Back in the U.S.A. - Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers

Back in the U.S.A. - Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers
2:26
Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers, 1976
Written by Chuck Berry, 1959

Richman brings his Jo-Jo magic to the Berry classic, along with "uh-huh, oh yeah" background vocals and primitive surf guitar.  It's an infectious and playful version.  It's amazing that I didn't know this existed until today!  I'm a huge Berry aficionado and a Richman fan, and I love covers of all genres, so how did this escape my notice?  It's catchy, it's fun, it'll put a smile on your face.
