Que Sera Sera is a 1985 album by Johnny Thunders backed by the Black Cats. Keith George Yon went on to play bass for Milli Vanilli.


The original 1985-release of the album had ten songs. On later CD-pressings three more were added: "Que Sera, Sera", "Cool Operator" (Black Cat Remix) and Thunders' own remix of the opening track, "Short Lives", which replaced the original mix as opener of the album. "Que Sera Sera" was first released as a single (7" & 12"), backed with Thunders' remix of "Short Lives". "Tie Me Up" was also released as B-side to the Johnny Thunders & Patti Palladin single "Crawfish" in 1985.
