Thanks for 100k views, everyone. Surprisingly enough this video didn't even hit 100 views until three months after it was uploaded, but slowly but surely it started to get a lot of views and I didn't even notice until about six months ago because I was busy working on other things. I'm really proud to have made a video to reach this viewpoint, even though everyone is here for the superb song, much less the video I made for it. And funnily enough, when I met CJ at a show during his Australian tour a few months back, he played this song and you know damn well that I was singing along to every word. Also if you guys enjoyed this video, please check out some of my other videos for more content, cheers. Click here to help me reach 2000 subscribers! ua-cam.com/channels/Fr4ghvDGcB1Tklq0lusr2Q.html
I met C.J. too! August of 2019 and my husband and I got All-Access passes thanks to his wife, whom I was getting to know on Facebook. CJ is REAL, kind, fun to talk to and he listened to us!... our every word. A real gentleman. Rare today.
Strange that so many lovers of classic rock hate the Ramones. The Ramones were just getting back to what rock was before bands like Zeppelin and Pink Floyd turned it into a huge production. I love Floyd and Zeppelin by the way, but I also like the Ramones and the Clash.
@Gabriel Aguirre i believe it was written after US President Ronald "Bedtime for Bonzo" Reagan's visit to the Bitburg war memorial in Germany, where he laid a wreath to the dead SS soldiers from WW2.
Yeah, I love a lot of different types of music, from Punk to Gregorian Chant, and though the Ramones are my favourite, I don't understand lack of interest or respect for them. Some people still see them as a cartoon flash-in -the-pan. Like, are they even giving them a chance? Their stuff varies in tempo and sound, yet it is pure rock n roll.
Plus, by the 80s the music from Led Zep and others (my heroes) had turned to flavorless,syntho-laced crap. The Ramones were one of the few in the 80s still laying down rock--true rock.
you seem a few years younger but I think we have almost the exact same musical taste. Bonzo Goes to Bitburg (specifically the cut off Ramones Mania) might be my favorite song ever. from lyrics to production to everything being where it needs to be
LYRICS You've got to pick up the pieces, come on, sort your trash You better pull yourself back together, maybe you've got too much cash Better call, call the law, when are you going to turn yourself in? Yeah You're a politician, don't become one of Hitler's children Bonzo goes to Bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy Pick up the pieces My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down Shouldn't wish you happiness, wish her the very best Fifty thousand dollar dress, shaking hands with your highness See through you like cellophane, you watch the world complain But you do it anyway, Who am I if I'm to say If there's one thing that makes me sick It's when someone tries to hide behind politics I wish that time could go by fast Somehow they manage to make it last 2 Follow
I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that's where the opening clip of this video came from (a brilliantly lip-synced a live performance with a purposeful 3 second delay )
Saw them in a concert in San Diego, the songs didn't sound the same live, just too fast and loud. Shows you the genius of the people that mixed the songs for albums
I saw them in Chicago with Social Distortion. I was so disappointed because I couldn’t tell one song from the other. It was just a blur of noise. Social Distortion was a far more enjoyable. I’m still glad I got to see The Ramones and I’ll forever love their stuff, but their show didn’t do it for me.
he apparently didn't want it to be titled "Bonzo Goes To Bitburg" because he thought it was disrespectful to Reagan, but they came up with a compromise by making the song's release title "My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes To Bitburg)". and I think Dee Dee and Johnny would've been fine with making fun of Reagan if it was just been in reference to some dumb statement he made about SS soldiers in a cemetery (though in my opinion he deserved more than just that, but that's just me).
@@alienlife7754 a true stoner type flick, kind of a cult classic. I watched it a ton growing up and then watched a few years back and was, eh, this is not so good anymore LOL.
Yes, "Bonzo" is the name of an old movie franchise about a monkey that Reagan starred in back in the 50s. And Bitburg is an old Nazi cemetary that Reagan visited in the 80s and made a speech about how there were good people buried at that cemetary. This song is about that event, in fact there's an old interview of Dee Dee and Joey talking about it. ua-cam.com/video/FnjQo9hhiOY/v-deo.html
A visit former president Ronald Reagan took to a WW2 cemetery in Germany. Wasn't a well received public appearance to say the least. Can find more on the wiki for the song

Looks and feels nostalgic 💗
Enlighten me for a mo......who the f... is "CJ".....?
@@PAULLONDEN WHAT????
No one slung their guitars lower than the Ramones. They will always be in the argument for coolest band ever.
Can't believe that they are gone, but they live in punk heaven forever
They’ve not been around for nearly 25 years. Surely you can believe it
The BEST Ramones song ever!
So true

I consider the Ramones as early punk and one of the best imo along with Iggy pop maybe they weren't considered punk in their day I could be wrong
@Gabriel Aguirre i believe it was written after US President Ronald "Bedtime for Bonzo" Reagan's visit to the Bitburg war memorial in Germany, where he laid a wreath to the dead SS soldiers from WW2.
Ramones are Ramones...one of a kind, no comparison, no labels, just Ramones...and I miss them more than ever...

This band...changed everything...Ramones ❤
I read that in William Shatners voice. 😄
Sin duda alguna él mejor grupo de todos los tiempos
pasan los años y siempre vuelvo a ellos.saludos desde argentina donde muchas veces brillaron 19-3-2021
Lástima que nací en el 98, es una de las bandas que más me gustan y motivan
Cool seeing Lemmy. He was such a fan!
The greatest band in the world.
RAMONES!!..Forever!!!!
Ｉ can't forget you. I love you,forever.

Por siempre
La Mejor Banda De La Historia! Punto!
Heya, this is brilliant. Thanks for taking the time to give us a great version of this song and the montage. Ramones rock and so do you.
LYRICS
You've got to pick up the pieces, come on, sort your trash
You better pull yourself back together, maybe you've got too much cash
Better call, call the law, when are you going to turn yourself in? Yeah
You're a politician, don't become one of Hitler's children
Bonzo goes to Bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea
As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces
My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down
My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down
Shouldn't wish you happiness, wish her the very best
Fifty thousand dollar dress, shaking hands with your highness
See through you like cellophane, you watch the world complain
But you do it anyway,
Who am I if I'm to say
If there's one thing that makes me sick
It's when someone tries to hide behind politics
I wish that time could go by fast
Somehow they manage to make it last

I have never heard anyone say they "hate" the Ramones! Smart to keep their mouths shut and not risk an ass kicking!
😭😭😭 LOVE RAMONES ❤️

When I'm listening to the Ramones, I go back when I was in high school
Great song, one of my favourites!

Strange that Johnny (republican to the bone👍🥴) went along making fun of his hero Reagan.....

@@chase.7780 we should all wish Reagan was President now. This would be a far better place! One of the best.
maybe johnny went along with it, because praising nazis is anti american. nazis hate the west and its values.
Why is this not on Spotify?!
Cause Reagan is a nazi
It's finally on it! "Bonzo goes to Bitburg" 🙌
