> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by okielady \* > \*\*Johnny Are You Queer - Go-Go’s \*\* By Josie Cotton, not the Go-Go’s. I’ll add a third “Jolene,” by Janis Ian, just so we can have as many multiple songs with the same title as possible. And “Kick Out the Jams” is originally by the MC5. (Boy, my household is going to be mulling these over for days!) ---
