About Somebody Put Something in My Drink

"Somebody Put Something in My Drink" is a song by the Ramones from their 1986 album Animal Boy. The song also appears on the Ramones compilation album Ramones Mania. Written by Ramones drummer Richie Ramone, who had joined the band in 1983, "Somebody Put Something in My Drink" was based on an actual incident in which he was given a drink spiked with LSD. This song has been covered by Children of Bodom, The Meteors, Plan 4, Nosferatu, Mortifer, Farben Lehre, Acid Drinkers, Reincidentes, and The Beasts. Australian band Tequila Mockingbyrd included a cover on their album Fight And Flight. Pop-punk band Spazboy recorded the song for the 2001 tribute album, Ramones Maniacs. Greek punk group Panx Romana recorded the song with altered lyrics in their native language. A music video for this song was filmed, but for financial reasons, never completed and released. However, a rough cut of the track can be found on the Ramones: It's Alive! 1974–1996 DVD. This version was performed without Richie Ramone. The song was featured in the 1987 movie Like Father Like Son with Dudley Moore, Kirk Cameron, and Sean Astin as well as Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever.

Somebody
Somebody Put Something In My Drink
Somebody

Another night out on the street
Stopping for my usual seat
Oh, bartender, please

Vodka and Tonic's my favorite drink
I don't like anything colored pink
That just stinks...it's not for me

It feels like somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something

Blurred vision and dirty thoughts
Feel (out of place), very distraught
Feel something coming on

Kick the jukebox, slam the floor
Drink, drink, drink, drink some more
I can't think
Hey! What's in this drink?

It feels like somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something, in my drink in my drink, in my drink, in my 
Drink

So you think it's funny
A college prank
Goin' insane for something to drink
Feel a little dry

Oh, I couldn't care what you think of me
Cause somebody put something in my drink
I can't think
Hey! Give me a drink

It feels like somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink

Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
