"Thanks a Lot" is a song originally recorded by Johnny Cash. It was written for him by Charlie Rich.

The song was recorded by Cash on July 10, 1958, during his final sessions for Sun Records. It was released as a single (Sun 316, with "Luther Played the Boogie", another song from the same session, on the opposite side) on February 15 of the next year, when he already had left the label for Columbia. Before that, the song appeared on Sun Records' album Greatest! Johnny Cash, that came out in January 1959. Cash received a BMI award for this single.
