Willy DeVille wrote a song called “Chemical Warfare” which appeared on his 1992 album Backstreets of Desire. “Chemical Warfare” was dedicated to Johnny Thunders with whom DeVille shared a long-time friendship. DeVille was first to arrive at the hotel the day of Johnny’s death.

Down in the Bodega, out in the street
Somebody wants a taste, everybody wants a piece
’Cause that’s chemical warfare
You hear it on the radio, you see it on TV
Another widow on the list, this you must believe
’Cause that’s chemical warfare
Now, Mr. President, he told me this traffic he gonna stop
Get rid of the indesirables by bringing in the cops
’Cause this is chemical warfare
Chemical warfare, this is chemical warfare
Chemical warfare, this is chemical warfare
Everybody knows a Johnny who just passed away
Big wheels count their dollars while the families count their prayers
Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey
Children with bright futures, smiles on their faces
Sink to the floor, tied off tight like the knots in their shoelaces
This is chemical warfare
Now, the politicians tell you they gonna stamp out this disease
Take out the trash, bring in the police
’Cause it’s chemical warfare, hey hey, chemical warfare
Chemical warfare, chemical warfare
Chemical warfare, hey you, lady
Everybody knows a Johnny who just passed away
Big wheels count their dollars while the families count their prayers
(Chemical warfare, chemical warfare, ...)
