Ramones, Blitzkrieg Bop, 1976
Hey ho, let’s go! Hey ho, let’s go!
Hey ho, let’s go! Hey ho, let’s go!
They’re forming in straight line
They’re going through a tight wind
The kids are losing their minds
The blitzkrieg bop
They’re piling in the back seat
They’re generating steam heat
Pulsating to the back beat
The blitzkrieg bop
Hey ho, let’s go
Shoot ’em in the back now
What they want, I don’t know
They’re all revved up and ready to go
They’re forming in straight line
They’re going through a tight wind
The kids are losing their minds
The blitzkrieg bop
They’re piling in the back seat
They’re generating steam heat
Pulsating to the back beat
The blitzkrieg bop
Hey ho, let’s go
Shoot ’em in the back now
What they want, I don’t know
They’re all revved up and ready to go
They’re forming in straight line
They’re going through a tight wind
The kids are losing their minds
The blitzkrieg bop
They’re piling in the back seat
They’re generating steam heat
Pulsating to the back beat
The blitzkrieg bop
Hey ho, let’s go! Hey ho, let’s go!
Hey ho, let’s go! Hey ho, let’s go!
Ramones, Blitzkrieg Bop dall’album Ramones, Sire Records, 1976
Compositori: Douglas Colvin / Jeff Hyman / John Cummings / Thomas Erdelyi
I Ramones nascono nel 1974 a New York dall’incontro fra quattro studenti della Forest Hill High School: John Cummings (Johnny Ramone), Jeffrey Hyman (Joey Ramone), Douglas Colvin (Dee Dee Ramone) e Tommy Erdelyi (Tommy Ramone).
Il gruppo viene notato durante una delle sue esibizioni al CBGB’s di New York da Lisa Robinson e Danny Fields, che lo scritturano per la Sire Records.
Così i quattro entrano in sala di registrazione e ne escono dopo soli sette giorni con Ramones, pietra miliare nella storia del punk. Il successo del disco d’esordio raggiunge l’Europa e la band compie il suo primo tour in Inghilterra come spalla ai Flamin’ Groovies, entrando in contatto con i Sex Pistols, i Clash e i Damned, futuri eroi del punk d’oltremanica.
