petty songs .period.

That's a shame, it was never about Eddie. He was just on tv and in the news at the time, at least that's how I thought about it.

I was today years old when I learned “And the Apple in young Steve’s eye” was about Steve Jobs. He wasn’t as well known when the song was released.

Awesome work, thanks.

TRIGGERED

I’ve heard that song many times, and I caught the names Joe Piscopo and Vanessa Redgrave, but I didn’t quite understand what Tom was singing when he said “Eddie Murphy”

wow i had forgotten this channel used to be rock band 4 news, blew my mind. congrats on all the views u get now

I think you undersold just how big of a star Eddie Murphy was in the mid 1980s. He was famous in a way that's not even positive today. He and Michael Jackson were probably the two most famous people on the planet at that time.

And then Tom died, leaving Joe Piscopo to wonder why their beef was never settled.

Thanks for not dragging this video out for 10 minutes. ❤❤

Rock N' Roll True Stories thanks for doing the story Syd.. I thought it was interesting.

Some might say Eddie is being petty, Tom Petty.

Who’s Eddie Murphy?

You got it all wrong. Eddie was pissed for being mentioned in the same sentence as Piscapo. 😂

Some can dish it out but they sure can’t take it.

Eddie Murphy doesn’t have a sense of humor?

I always thought Eddie Murphy would be a real jerk in real life.

For a comedian /actor ,Eddie Murphy needs to go away. Tom Petty will live forever! 👽

If Eddie would have known that Bob wrote the lyrics, he'd have appreciated it, lol.

I never heard that story. But Jammin Me is not one of my favs. Can’t believe it made in to #1.

I guess Eddie Murphy massive inflated ego got the last laugh with Petty's tragic passing. Petty and Dylan's song line was PERFECTLY apt.

I could care less what Eddie Murphy thinks about anything

I feel really old when someone says the first time they heard this song was from the video game Rock Star.

Interesting, I remember those lyrics, but never heard about the back story or the ripple effect!!😮

That song was totally some top 40 fluff that we could have done without.

Go ask for directions Eddie ! Offer that sweet street walker a ride -

It still holds true today and we could throw a few more people in there too…Give ‘em all some place to gooooooooo your jammin me

I had forgotten about that song. Cuz Tom has so many other great songs.

Speaking of the 80's, Clubber Lang invited Rocky's wife Adrian to stop by his apartment one night, nothing was said about it in the news 🤔

It could have been worse. He could have mentioned Eddie on the song "Don't come around here no more"

Invo is always nice. Thank you.

Eddie needs to focus on keeping his transgender nightlife girlfriends happy.

How is it possible to hate Tom Petty. Absolute legend

Bob Dylan also hated Coming 2 America...along with everyone else.

Oh look a falling star, make a wish! - David Spade on Eddie Murphy.

Eddie’s music career tho

Really he's singing about music as a whole being put in a corner and tv / movies becoming the new norm that everyone wanted to watch. Also listen to the song Think About Me from the same album. Your boyfriends got a brand new car... got a compact disk, got a VCR. Owning these things also were all new 80s to a lot of people.

The song’s rhythm and chorus really give me the feel of a Rolling Stone song..I would love to hear them cover it…Mike had lots of input on this album..In my eyes it’s an awesome album but Tom didn’t like it..Runaway Trains is a Gem..that’s Mike’s idea for sound…this was the time Mike created the sound for Boys of Summer by Don Henley…that entire first Don Henley solo album is the Heartbreakers playing for him..his next solo albums were not as successful…goes to show what that band could do and why they were so sought after..They played on many albums in part or together..One of the best live and studio bands to have ever existed..they did the best version of covers you’ll ever hear…I miss Tom very much…

Alternative title: "Eddie Murphy has thin skin, gets mad."

Eddie Murphy is a very sensitive narcissist. Not surprised!

Everyone in this comment section is so scandalized over Murphy’s response but if someone you’d never met wrote a pop song telling you to go away and you heard it on the radio and on TV a bunch of times you’d probably be like “f that guy” too.

God but i miss the 80's. If there is a heaven they had better hand me a Swatch at the pearly gates and start playing the Miami vice theme as Tom Petty opens the gates and shows me around.

One thing, Eddie Murphy forgot if someone’s talking about you good or bad you’re relevant!

The more I learn of him and the more I hear of his stand up "comedy," the less I like Eddie Murphy

That entire album is 💯💯👍👍 every song 👍✅

Eddie's at best a kernel in one of Tom stool's that he left as a young man in Gainesville

Ed's proof the Amistad hatchet will NEVER be buried. I refuse to pay for the last 150 yrs. Way too heavy a debt.

Average number of times a Tom Petty fan listens to his music: Infinite, since we're still doing it. Average number of times an Eddie Murphy fan watches his movies: 1

I've never seen the record cover of that album. It's so much cooler makes me want the vinyl now.

Information overload in the 1980s, doesn't seem so bad compared to now.

Eddie has always been a soft one. 😏

Oh oh... even before I watch this... and I'm not actually a fan... but Tom Petty is everybody's nice guy rock star. Like Dave Grohl, or something. Ok roll it!
