One comes to mind and there are a lot of variations but only one worth it. That is Johnny B. Goode. The original says, "His momma said someday you'll be a man, you'll be the leader of a big old band, maybe someday you'll see your name in lights saying Johnny B. Goode tonight" Most often version does not mention momma at all. Another is "Ball engine sittin' in the shade strummin' with the rhythm the drivers made" what goes on in a lot of them is weird, I learned this song as a band singer and know the proper words from a Chuck Berry music sheet, I would say there might be two versions that come close, in karaoke. I sing the right one whether it's on the screen or not, that was fun one night when I went to sing and the KJ said her monitor was not working, me and three others sang all night and had a ball, then I fixed her cable for her.
