Komposisyon

baguhin

Ang "Can't Keep Johnny Down" ay isinulat ni John Linnell. Sinasabi ni Linnell na ang kanta ay hindi isang biograpikong kanta tungkol sa kanyang sarili o kapwa miyembro ng banda na si John Flansburgh, kahit na sadyang napili ang pangalan ng tauhan, upang makalikha ng pagkakaiba sa pagitan ng kanyang pagkatao at ng dalawang Johns.[3] Inilalarawan ni John Flansburgh ang kanta bilang "...a song of defiance. It's an incredibly catchy song. That's a very nice, bittersweet concoction of a very bitchy lyric with an incredibly sunny arrangement. It's sort of Britpop." Idinagdag niya na nakita niya ang kanta na isang napakalakas na track.[4] Sinabi din ni Flansburgh, tungkol sa titular character, "The lyric is about a guy who seems like he's got some mixed emotions about the world. He's sort of reading everything in a hostile way."[5]

Pagtanggap

baguhin

Na-rate bilang isa sa pinakamahusay na mga kanta noong 2011, sinabi ng PopMatters na ang kanta ay Smiths-like, bilang "song's malcontent narrator, singing about imagined triumphs over imagined slights, hits a similarly sweet-and-sour tone. Then again, marrying catchy melodies to dark lyrics has always been their specialty; this instant classic proves it's a talent undiminished by time."[6] Sinabi ng The A.V. Club na ang kanta ay sinisimulan na Join Us, "in winning fashion, showcasing Linnell’s surprising late-career ability to craft a slick pop tune."[7]
