Song of the Moment: Johnny Guitar

[Ms Harmless]

I will say that it's full of top shelf puns and double entendres, and that's something Ed hasn't given us lyrically since pre-PRAMG

I can't believe how many people like this. I just can't believe it. I'm trying to think what musical lineage a person could follow that would lead them to liking Pearl Jam in the first place and then further on to thinking this is a good Pearl Jam song. Probably an overdose of The Killers and/or The Darkness leading to the death of good taste.

I love this song. I don’t know why it’s a top favorite of mine on Backspacer it just is. The band sounds like they are having a fun time on the song. It feels different than the other 2-3 minute punky tunes on the album. It’s much better than Supersonic in my opinion.

It’s got that oddball quirkiness a Matt tune always delivers.

I looked up fun in Webster's dictionary (2010 edition) and next to the definition was a picture of Johnny Guitar.

Staring at you, riding on three wheels, a woman on his knee.

textbook fun!

that's what knee said

Weird that In Hiding and Johnny Guitar are both at the top of the forum as far as songs of the moment. Two songs I strongly dislike.

Thankfully , All or None and Save You are up there as well. Neither top 20 PJ songs by any means, but both super solid, and remind me that I am not a complete curmudgeon.
