I saw her walking down the street He jumped down, he knocked her off her feet, uhh And then I knew it was the end of her (1234) He's gonna kill that girl He's gonna kill that girl He's gonna kill that girl tonight

I wanna be sedated

Bus ride, it's too slow.

Blitzkrieg Bop

Do you remember

Just silly. ^^ Actually the whole song is fun, but I just picked these lines because that's where I was in the song when I started typing.

Joey sings these lines over and over again, and these are all the words in this song.

That's ALL that's being said!

How is it that looking in the medicine chest makes you not want to grow up?

??? What does that mean? And is the Blitzkrieg Bop German?

You're calling that bear a punk? Look who's talking! You guys, the Ramones are the first true punk rock band!

Like hell you do. You're a punk band!

That's ALL the lyrics to this song and they're repeated again and again. This song is less than 2 minutes in duration!

Both the end of the '70s and the end of the century are now past. Actually the end of the '70s had passed by when the album End of the Century came out in 1980, though I guess you could sort of argue that the beginning of the '80s was the end of the '70s (s--t--r--e--t---c----h).

This was fine at the time, but the Ramones are now part of music history, which is why a lot of their current fans began listening to them in the first place.

Hullabaloo, Upbeat and Shindig were pop music showcase t.v. shows in the 1960s. Ed Sullivan was the host of The Ed Sullivan Show, a multi-genre t.v. variety show that ran 1948-1971, hosted, unsurprisingly, by Ed Sullivan. Because of the breadth of genres it presented, it was important in bringing rock 'n roll into wide public awareness. Murray the K. was a radio dj in New York City in the 1960s who promoted rock 'n roll & pioneered FM rock 'n roll radio. Alan Freed was a radio dj in 1950s credited with inventing the term "rock and roll" to describe a genre of music & with promoting the genre & black musicians across racial lines, first in Cleveland then in New York. Jerry Lee refers to Jerry Lee Lewis, early rock 'n roller ("Great Balls of Fire"), John Lennon was a member of the Beatles, T. Rex was a British band with great success in the early 1970s later seen by some as a precursor to punk & New Wave, Moulty was the one-armed drummer of the band The Barbarians, whose most famous song was called -- wait for it, --- ----- "Moulty." Moulty may be an indirect reference to music producer and Patti Smith bassist / collaborator Lenny Kaye, whose 1972 compilation album "Nuggets," recovering early psychedelic rock 'n roll "garage band" music, often distributed regionally more than nationally, was an influence on the punk rock rebellion against "progressive rock" and over-produced California music; "Moulty" was on "Nuggets." Kaye was active in the scene around CBGB in New York that launched the Ramones.

"Cretin Hop" by the Ramones themselves. The title is derived from 2 Ramones hits - "Cretin Hop" and "We're a Happy Family".

I kind of wonder if this is the same baseball bat that made it into "Peanut Butter Jelly Time."

This reminds me of when I was a kid and was scared to down to the basement by myself. This song is actually a satire on B-Horror films.

The rest of the song's lyrics describe a criminal type. As for screwing the other guy's girlfriend it's probably safe to say she won't fall for this creep so that means he wants to RAPE her : (

"Massacre" is pronounced "mass-eh-cree".

There's so many uses of the phonetic "A" sound here! Also note the "Hey! Ho!"s, referring to another Ramones gem, "Blitzkrieg Bop".

Hullaballoo, Upbeat, Shindig, and The Ed Sullivan Show were all musical variety shows in the 1960s.
