Same here. I watched the movie back when Internet wasn't accessible to me and I could never find this song. Here I am, 17 years later. And I feel 10 years old all over again.
Alpha Male Drives Hard ..yes!! 🤣 I loved the songs in the movies, it’s what got me into rock in a time when pop music was all I ever knew due to having no internet to find other genres. And still today I hear these songs and say “oh it’s that song off school of rock” about every song on school of rock... Lol. Classic
I’ve been a somewhat Ramones fan all my life . And yet ?? I never heard this Song until SOR . Fell in love with it immediately! I’m a bigger fan of the Ramones now . ( did you ever hear them do the Stones Out of Time )??? So freaking cool !!!!!!! Stay safe as always 🤠
Ramones foi subestimado sempre. A melhor banda de todos os tempos. Respeitado por todas as outras. Fez da simplicidade sua virtude. Músicas apaixonantes e sinceras.
Luis Mario is right. Johnny loved Reagan and didn't want to do this song; it's a miracle not only that they record it, but even that they included it in the live set list; Dee Dee wasn't against Reagan that much, but didn't like what he said in Bitburg; Joey was ABSOLUTELY against Reagan.
RIP Kevin Clark, aka Freddy Jones from School of Rock. You shined brightly dude, you rocked, and left everyone in awe. You will never be forgotten. Live in the moment everyone, life is too short, never know when it will be our fade to black.
It was personal to him, the story goes that President Reagen didn't want to go to a concentration camp in Germany but he did attend a cemetery with SS soliders buried there when he visited West Germany in July 85' I think. Joey was jewish and was obviously furious about this ridiculous decision and wrote this song about it.
I just wanted to say RIP to Dee Dee, Joey, Johnny & Tommy Ramone. RIP also to Kevin Clark, who as a preteen, was the drummer in the School of Rock. They had this song in one of their scenes.
Monica Ritvo which is weird 'cause the songs about American Fascism...particularly Reagan's visit to a Nazi graveyard where he honored "all" the soldiers involved. ya know..."fine people on both sides" of course 😒
@@guthax30 So what??? just because that's the meaning that YOU find comfortable for your interpretation you are not supposed to enjoy it or be excited? because this song is one of the most powerful songs i have ever heard and it always makes me hype as fuck, that will never ever change.

" _Drank at all the bars in town to understand your foreign policy_ " Every one gets this line wrong. The song is about Ronald Reagan visiting a Nazi grave, while in Germany in the 1980s.
yeah, my fave movie montage of all time -- with freddy watching videos of the best drummers ever, looking like he's just found the holy grail -- rip...
Coming from the city if Bitburg in Germany, this song always feels like the unofficial anthem somehow xD it is just great that a huge band like the Ramones is singing about this little town here

oddly its a quite unhappy message, communicating the writer's feelings of confusion and anger regarding Reagan's visit to Bitburg. you can hear it in Joey's voice, though it could be miscontrued for a generally excited tone.
This song changed my life, hearing it from a young age and it being one of my favourite songs through my teen years nevermind all the new 'emo' I was drawn to metal and punk combined I love this band my dad's best friend played with the drummer and is a massive fan I remember seeing all the memorabilia at his house everytime I went as a kid
This is fakin great masterpiece. The best song to cheer you up a little bit. Great start with guitars and then it keeps rolling like rock 'n roll. Johnny Ramone is my superhero :)
@@louisesmith4373 Thank you very much colleague ... I only came to say what music represents me personally ... she must unite us ... never separate us!
Saw them at the Cameo on Miami Beach in the late 80's. Took a hit of acid and told my friend to make sure I got home. In my heart forever. The RAMONES ❤
When I was younger I remember styling my room the way I wanted, not giving a damn what anybody thought. This played in my head the entire time… I miss you 2003!
I remember this song from one of the first few times I watched school of rock as a wee one, was looking for ‘cup of tea’ in the credits for years, randomly thought to search it up and I’m so glad I did. Brought me to tears, Love to you all ❤️
I was introduced to the Ramones by my Dad (b.1964). He introduced me to them at quite an early age. At that time, he was married to my Mum (from whom he's been divorced for some time now) and drove a Saab 9000.
IO had tickets in 1995, but was too hung over to go, I decided to go next time and Joey died about a year later. Fucking so pissed at myself for not powering through it.
've discovered this song recently (New Years Eve, 2022, alone in a bar then heard it on the Internet lovely people everywhere on the streets), although I lived in NYC for years !! Ramones are alive, thank you, you make me happy :) LOVE YOU I feel the same way
everytime i listen to this song it makes me feel like a 8 year old watching school of rock again, so grateful for that amazing film and this awesome song
I never really listened to ramones growing up, was more all the newer metal/rock at the era of my time as a kid but for some reason this song stuck with me through my whole life, it has that feel good aspect to it that just helps you get through life that little bit easier, makes you realise not everything in life is bad. Easily my favourite song from my younger years growing up and still to this day has an impact on my life
Like others in the comments, School or Rock showed me this song in middle school. Not until years later that I fully understood the musical depth and power of the lyrics. If not a perfect song, near perfect. Thank you Ramones and Jack Black for introducing people to this gem.
School of rock, yes, but with a different twist. I was always wondering who was that black drummer with that toothy smile. Did my research, found out about Art Blakey and got also addicted to jazz hard bop. Was already a (prog) rock fan, became a 60's jazz fan. Been "chasing the trane" in "the core" for quite some time. WHAT AN EPIC MOVIE
It's odd how I never really see people talking about the message of this song when it's such an explicitly political song. It's almost like the song is too good for it's own good. No one really takes the message to heart because they're distracted by how good the song sounds musically.
Agreed! The lyrics could really be about anything as long as they are angry about something and it would work because the tune itself and its hooks are so good.
The lyrics are *VERY* specific. In general people like songs they can relate to in one way or the other. Not many people in the past 30 years can relate to anything having to do with Ronald Reagan. Also, I think more than a few people, myself included, take Johnnys side on this one in regards to the lyrics and not necessarily agree with them. He didnt like the message but played it anyway. I think its one of The Ramones best and most complete songs from start to finish. Lots of Ramones songs have a sing along chorus or whatever but are otherwise kinda incomplete. This song has all the structor of a great song. Without knowing what the lyrics are in reference to, they seem just kinda obscure.
Too bad this song was written by a scumbag punk rock star who hated Ronald Reagan. This exemplifies everything wrong with politics. The idiotic uninformed performers having a bigger voice than our leaders. Especially when the leader is republican.
This is a song about an American President laying a wreath on Nazi graves. Regan justified his decision by saying the Nazi soldiers were, "were victims, just as surely as the victims in the concentration camps".

Your opinion has a very good basis, because is a PERFECT song (and it's one of my best loved songs of them too, since I hear it the first time)
they knew it was one of their best songs, if not the best, in fact they made it last 4 minutes which is unusual for the Ramones
Johnny Ramone doesn't agree.

You've got to pick up the pieces

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 to understand your foreign policy
Pick up the pieces
My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down (x2)
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, am I to say
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 to understand your foreign policy
Pick up the pieces
My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down (x2)
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
My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down (x4)
Thanks!
Thanks too

Sound like but its not like that

A song that proves that bands are better voices of the people than politicians ever will be.

Truly one of the greatest songs ever written.
Probably the Ramones' best song overall. A few more famous punk ones but this one stands the test of time for me

Agreed! The lyrics could really be about anything as long as they are angry about something and it would work because the tune itself and its hooks are so good.
The lyrics are *VERY* specific. In general people like songs they can relate to in one way or the other. Not many people in the past 30 years can relate to anything having to do with Ronald Reagan.
Also, I think more than a few people, myself included, take Johnnys side on this one in regards to the lyrics and not necessarily agree with them. He didnt like the message but played it anyway.
I think its one of The Ramones best and most complete songs from start to finish. Lots of Ramones songs have a sing along chorus or whatever but are otherwise kinda incomplete. This song has all the structor of a great song.
Without knowing what the lyrics are in reference to, they seem just kinda obscure.
@@mjriemen I don’t see how you could possibly take Johnny’s side. Joey was 100% in the right.
@@clinteldorado yeah simping for nazis is not at all based and Reagan is a sellout, glad he's in the ground
Somebody in 2021, listening to this huge song massive by the band ramones that moves your heart and adrenaline E Nostalgia...🔥🙌🤘🤟
One of the greatest rock songs of all time and more relevant now than ever. 2020 has my brain hanging upside down, that’s for sure.
Saw ur pfp and got confused cus i didnt remember commenting on this vid lmao
xmatanuix lol all hail boognish, brother!
True
Yeah!
Too bad this song was written by a scumbag punk rock star who hated Ronald Reagan. This exemplifies everything wrong with politics. The idiotic uninformed performers having a bigger voice than our leaders. Especially when the leader is republican.
Pure, windows-down, sing-along bliss!
this song makes me feel like everything’s gonna be okay

This is a song about an American President laying a wreath on Nazi graves.
Regan justified his decision by saying the Nazi soldiers were, "were victims, just as surely as the victims in the concentration camps".
Peak Ramones tbh. This stuff is where they shined the most. Impossible to beat
This song suddenly makes me wanna excel in music class..
Animal Boy is a awesome album with great lyrics and music
They were going thru a lot of things personally then but still recorded a great album...
