“Smokin' Johnny Cash” by Blackeyed Susans
From the album Spin the Bottle (1997)
“Smokin' Johnny Cash” by Blackeyed Susans appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 1997. It was first released in 1997 on the album Spin the Bottle. Its best result is #86 on the Triple J Hottest 100 of 1997. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #375 alternative song of 1997.
"Smokin' Johnny Cash" was the first single the Blackeyed Susans lifted from Spin the Bottle, out in May 1997, and the writing credit is shared three ways between Rob Snarski, Phil Kakulas and Mark Dawson. It came after "Mary Mac" and before "Spin the Wheel" in the band's run of singles, and the title alone promises a smoky tall tale.
It made Triple J's Hottest 100 for 1997, and it kept turning up afterwards: in an episode of the second series of the Australian TV drama The Secret Life of Us, and on rage, the national music video show, which aired the clip in July 2002.
