The Ramones Lyrics

    ------ About the song Danny Says performed by The Ramones

A truly great song from a truly great band.
I've loved The Ramones for years (since 1978) and have all their separate albums on vinyl and of course the brilliant It's Alive.
Anyway as for Danny Says it's a truly great song which sounds great when played loud.Especially when it modulates (goes up a tone to F#)and Joey starts singing "Soundchecks at 5:02" etc.
I was listening to it on the 345 bus from Peckham to Brixton on Saturday just gone.
Yep a truly great song and the albums pretty cool as well, taking into consideration Phil Spectors muddy production but hey that's Phil Spectors style ,as heard on bands like The Ronnettes,
The Shangrillas etc etc.
Hey Ho Let's Go.
Always.

    ------ About the song I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend performed by The Ramones

What more can you say to a girl that gets you fuckin crazy? Nothing else matters. Yo, Hey little girl, I wanta be your boyfriend. Its direct, honest, and no holds barred. They ain't trying to be intellectuals, they just want to go down in the alley and do the nasty. I do consider this poetry. Primal and fundamental. They understand what rock and roll is all about. Its music any kid in the world could play.

    ------ About the song Beat On The Brat performed by The Ramones

the song cant be about anything post 1976 since that was the song's original release date. From Joey himself: "Beat on the Brat" was said by Joey to have origins relating to the upper class of New York City. "When I lived in Birchwood Towers in Forest Hills with my mom and brother. It was a middle-class neighborhood, with a lot of rich, snotty women who had horrible spoiled brat kids. There was a playground with women sitting around and a kid screaming, a spoiled, horrible kid just running around rampant with no discipline whatsoever. The kind of kid you just want to kill. You know, 'beat on the brat with a baseball bat' just came out. I just wanted to kill him

    ------ About the song Danny Says performed by The Ramones

I hadn't heard this for a very long time until it crept up on me on my iPod while shuffling through some tunes. I was struck by how eerily moving it is. Joey subtlety pulls out an achingly pure vocal against a fantastically well considered backdrop. It's not the usual "Gabba-Gabba-Hey" Ramones but that's no bad thing. It's one of the finest, most surprising songs I've heard in a very long time and I challenge anyone not to be moved by it. Wonderful stuff.

    ------ About the song Blitzkrieg Bop performed by The Ramones

i remember when i was REALLY little my dad would play a song and because i was really little i thought they said j o lets go.i liked that a lot and i still do even though thats the last time i heard it.i am 12 now.now that im reading the lyrics the words not the song blitzkreig bop i am starting to remember.i think i found the c.d.its on but i cant get to it.some of the songs i remember hearing are breakin the law talk dirty to me and a lot of queensryche.i hope i spelled that right.apparently my dad really liked queensryche and my mom was a teacher so i was usually with him and he would take me to work and when my other sister was old enough we would play.

    ------ About the song New Girl In Town performed by The Ramones

love these kind of songs. takes me back to jr. high when the new girl around was an item and everyone wanted a shot. I was lucky and cute so I scored first much of the time. not bragging just reminiscing.

    ------ About the song Danny Says performed by The Ramones

I think of End of the Century as The Ramones' most controversial album as it divided Ramones fans like no other. It marked their most blatant attempt at having a hit record, with legendary psycho producer Phil Spector, their tunes reached a new level of pop savvy-ness that they had previously never tried or would ever try to achieve again. Commercially the album flopped, like all Ramones albums, but with a band where consistency is the greatest virtue, End of the Century was unique.

That being said, I fucking love End of the Century. I think it combines the best of punk (The Ramones' previous four albums) with early/legendary early rock and roll girl groups that Spector was known for in his heyday (The Ronettes, etc..).

With THAT being said.. I fucking love the song Danny Says. I don't know why I like it so much, I can't really articulate the way it makes me feel when I listen to it, all I know is that any time I hear Danny Says, I turn up the volume and wish that the Ramones were playing the song in my room (a la Rock'n'Roll High School).

I guess since this is a lyrics website I'll say that the lyrics are fucking awesome.

    ------ About the song BONZO GOES TO BITBURG performed by The Ramones

I know, I know, some people say politics doesn't belong in a pop song, but does this apply to the shallow red, white and blue BS in contemporary country lyrics? The Ramones hit it out of the park with "Bitburg." It shows something a lot of people don't care to see: that Reagan didn't really give a damn about ordinary people, that his view of the world was whacked out. Then again, nowadays the GOP is so far to the right that Reagan wouldn't be welcome in the Party today. Re: an earlier post: Johnny Ramone, the band's great guitarist, was not a Jew and was (gasp) a Republican! He didn't care much for this song, and he apparently fought with bandmates over it. Hard to not like Johnny, though.

    ------ About the song I Wanna Be Sedated performed by The Ramones

The song is about that feeling you get when youre looking forward to something so bad and that last day drags out like a year. you just want to be having the fun of tomorrow but here you are 24 hours to go nothing to do nowhere to go
wanna be sedated - you must know that nervous excitement the day before a holiday. it gets over powering especially if you got nothing to do and nowhere to go

    ------ About the song The KKK Took My Baby Away performed by The Ramones

Dude this song has nothing at all to do with the kkk, johnny symbolized the kkk because he was a right wing conservative. joey wrote the song because johnny stole his girl.... like seriously it has nothing to do with discrimination if you dont like the song just shut up.
