Post a song you like with Johnny in the title, and rate it too!
I'll start with one I'd not heard before until recently, it's by Warren Zevon and from the 70's and mentions a guy named Freddie too, so I like to think it's a song about the Legendary John Deacon and Freddie Mercury!

The Byrds did a nice cover of this, although I think critical reaction was mixed.

Which led me to another Byrds / John song.
