Even if "Animal Boy" and "Ape Man Hop" were code for B-boy, which they're not, this wouldn't keep the promise of the remixed and retitled "My Head Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg)," because these days code is too fucking subtle. And what we get instead is jungle bunnies, two (pretty good) songs about Joey's drinking, another (not so good) one about his misery, Dee Dee one-for-three, the defensive-sounding "She Belongs to Me," the defensive-sounding "Crummy Stuff," and an anthem I believe called "Something to Believe In." If only they could stop squandering their compassion on cartoons and believe in something. B+

I don't think anyone's actually heard a Ramones album past EOTC.

because EOTC sucked and everyone that bought everything prior dropped them just like Kiss fans dropped them after Dynasty and REO fans dropped them after Hi Infidelity

Joey hated Bonzo Goes to Bitburg and was forced to put it on the album by (((producers and execs))).

yet it's one of the few songs he wrote for that album. the live dvd version with CJ was cool which made me go buy Animal Boy. too slick production. Road To Ruin was the last great album they did but I felt they should've stuck with Rocket To Russia production values

That was Jean Beauvoir who joined the band as producer and bassist. This was the first record that he was with the band.

Cuckgau was obsessed with that song for some reason known only to him and complained they didn't release it as a single in the US.

I think it was Johnny, not Joey. Johnny was the Reagan voting republican that didn't wanna go political in music, Joey was a jew

just so you know the infamous Bitburg Cemetery visit was arranged by Reagan's then-chief of staff Pat Buchanan who is a longtime closet Stormtard

Why don't boomers get the Ramones? Whenever I see somebody post "they only use three chords" I wonder why they even listen to music
