"Angry Johnny " is the debut single by Poe , released in 1995 from her debut album Hello . The song received heavy radio airplay, and an accompanying music video was shown frequently on MTV .
Background [ edit ]
Despite its success and positive critical reviews, "Angry Johnny" was the only commercial single released in Australia ; however, a variety of promotional singles were released across the world. "Angry Johnny" was also included on the 1996 album Big Shiny Tunes .
Poe mentions Johnny again in her second album, Haunted , on the song "Dear Johnny".
Composition [ edit ]
"Angry Johnny" has a slow rhythm and, like much of Hello , incorporates layered vocal tracks .[1] The single was produced by Matt Sorum .
A "Full Band Version" of the song was also released, which was more acoustic than the album version and heavily featured cello .
Critical reception [ edit ]
Billboard praised the single, particularly the "fun and clever sexual euphemisms" of the lyrics.[2]
Chart performance [ edit ]
"Angry Johnny" peaked at #7 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.[3]
In popular culture [ edit ]
A two-second clip of "Angry Johnny" was included in the endpapers of the US hardcover version of Mark Z. Danielewski 's novel House of Leaves , in the form of hexadecimal numbers that, when compiled in a hex editor , could be turned into an AIFF audio file.[4]
