Dope deployment of Steely Dan melodic constructions.

Sandra - Johnny Wanna Live
I briefly owned this 7" single. I have a feeling it's about a dolphin.

Here some Johnny statistics 4 U.
These are the years at least one song title with "Johnny" in it charted in the UK:
1960
1961
1962
1963
1966
1971
1972
1979
1980
1983
1985
1986
1988
1991
1993
1998
1999
2004
Then nothing! After regularly appearing in song titles since 1960, no Johnnys have appeared since 2004!
But the last *Top 40* Johnny was Stories of Johnny by Marc Almond, which reached number 23 in 1985.

Not to mention Protex Blue by the Clash.
Here's Johnny Come Lately off Steve Earle's fine album Copperhead Road which I bought with my Christmas money in January 1989.
