藝名John Cougar的美國歌手John Mellencamp，某日在地下室的練團室聽見吉他手Larry Crane在彈一些和弦，他即將錄音機打開，並跟唱了30句的歌詞，之後再將不喜歡的部份剔除，這首《Danger List》於焉產生。

此曲收錄在John Cougar 1982的專輯《American Fool》中。此張專輯之前不僅唱片公司不看好，搞得連 Cougar自己也沒啥信心，未料發行後竟拿下了告示牌專輯排行榜的榜首，其中的《Jack and Diane》亦是為冠軍曲，另首《Hurts So Good》雖然只得到了第2名，卻為Cougar在1983贏得了一座「最佳搖滾男歌手」的葛萊美獎 ( 之後Cougar又陸續被提名過12次，唯均未獲獎。)，Cougar當然也跟著鹹魚大翻身。有人認為，此張專輯中只有3首好歌 ( 另一首為《Hand to Hold On To / #19》)，其餘歌曲皆為「填充料」。此說法未免過於主觀，音樂各有偏好，台長我就覺得3首之外的此曲也很不錯聽。

Office girls, they pass me by

They don't know my name
Put me on the danger list
Just too wild to tame

Take the drinks off of the table
Throw my guitar out the door
Set my sights on some new sunrise
Help my feet to the floor

I ain't looking for affection
I guess I need myself a shove
Give me someone I can look up too
Show me someone I can love

Good boys go to Heaven
Good girls say their prayers
Me, I don't say anything at all
I hope the Big Man still cares

Touch my soul with your religion
Cut my throat with your spite
Hurt me with your silence, girl
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay with me tonight

I ain't looking for affection
I guess I need myself a shove
Give me someone I can look up too
Show me someone I can love

I ain't looking for affection
I guess I need myself a shove
Give me someone I can look up too
Show me someone I can love

Don't go starin' at me
Makes me feel so insecure
Talk behind my back if you want to
I don't hear no more

Take me to my destination
Put me on the plane
Fly me up to Heaven, dear Lord
Take me home again

I ain't looking for affection
I guess I need myself a shove
Give me someone I can look up too
Show me someone I can love

I ain't looking for affection
I guess I need myself a shove
Give me someone I can look up too
Show me someone I can love
