so the question still begs "who is johnny?"

i had forgotten about that song....i was soo happy....

Are you talking about the short circut robot?

Damn, that was one I had forgotten too. Summer of 1986.

You mean that song by Debarge or El Debarge, or whatever the heck they were calling themselves? That video was pretty dumb.

tune!

everyone just SHUT UP, that song is DEEP!!!

Deep? Could you explain that please, I think I'm missing something.

it's one of those "either you get it or you don't" things - you might see it as just a stupid bubblegum song about having an affair with a robot, but dig a little deeper and you've got enough existential angst in those lyrics to send albert camus running home to his sweet ol' granny.

Hmm well, I'll take your word for it.

that question does not beg to be answered. although my 45 collection can tell you that that dang song and video with alley sheedy (who is becoming a sort of hero for me) stuck in my head

thank you...drive through

I always hated that song. El sang "Who's Johnny"...I thought "Who cares".

I don't know who was worse in that video, that old lady or that silly robot. Just thinking about that video makes me cringe.

I used to sing the song "Who's Ronny" instead of Johnny, just to be a smartass. Everybody who knows me well knows that I have a habit of renaming things just for kicks and giggles.

The same dude had a hit with the line that goes:
''We don't have to take our clothes off to have a good time"
Talk about stupid lyrics.

sorta like what i used to do with Janet Jackson's "i miss you much" you can make it
sound like she's saying "i'm missing lunch" or Stacy q's "2 of hearts" to "2 pop tarts" and Cyndi's "girls just wanna get fuu uucked"

Number five is alive!
