This morning on the Waters Wake-Up Call, Mike was featuring names in songs. Did you know that John or Johnny is featured in over 2,000 songs? With that in mind, today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 is a name song, from Men At Work it’s “Be Good Johnny”.
From their debut album “Business As Usual”, Men At Work became one of the most successful albums ever by an Australian group spending 15 weeks at #1 and selling over 6 million copies in America alone. Following the hits “Who Can It Be Now”, and “Down Under”, “Be Good Johnny” was the third hit single from the LP reaching #3 on the charts.
With a reference to the Chuck Berry classic “Johnny B. Goode” it’s Men At Work with “Be Good Johnny”. The Forgotten 45 is sponsored by Honey Creek Furniture in Manchester, Eastern Iowa’s fastest growing La-Z-Boy store. You’ll find them at honeycreekfurniture.com.
