‘Havana Affair’, ‘53rd And Third’ ‘I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend’ , ‘Bonzo Goes To Bitburg, probably all of them including ‘Slug’ and THE RAMONES version of Tom Waits ’I Don’t Want (Wanna) To Grow Up’.

6. "Beat On The Brat" is always the first one I think of

For sheer weirdness, though, I don't think ANY of their songs can beat "Warthog."



I don't know the full "backstory" on that one, but it's pretty freakin' apparent that Dee Dee Ramone...who sang the lead vocals on that track...was channeling Johnny Rotten.

He wanted to play guitar, not bass, but after a few rehearsals, it was clear that Richie Stern wasn't very good on bass, so Dee Dee switched from guitar to bass.

and was written (mostly by Joey) in protest of Ronald Reagan's visit to a German military cemetery, which included graves of Waffen SS soldiers.

Retitled "My Brain is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bittburg)" the song appeared on their 9th studio album, "Animal Boy" in 1986.
