Flopcast 465: Here's Johnny and Johnny and Johnny

For no good reason, the name "Johnny" is the subject of our latest Top 4 ½ List. (Has it been a slow week around here? What do you think?) We have characters named Johnny from movies, TV, songs, and even more goofy DC comic books. There might even be a robot on the list, since Ally Sheedy assures us that Johnny 5 is very much alive. Plus: Dueling Johnny songs from Chuck Berry and Men at Work, dueling Johnny songs from El DeBarge and "Weird Al" Yankovic, Greg Brady vs. Johnny Bravo, Charlie the Tuna vs. Mr. Peanut (?), and more. Did we miss your favorite Johnny? Let us know! The best way to reach us is by canal. Just ask Johnny Canal.

Show Notes

The Mayor hasn't been this confused about tuna since Jessica Simpson's "Chicken of the Sea" incident. Is Charlie the Tuna a tuna fish or not?
