Top Comments of this video!! :3
"I heard this song in November 1987 after experiencing a super stressful situation, and it lifted my spirits incredibly. I couldn't figure out what band it was, and I never heard it again. I spent years trying to find out the song and the band, but I never came across it again, although the melody was engraved in my brain. I tried several times to find it on YouTube and even with apps where you hum a song and it searches for the closest matches. A couple of days ago, I smoked a joint and searched on YouTube for 'best songs of 1987,' and a video with 140 songs (about 10 seconds of each song) popped up. Around the middle of the video, 'Johnny B' by The Hooters appeared, and I got a shot of adrenaline, tremendous excitement (amplified by the joint) hearing again the song I had listened to 37 years ago!! Amazing!"

It's a sleepless night she's callin' your name
It's a lonely ride I know how you want her
Again and again you're chasin' a dream, yeah
But Johnny my friend she's not what she seems
Johnny B
How much there is to see
Just open your eyes and listen to me
Straight ahead a green light turns to red
Oh, why can't you see, oh, oh Johnny B
And when you drive her home is she sittin' real close
Does she make you weak well that's the way that she wants you
You're strung out again she's taken you over
You've been here before why can't you let go
Johnny B
How much there is to see
Just open your eyes and listen to me
Straight ahead a green light turns to red
Oh, why can't you see, oh, oh Johnny B
And when she calls your name my sweet Johnny B
You can drive all night and you know she'll be waiting
To love you again her kiss is her poison
Forever inside you wherever you go
Johnny B
How much there is to see
Just open your eyes and listen to me
Straight ahead a green light turns to red
Oh, why can't you see, oh, oh Johnny B
Hey, Johnny B
How much there is to see
Just open your eyes and listen to me (just listen to me)
Straight ahead a green light turns to red
Oh, why can't you see, oh, oh Johnny B (yeah)
Oh, can't you see
Oh, oh Johnny B
Oh, can't you see

I've been looking for this song for five years. I had no way to find this song because I didn't know the lyrics or the band. The only thing I remembered was this medieval melody at the beginning of the song. And today this song happened to be on the radio. Finally I know the song again what makes me really happy because this song reminds me of my childhood :)

My dad was dying of cancer in the hospital while this song was playing on the radio. when I hear this song it reminds me of him and the struggle we fought together to the end. Unfortunately the disease was stronger, but he stays in my heart and memory and lives through the song.
