R.A.M.O.N.E.S.

About R.A.M.O.N.E.S.

"R. A. M. O. N. E. S." is a song first recorded by the British rock band Motörhead on their 1991 album 1916 as a tribute to their friends and contemporaries, the Ramones. The bands were long-standing admirers of each other's work. Critic Andy Boot, reviewing the album in Kerrang (27 February 1991) described the song as "the icing on a very fine, if somewhat heavy, cake." Joey Ramone said of the track: "It was the ultimate honor - like John Lennon writing a song for you". The track was first aired before Phil Taylor and Würzel left the band and continued as a live staple until the end of Motörhead. It also appears as a bonus track on the album Fang Bang by Wednesday 13. The Ramones also performed it on and off until their final show in August 1996 at which C. J. Ramone and Lemmy shared lead vocals. Two different studio versions were recorded. One appears as a bonus track on their album ¡Adios Amigos! with C. J. Ramone singing lead vocals and the other one on the Greatest Hits Live with Joey Ramone singing lead vocals. more »

New York City, N.Y.C.,
Pretty mean when it wants to be,
Black leather, knee-hole pants,
Can't play no high school dance,
Fuzz tone, hear 'em go, hear 'em on the radio,

Misfits, twilight zone,
Are-A-M-O-N-E-S, are-A-M-O-N-E-S
RAMONES,

Bad boy rock, bad boy roll,
Gabba gabba, see them go,
C. Jay now hit the gas,
Hear Marky kick some ass,
Go Johnny, go, go, go, go
Tommy o-way-o,

Misfits, twilight zone,
Are-A-M-O-N-E-S, are-A-M-O-N-E-S
RAMONES,

Bad boys then, bad boys now,
Good buddies, mau, mau, mau,
Keep it up, rock 'n' roll, good music save your soul,
Dee Dee, he left home,
Joey call me on the phone.

Misfits, twilight zone,
Are-A-M-O-N-E-S, are-A-M-O-N-E-S
RAMONES,
