"Here's Johnny" is a song by parody artist "Weird Al" Yankovic. It is a parody of "Who's Johnny" by El DeBarge. It appeared on Yankovic's fourth studio album, Polka Party!. The song is an ode to The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson announcer Ed McMahon, who would say the line to introduce Carson.
"Here's Johnny" is one of the three parodies on "Polka Party!" that is a reworking of a then-current movie's theme song ("Who's Johnny" was the theme for the movie Short Circuit).
Here's Johnny may refer to:
John Hicklenton (8 May 1967 – 19 March 2010), aka John Deadstock, was a British comics artist best known for his brutal, visceral work on flagship 2000 AD characters like Judge Dredd (in particular Heavy Metal Dredd) and Nemesis the Warlock during the eighties and nineties.
He suffered from multiple sclerosis and recorded an award-winning documentary about living with the condition. On 19 March 2010, Hicklenton chose to end his life at Dignitas in Switzerland.
Hicklenton got his first break when he realised a friend at college was Ron Smith's daughter so he made her a Judge Dredd Christmas card.
However, regular work remained elusive until, on the advice of his mother, he phoned Pat Mills directly and their working relationship developed from there. He did other work with Mills including a strip in the now defunct CoolBeansWorld site. He also drew ZombieWorld (as John Deadstock) for Dark Horse Comics, who commissioned him because, as Mills has said "John is the ultimate horror artist ... I defy anyone to show me an artist whose monsters are more grotesque, whose zombies have a more ghastly look in their eye."
