This was Joey Ramone's explanation of what this song is about: “It’s a road song. I wrote it in 1977, through the 78. Well, Danny Fields was our first manager and he would work us to death. We would be on the road 360 days a year, and we went over to England, and we were there at Christmas time, and in Christmas time, London shuts down. There’s nothing to do, nowhere to go.” “Here we were in London for the first time in our lives, and me and Dee Dee Ramone were sharing a room in the hotel, and we were watching The Guns of Navarone. So there was nothing to do, I mean, here we are in London finally, and this is what we are doing, watching American movies in the hotel room.”

There are two maintypoes of "old-school" punk - British and American. American punk was quite poppy and thrashy, and The Ramones are a good example of that. British punk was often less poppy, but still could be. You should try some British punk too (maybe The Buzzcocks' "Ever fallen in love" or The Sex Pistols "Anarchy in the UK". It seems quite tame by today's standards, but it was really radical when it came out.

Proto-Punk, like The New York Dolls, Iggy Pop and Patti Smith. As well as Blondie's later Pop Punk in the New York scene, has to be understood in cultural terms with offshoots in experimentation from the avant garde, pop art and experimental rock music scenes distancing themselves from the hippy movement of dropping out to more active DIY attitudes taken to revolutionary heights in the UK punk movement from 76-78. The 13th Floor Elevators, Bowie, Andy Warhol, Nico, Captain Beefheart etc are ones to look out for in seeding proto-punk.

Punk was/is underground music, but some punk was played on mainstream radio back then (late 70s, early 80s) like Ramones, Iggy, Joan Jett, and The Clash , etc. And new wave punk (The Cars, The Go Go's, Devo, Blondie, Missing Persons, Talking Heads, early The Pretenders, The Knack, Elvis Costello and the Attractions, B-52s, etc). But music like this was still not very mainstream at the time, had to catch it in alternative radio stations. Ramones were kind of poppy, surf rock, dance-punk, punk rock band. 🎸. Dance music, energy, catchy, simple. They were like a mix of punk rock and The Beach Boys lol. Yall are correct about punk..for the most part, quick catchy, fast, to the point, stripped down music/not too fancy, rebellious, happy sounding, fun, danceable, yet dark sarcastic lyrics. We didn't care when we were kids in the 80s., we just pogo ( jump up and down) , danced, and mosh/ slam dance to stuff like this 😆 Punk rock and new wave ( experimental branch of punk, artsy dance-punk) was a reaction, rebellion to longer, more serious, layered/fancy, slower music like commercial and prog rock and super long guitar solos ( which dominated mainstream airwaves back on the 70s), its completely opposite. Also, Lex and Brad yall can learn punk easy and quickly. Good for beginners, mostly power chords and quick riffs. Try it. It's fun.

In fact, they were such a local phenomenon that there was this one bar that a lot of performers would go to where they could just chill out and chat with the locals, and not worry about being mobbed by fans.. I was in the bar one night and Joey Ramone was there, quietly drinking just down the bar from me. Suddenly, Ric Ocasek of the Cars came in with his gorgeous model wife Paulina Porizkova--he had a birthday cake to celebrate Joey's B day. We all joined in singing for the birthday boy, with me banging my glass mug with a spoon and there was cheering, kissing and back slapping afterwards. Good cake, too.

I call it Bubble-Gum Punk--punk music that is heavily influenced by easily-memorable pop music riffs and choruses. But this was very early punk, influenced by earlier experimentation with folk pop music, which is kind of what the Velvet Underground did. Interestingly, it was the Ramones doing a show in London that started what most people consider the first true wave of punk (though it was more like the second), with members of immediate future UK punk bands The Sex PIstols AND The Clash in attendance; but ALSO the Ramones visiting DC that set off the next wave of punk in the US, with bands like Band Brains and singer Henry Rollins who would then take the sound to California with Black Flag, The Dead Kennedys, and X in turn influencing an evolution of the sound in New York and Philadelphia with groups like Fear.

Always a big hit at college dances in the mid-1980s. Could get the crowd jumping up and down like very few other songs.

BTW, if you want some fun weird punk neurons growing, check out "Janitor" by Suburban Lawns.

Thrash metal has so much to thank to these guys. These guys also went hand in hand with skate culture.

The Ramones were a Thing, a Vibe, a Brand, all unto themselves. They developed their look & sound and stayed with it to the End. Poppy Art Punk. Happy? How about “Beat on The Brat”? lol! More Ramones please.

This is my adolescence, the soundtrack to it. The Ramones never sold a lot of records, but they toured extensively for $$$. I think the lyrics communicate the stress of being a working band. Years ago Spin magazine ranked the most influential R'n'R bands of all time, the Ramones came in 2nd to the Beatles.

Exactly! The Ramones were touring and they were pushing themselves to get sleep and avoid fatigue. Yeah- you both nailed the story behind the song. One of the band members shouted “I wanna be sedated!” When their flight was delayed for 24 hours. The song was inspired by that moment.

Ramones weren't the first punk band as some people say, but they were definitely pioneers of punk, and they were a huge influence on so many bands. One of my favorite bands who clearly went to the Ramones School of Punk is 'Screeching Weasel.' Give Screeching Weasel a listen, most any of their songs are high quality entertainment.

The Godfathers of Punk, I love the Ramones! Nobody I know, from the top of my head, can sound simultaneously blissfully happy & completely depressed at the same time.

The Ramones were a response to hippie jam bands. It was a return 3 chord rock songs with 3 minute run times. They were a great band that wrote great songs.

Right. They played 5 times faster live. When I have a chore I don’t really want to do, like cleaning out the garage, I put on the Ramones ‘Greatest Hits Live’, and try to work to the music. The garage is cleaned out in no time. When The Beatles started, for a while Paul McCartney called himself “Paul Ramón”, so Ramones. The first Beatles album begins with “I Saw Her Standing There” with, once again Paul Ramon, counting out the intro, “One! Two! Three! Fawww!!” Ramones played like, every night for 25 years, then said “Adios, amigos!” and then they all died. How punk rock is that?

The Ramones were a big part of teenage years and my 20s. Hell, I'm 54 now and still love it. Actually just watched Rock and Roll High School recently. Haven't seen that in years. Great movie.

When they do it again. which was to play at the speed of light at the next concert, He wanted to be sedated to rest up for the next performance. Fun music is what I call it. What they lacked in depth, they made up for in sheer volocity.

The It's Alive live album is classic. Great song from great band that helped trailbraze punk! Always the debate of who founded punk, the Ramones or Sex Pistols. Lol
