Back in the 80's, Bon Jovi looked like another hair metal band, but the truth was, these Jersey boys were aiming at the pop charts, and had been since their 1984 debut.
1986's "Slippery When Wet" produced back to back #1 hits, the second of which, "Livin' on a Prayer", tells the story of two average kids trying to survive despite individual hardships. If you were watching Supergirl on Monday night, this was on the soundtrack.
Anyway, let's take a trip back to the fall of '86 for the video, which was all about the band and not the story.
Sounds like Jon Bon Jovi was trying to mine the same trail as fellow Jersey icon Bruce Springsteen, doesn't it? Sounds like "The Boss"' kind of tale.
