What is it with Johnny? Why does every band write a song about him? Is there some implicit agreement amongst bands that Johnny will be the generic rock n roll stand in name? Is it just that everybody knows a Johnny? Is it Chuck Berry's fault? Is there another name that's been the title of more songs? Anyways, here's a buncha Johnny songs from a longer list of Johnny songs I turned into a mix.
