A cherry bomb is a small firecracker. Mellencamp chose the name because it sounds like an explosion of hormones, which was what was going on in the teen clubs. Much of the song is true-to-life, with a few details changes. Mellencamp grew up on the outskirts of town (Seymour, Indiana), but not in an eight-room farmhouse.
