The song was correctly guessed by @wizrad@lemmy.ca: Johnny Guitar (1954) by Peggy Lee. This is the title track to the 1954 Western movie of the same name, starring Joan Crawford.

“Got a song for you, now. It’s about a guy who’s cold on the exterior, but deep down, you know he’s a good man. And his name… is Johnny Guitar.” -Mr. New Vegas (Fallout: New Vegas)

      A great guess and an absolutely hilarious movie! Walk Hard is a bop but it is not the song, unfortunately. The correct song was “Johnny Guitar” by Peggy Lee and was guessed correctly by someone else.

        Fair enough. If I didn’t try so hard to block that song from my memory, I might have guessed that. Anyway, back to Diamond City Radio.

          Completely understandable. Supposedly it plays the most out of any song in F:NV, being on both of the main radio stations and heavy in the rotation, twisting the song from an occasional change of pace into an incessant boon on the mood a lot of times.

          Some might say you’re the real winner for being able to block it from your memory. While I agree to a degree, truth is I was always a fool for my Johnny, the one they call Johnny Guitar.

            Be that as it may, all I know is that…

            I’ve got strength of the soul

            And no one’s gonna bend or break me

            I can reach any star

            I’ve got faith

            I’ve got faith, faith of the heart
