Description
Johnny Thunders - You Can’t Put Your Arms Round A Memory B/w Hurt Me-Original 45.
You Can’t Put Your Arms Around a Memory" is a song released in 1978 by Johnny Thunders. The title was taken from a line in the "Better Living Through TV" episode of the sitcom The Honeymooners.
It is considered by many to be his signature song.
The ballad has been interpreted to be about Thunders’ heroin addiction, and about his romance with Sable Starr. However, according to Nina Antonia's biography, Johnny Thunders...In Cold Blood, the song was written before he was even a member of the New York Dolls, and years before he ever tried heroin.
Peter Perrett, from the English new wave band The Only Ones, supplied guitar and backing vocals.
