STeVE got Chuck Berry his back royalties in 1985

It’s only a matter of time that it was originally called “Stevie B. Goode” but Chuck changed it because, well … to protect STeVe from the onslaught of fans.

Then he told the story to Robert Zemeckis one day at the Universal Studios cafeteria and it inspired him to write Back To The Future. Neat!

"Heh, Chuck, you know that breath of life and creamy midrange you've been looking for? Well, listen to this!"

Red Bull, meet phone screen 😂

Deep down near Bell Canyon, close to West LA
Way back up in the hills, in a house his daddy paid
There stood a hacienda made of stucco and wood
Where lived a trust fund boy named, STeVIE B. Goode
Who never ever learned to tell the truth so well
But he could spin a lie like a-ringin' a bell

Go, go
Go STeVIE, go, go
Go STeVIE, go, go
Go STeVIE, go, go
Go STeVIE, go, go
STeVIE B. Goode

He used to carry master tapes out in a gunny sack
Go stick them in his basement by the Shakti rack
Oh, mastering engineers would always throw him shade
Stealing all the credit for masterings Kevin Gray made
The peopsons buying CDs they would poat and say
"Oh my, like a warm pudding in my mouth it will lay"

Go, go
Go STeVIE, go, go
Go STeVIE, go, go
Go STeVIE, go, go
Go STeVIE, go, go
STeVIE B. Goode

His mother told him, someday you'll host a forum, man
And you will be the leader of a big wasteland
Many peopsons poating from miles around
Starting lame threads about music till the sun goes down
Maybe someday, they'll see through your lies
Saying, "STeVIE B. Goode, goodbye"

Go, go
Go STeVIE, go
Go, go, go STeVIE, go
Go, go, go STeVIE, go
Go, go, go STeVIE, go
Go
STeVIE B. Goode

Neat! That was bitchin'!
