John "No, I don't know johnny b. goode, lets do "Through my eyes"
John "If you could see through my eyes, you might get a big surpriyyies.."(Band make attempt but it all falls apart after 30 secs, john tries but gives up after 1 min 40)
part two: "Johnny B.Goode / Roadrunner 'medley'"
Producer : "John?"John : "Yeah, wot?"Prod: "They want you to sing "Through my eyes" to the backing of "Johnny B goode"John "GOD! huh... Alright"
Power chords start up John "If you could seeee, oh god fuck off" (i.e. it's not exactly going to fit)But now band are in heaven and carry on riffing for another 3 mins anyway...
The rest you know...

I got that part, dave225, from the Japanese 'replica' CD songsheet. Usually they are laffably wrong but they got that bit I never heared from the double LP (although it is there). They had the line as "This is obscene oh god fuck off" as the first line of the song part of JBG, but on turning up the CD loudly, the "If you could see" clicked in me head. (If you have the 3CD box set, dont bother as that is the original non-tarted up version with the chat removed)

first one had "Watcha gonna do about it" and an instrmental "God save the queen" orchestraSecond one (the normal one) missed those but added other tracks and had malcolm talking over the "GSTQ" orchestra.
I think it was general confusion... the labels are correct along with the insert for the second one (the sleeve is wrong). The first one sleeve is different again...
Urg.

The tragedy here is shurely the Pistols having to play "Johnny B Goode" at all.

Well, as I say, it was Steve and Paul's idea.

If you have the "Filth and the Fury" soundtrack CD, you will have "Roadrunner" without the Johnny B good 'first part'..
So, the track starts suddenly, with the line "Durrr Durr Durr durrrrrr............................. (I don't know the whurdshahah)"

In spite of appearances to the contrary it's not been entirely in vain after all.
