Well I always loved it. I love the massacreeeee pronunciation and how the whole thing is wildly cartoonish. Obviously I always loved that movie. And it’s one of so many songs where Joey doesn’t get the girl. I mean if it were written late in their career it would seem like when The Ramones parody themselves like Apeman Hop or Cretin Family the song has a psychic vision almost. It’s like a horror dreamy nightmare vision of his worst fear expressed in absurdism. Then later Johnny steals his super sexy glamorous love in real life and he has to spend years in a van with this right wing bastard who’s ****ing the girl that ripped his heart out like he always knew would happen. ****ing nuts really. And yes the way the song bounces from bubblegum to slasher is fantastic and it all ties together as teenage hijinks.
