The Truth About Johnny

The Raveonettes are a Danish indie rock duo, consisting of Sune Rose Wagner (born 1973, Sønderborg, Denmark) on guitar, instruments, and vocals, and Sharin Foo (born 12 December 1979, Emmelev, Denmark) on bass, guitar and vocals. Their music is characterized by close two-part vocal harmonies inspired by The Everly Brothers coupled with hard-edged electric guitar overlaid with liberal doses of noise, very similar to The Jesus and Mary Chain. Their songs juxtapose the structural and chordal simplicity of '50s and '60s rock with intense electric instrumentation, driving beats, and often dark lyrical content (e.g., crime, drugs, murder, suicide, love, lust, and betrayal), similar to another of the band's influences, The Velvet Underground. more »

Johnny where you been 
Johnny where you been 

Can't say the night was long 
And girls were out oh fun 
That's when I caught a glimpse of you 
Across the street black leather boots 

That's when I learned 
With cigarette in mouth 
Dating prostitutes 
Was alright now 
That's when I came 
To realize 
I've been dead for so long 
What a surprise
