Johnny Cash/YMMV
- Adaptation Displacement: Trent Reznor recounts the feeling at hearing Cash's rendition of Hurt as being like losing a girlfriend, since the song now belongs to Johnny Cash.
- Audience Participation Song: The video project to rotoscope "Ain't No Grave" one frame at a time.
- Awesome Music: Do I really need to explain?
- Covered Up:
- Believe it or not, Cash didn't write "Ring of Fire" or "A Boy Named Sue." The latter's true writer may come as a shock to some--it was none other than Shel Silverstein.
- Inverted with "Tennessee Flat Top Box." Cash's version went to #11 in the sixties, and his daughter, Rosanne, took a cover to #1 in 1988. Rosanne honestly didn't know that her father wrote the song.
- Of all people, Ray Stevens released "Sunday Morning Coming Down" before Johnny did.
- His cover of the Nine Inch Nails song "Hurt," is also usually more recognized than the original, to the point where many books have incorrectly attributed "Hurt" to Cash and believe his recording is far older than its 2002 release. Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor wrote the song and recorded it in 1994. The confusion is mostly created by wrongheaded journalists who can't believe that Cash would record a song by an industrial band, when such covers were one of the main features of his American Recordings albums .
- Funny Moment: Again "A Boy Named Sue."

- "Chicken in Black": "For two long years my head hurt bad so a doctor checked me and he shook his head. He said I'm sorry to tell you, but your body's outlived your brain."
- Moment of Awesome: Building the Psychobilly Cadillac at the end of One Piece at a Time
- Weirdly enough, his suicide attempt: after a relapse Cash crawled into a cave in Tennessee intending to starve himself. He stayed until he felt the spirit of God and climbed out.
