Robert Palmer: Johnny and Mary [1980]
When Emmett first explained the concept of this blog to me, this is the song I thought I would post first.
In response to Emmett's comment in the comment page, there is much more development of Mary's character in this video.
Earlier I posted another song from Clues, an album which should be in everyone's collection.

Johnny's always running around...
I have not heard "Johnny and Mary" in at least ten years.
Thanks for reminding me of a great album; now I've got to buy a copy of it! (just what the RIAA isn't suspecting...)
The whole album is great. Do buy it, though I am pretty sure it is out of print... Anyway, you should be able to find it on vinyl on eBay for less than $5.
Thanks for the comment...
This is the song we all thought you'd post on day one artdecade. Hear hear! Karaoke soon? I haven't been hospitalized in ages.
I bet you didn't even scar... I, on the other hand, broke two ribs.
My only complaint about this song is that I feel that the character of Mary could have been developed more fully.
Nice post, Mike.
I know the two songs are eight years apart, but for some reason "Johnny & Mary" always segues (in my head) into Robbie Robertson's "Somewhere Down the Crazy River"... or Bruce Hornsby's "The Way It Is", for that matter. Cool.
