The singing of Johnny B. Goode in this scene was performed by Mark Campbell, although Marty McFly is credited. Michael J.
Fox also learned to play the song not for note, and lip sync the song word for word, so the song would include perfect timing.
Marty: We're down in Louisiana, down in New Orleans, Way back up in the woods among the evergreens, There stood an log cabin
made of earth and wood, Where lived a country boy named'a Johnny B Goode, he never ever learned to read or write so well,He
could play a guitar just like he's ringin a bell. Go, go, Go Johnny go, go, go Johnny go, go go go, go Johnny go, go, Go Johnny
go, go, go, Johnny B Goode.
Boy: Hey George, heard you laid out Biff, nice going!
Girl: George, you ever think of running for class president?
