comment |
Ramones is the debut studio album by the Ramones, released in 1976. Although not very successful at the time, it's since become one of the most influential records in Punk Rock and considered one of the Ramones' finest outings. Fan favourites are "Blitzkrieg Bop", "Beat on the Brat", "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend", "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" and "53rd & 3rd". The album was added to the National Recording Registry in 2012 for its cultural, historical and aesthetical value. |

Miniscule Rocking: 14 songs in less than half an hour, averaging out to about 2 minutes per song. The longest track just barely clocks over 2:30. It's part of the idea of going against the grandiose status of rock music of the time. |

Those Wacky Nazis: "Blitzkrieg Bop" which references the "Blitzkrieg" ("lightning war") tactic in which the Germans conquered Western Europe in 1940. "Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World", which uses the lyrics "I'm a Nazi schatze, y'know I fight for the fatherland." The lyrics were originally going to repeatedly state "I'm a Nazi, baby" until Sire Records president Seymour Stein told the band to change them. |

Real Life Writes the Plot: "Beat on the Brat" was written after Joey Ramone saw a mother going after a kid with a baseball bat in the lobby of his apartment. "53rd & 3rd" was inspired by Dee Dee's past as a male prostitute, though the murder in the song was fiction. |

Let Us Never Speak of This Again |
| | Ramones (album) (Music) / int_7d4a47d1 |
comment |
Let Us Never Speak of This Again: Dee Dee outright refused to ever go into detail about the song "53rd and 3rd", which featured a passage in which Dee Dee sings about "taking a razor blade and doing what God forbade". It's heavily implied that Dee Dee actually did attack a man with a razor blade, so it's easy to see why he didn't really want to reveal the full story behind it. |
