Berry's recording of the song was included on the Voyager Golden Record, attached to the Voyager spacecraft as representing rock and roll, one of three American songs included among many cultural achievements of humanity.

здорово.

Marty McFly performs this song at a high school dance in 1955 after the band's guitarist (who happens to be named Marvin Berry) injures his hand. Astounded by McFly's rather prescient guitar heroics, Marvin calls his cousin Chuck, who listens in on "the new sound [he's] been looking for". This creates an apparent paradox (specifically, an ontological paradox), with the song "Johnny B. Goode" having never actually been written by anyone.
