The Hollies' song "Look Out Johnny (There's A Monkey On Your Back)" tells the story of a drug pusher named Johnny who becomes involved in a dangerous situation. Johnny lays drugs on someone who doesn't get high not realizing that the person is actually a dangerous hood. Fearing for his life, Johnny decides to leave town and packs his bags in his Chevy, speeding down the freeway to escape. However, the danger follows him as the "monkey on his back" (a metaphor for his drug addiction and troubles) is now armed with a gun and chasing after him. Johnny tries to escape, crossing state lines and hiding out in a bar, but he is eventually caught by the hood. The lyrics serve as a cautionary tale about the consequences of getting involved in dangerous and illegal activities, warning listeners to be careful of the “monkey” on their backs before it catches up with them.
