The Story
Josie Cotton is an American new wave singer recognized for her catchy pop-rock sound. She's best known for "Johnny, Are You Queer?" and "He Could Be the One," both of which became staples of the early '80s music scene. "Johnny, Are You Queer?" found its way onto the soundtracks of "Valley Girl" and "Jackass Number Two," cementing its place in pop culture. With a playful yet sharp lyrical style, Cotton's music captures the spirit of the time, mixing youthful exuberance with a touch of irony. Her songs are like snapshots of an era, blending memorable hooks with a charmingly offbeat perspective that still resonates today.
