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)
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
