And "Chain Saw" has the best lyrics on the debut.

I don’t know about that.

That Then I took out my razor blade is like carved into my subconscious. It’s like I can hear it the whole song like some kind of spirit it is my room singing it or something.

Eh. The Ramones always sound fun and kitschy and poppy but that moment is bleh.

Seriously though can we talk about how the lyrics on "Chain Saw" are on a whole nother level that all the people who talk about the Ramones' lyrics seem to ignore because they're plebes? Like, it switches between corny dated teen rock jukebox lyrics and silly nihilistic B-movie lyrics at the drop of a hat for no reason to the point that it becomes lyric salad and the only reason this should be so is because it's fun to sing along to that ****. Like the best lyrics ever almost maybe.

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.

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.

Definitely the same theme. It’s “ring me” not “ringy” though lol

Super underrated album btw

It definitely sounds like "ringy". TBH "ringy" is better. Probably why he doesn't properly enunciate. I'll ignore your correction.
