The Modern Lovers (w/Jonathan Richman): Roadrunner

This is the original, off of The Modern Lovers debut album - Jonathan Richman has recorded four *official* versions. Members included David Robinson, later of The Cars and future Talking Head Jerry Harrison. It’s become a Rock standard of sorts, Joan Jett and the Sex Pistols among the bands covering a tune critic Greil Marcus described as “the most obvious song in the world and the strangest.”
