And of course this reminds me of "The KKK Took My Baby Away", one of the few songs I'd heard when I first started listening to the Ramones as a teenager. "Ringy ringy ringy/The President/Find out where my baby went/Ringy ringy ringy/The FBI/And find out if my baby's alive!" is one of my all-time favorite lyrics. It's the perfect encapsulation of the kitschy retro minimalism of the Ramones and is so memorable and fun.
