Joan Jett And The Blackhearts - Roadrunner USA Lyrics
One two three four five six
Roadrunner roadrunner
Going faster miles an hour
Gonna ride by the stop-n-shop
With the radio on
I'm in touch I'm a modern girl
New York city when it's late at night
I got the radio on
I'm like a roadrunner yeah
Said hello to the spirit of ol' 1956
It was pacing in the woods next to '57
Well the highway was my only friend
'cause I went by so quick
Suburban trees were out there
So I say roadrunner once roadrunner twice
I'm in love with the modern world
So let's go out all night aw
With the radio on got the fm
Radio on got the powerg got the magic
Radio on 50,000 watts of power
Radio on going faster miles an hour
Radio on I feel like a roadrunner yeah
Can't ya hear it out in jersey now
New York city when it's late at night
I'm headin' east on st. marks
Over to tompkin square park down by the power lines
I see all the neon and it's cold at night
I got my radio on
It's so exciting here with the skyscrapers
In the dark
I feel in touch with the modern world
I feel in touch I feel alive
With 50,000 watts of power
I got the radio on
Roadrunner roadrunner
Radio on going faster miles an hour
Radio on ya know I walk by the stop-n-shop
Radio on and then I drove by the stop-n-shop
Radio on and I like that much better than
Walking by the stop-n-shop
Radio on I had the radio on
Radio on I felt in touch with the modern world
Radio on I fell in love with the modern world
Radio on I feel in love, feelin' love I got the
Radio on like the power, got the magic
Radio on got the am
Radio on got the fm
Radio on 50,000 watts of power
Radio on going faster miles an hour
Radio on and the neon and it's cold outside
Radio on I feel in touch I feel in love I feel in love
Radio on I got the I got the I got the
Radio on I got the I got the I got the I got the
Radio on again
Radio on

A Medley of The Sweet's ,Turn it down and The Sixteens , would be right up joans alley.
Joan jett is so osmosis I love you to bits there is know body like you you have provided that if you want something in life so much you can go out there and activities your gole and I emailed you for that it provides you are a strong position and you don't give up you just go for it I love and respect you for that love you joan jett
But, as a funny bit of trivia, both Joan and Jonathan have been produced by both Kim Fowley _and_ Kenny Laguna. Pretty wild coincidence, eh? Maybe the two should do a duet or something.
This is the one and only song I can think of that Joan Jett did not improve, and should not have covered. The first version of "Roadrunner", by the Modern Lovers (from the album titled _Modern Lovers_) is definitive. As the band evolved into "Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers" (a different backing band), another good, definitive version was presented. Joan is charming as hell, but you just can't compete with the charisma of Jonathan Richman.
Besides, the Sex Pistols did that wonderful "Johnny B. Goode/Roadrunner" medley on _The Great Rock and Roll Swindle_. Johnny Rotten didn't know the words to either song, but he faked it while Steve, Paul, and Glen just absolutely fucking *cooked!*
That's it! Those three are all the "Roadrunner"s we need! Bless Joan Jett a hundred times for her good taste, but bless Jonathan Richman a _thousand_ times for writing it and presenting it in a style that pre-dated punk.
