LOST JOHNNY


Our pal Arsyd sent over a audio link to a somewhat unusal version of the song “Lost Johnny” that Lemmy and I wrote way back in the twenieth century. It’s by the German/Dutch rock/experimental group Tohuwabhu, who, some time ago, covered the Tijuana Bible tune “Memphis Psychosis.” (And who feature a rock & roll accordion.) Click here to take a listen.

  6. Splendid! I wonder if we could persuade them to take a stab at 'BIlly the Monster'.

    Actually I've had 'Where Is the Son of the Millionaire?' popping into my head unbidden quite a bit lately - maybe it's some kind of omen.

  7. btw I think that couplet along the lines of
    'all of your friends start to carry a gun
    though they swear that it's only platonic'
    is an all time great lyric

    Good show old chap!

  8. I hadn't thought about Son Of A Millionaire in a long time. Larry and I really did quite a good job on that one. Unfortunately I recorded the vocal late ion the sessions and my voice was getting a bit worn.

    Speaking of whom: How is his sciatica? I see his website's gone belly up. Any chance of that Fairies reunion ever happening?
