Ramones Made Punk Pop before Green Day
"I Wanna be Sedated" and "Rock-n-roll High School". The Ramones were one the first punk bands in the US... 3 chords, loud, and crazy live shows with 30 2-minute songs. They motivated so many bands with minimasl musical skill to express themselves. They were true legends and trailblazers.
did you miss the first 3 albums?
"Sheena..." is one of the poppiest songs in the Ramones catalog (I can't think of one that beats it off the top of my head). It is an homage to their early influences, especially the Beach Boys and their immediate contemporaries.
Starts Beach Boys, but goes into a minor part that I cannot nail the influence of
Rock and Roll High School maybe?
U got it right... The Ramones liked the music of the 50's and 60's rock & pop... stuff like The Beatles, Beach Boys, Buddy Holly... short, simple & memorable songs. When the 70's scene came along, Led Zeppelin w/ their 'extended' songs and complex arrangements were in popular demand... so u had artists like Uriah Heep, Yes, Deep Purple, early Genesis, E.L.P. etc... and The Ramones hated that approach. They wanted a return to those simple, catchy tunes... and since they could not emulate Jimmy Page or John Bonham... they played their instruments w/ only the basic skills and tried to emulate that old sound that they loved... That's how u got short, punchy songs like 'Sheena is a punk rocker'... 'Judy is a punk'... 'Blitzkrieg bop'... etc... But in 1977, the public at large hated that sound in the disco era. However, in the UK and Europe, their sound started a revolution and created the punk rock scene there.
This is a pure Beach Boys' song indeed but with distorted guitar and direct rock beat. The back up vocals are very close to Beach Boys' sound.
You forgot The Ronnets. They were a huge influence
*you
To be fair, Johnny Ramone's guitar style came from the downstrokes of Communication Breakdown played over and over until it became the Ramones formula.
@@Oni64 (The late) Johnny Ramone was more of a Stooges fan than a Led Zeppelin fan... he really was not a great guitar player, but he used what he had...
The Ramones had many influences, including The Beatles, Elvis Presley and The Beach Boys. They took those sounds and sped them up and made the music move faster, hence 2 1/2 or 3 minute songs, with simple lyrics. They were better musicians than many punk bands, got to see them four times over the years, only the drummers changed. Johnny, DeeDee and Joey were always there.Here are a few to try: Rock and Roll High School, Cretin Hop, Pinhead, We're A Happy Family, Do You Remember Rock and Roll Radio? and Lobotomy. Go.
Dee Dee left the band as well and was replaced by CJ Ramone.
@@TattooedTownie That was after I saw them for the last time.
This one is very Beach Boys-esque.
Those whole first two albums? Nothing but awesome!

Ramones - I Wanna Be Sedated
🎸🤘
When they played live, they played twice as fast as this.
true :)
I was at a contest for coverbands once. All bands got 20 minutes of play. The Iron Maiden band played two songs. The Ramones band played eleven.
@@ragulper It's hilarious because it's true.
Yup, this is the Beachboys version (they literally called it that).
Also, a girl band sometime in the 80's did this song and did it REALLY well, I remember my sister barging into my room with big eyes saying "I like punk now" and I was so proud of her.
FOUND IT! : ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=shebang+sheena+is+a+punkrocker
they were some wild fuckers on stage
3 chord magic. Seeing Lex dancing to this remind me when I saw the Ramones back in the day at the clubs.
I got to see the Ramones twice, once at Flushing Meadow Park and once at CBGBs. Fun and enjoyable. Glad I had the chance.
Ramones surf punk. Beach Boys meets The Clash. Yall are right! 😆 It makes you want to pogo (jump up and down) and slam dance a little.
1,2,3,4 ......... RAMONES for life ....... !!!!
Y'all ALWAYS reacting to my favorite songs. It's amazing
The Ramones are so fun!
I love their cover of needles and pins, damn near makes me cry.
Yeah, shout out to Sonny Bono.
Check out Questioningly. Itll finish you off.
California sun is also a great track, but any Ramones is appreciated!!
I was just thinking that you might like a band called Devo.
That's Good is good.
Uncontrollable Urge is good as well. They did a pretty decent cover of Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones. A great band from Ohio. One of the first techno bands. Whip It and Fresh were big hits for them. Very cool band.
Only seen these guys once but still in top 10 of all the gigs/concerts I've ever been to. Plus top 5 in loudest ears rang for days😎
I saw them in the late 80's. When I left the show my canvas shoes were shredded and I had to take off my shirt and wring the sweat out of it. Balls to the wall from start to finish!
@@amachvt I hear ya one of my 1st punk rock gigs when he came out with a baseball bat for beat off the brats I thought they were going to start cracking heads 😂😂 it was a wild show huge pit stage dives ect. Dr No and parria opened
Agreed , stones and ramones my favorites live ! - neal a
Saw them on their last tour. They were amazing
Youngstown Agora!!! Was a great Venue seen them!
Punk with Beach Boys vibes. Ramones must be the most melodic punks.
Ramones was the best live act I ever saw and I saw a lot. Metalica, ACDC, Guns and Roses, Aerosmith, the Clash and and and
But the Ramones live was allways the best. They made the crowd jump and dance the moment they entered the stage.
Saw the Ramones at City Gardens in NJ. They blazed through the first 5 or 6 songs in what felt like 5 minutes. 1234 into the next song 1234 into the next song and so on and so.
Love the Ramones, this is one of my faves.
Ramones are my all time favourite band. When our second was born, Sheena was the name we had picked out, if he had to have been born a girl. I was also partial to Joey for a girl's name.
If you remember the sad scene in Pet Cemetery, where the truck driver is singing? He’s singing this song before the fatal scene. FUN FACT: Steven King is a huge Ramones fan! He has a Ramones song in several of his movies. ☺️
And in the remake during the same scene the truck driver gets distracted by a phone call from Sheena 😂
And it's Stephen King is the trucker driver.
It would of been better if the truck driver was listening to Ramones- pet cemetery.
@@slymecookies4482 I did NOT know that actually. I’m learning new stuff here. Thanks now I need to see it again! I saw it at the theatre when I was very young. The Zelda parts were the scariest for me 😱
I haven't seen the remake but I will keep that in mind. Is it an exact remake or just a similar story ?
Lex is a punk rocker now! The screen on my phone is cracked so when I watch you guys it looks like Lex has lighting bolts coming out of her head. It's kinda cool.
You should look into Rockaway Beach next, it's another of their songs with a happy vibe.
I used to play guitar in a punk rock band. It was super easy. It was fun to watch the crazy audience kick the shit out of each other
I remember seeing the Ramones in concert when I was kid.. great show
It sounds like a beach boys song and a song called talk dirty to me all rolled into one.
Amyl and the sniffers- Hertz. If you’re having a punkathon. Watch the official video, you won’t be disappointed. Love from Liverpool.
Ramones are to punk what Black Sabbath are to metal. They are the shoulders on which all others stand.
errr not really
@@fredshred5194 yeah second this. Ramones are not all that …
@Marcus funny you mention the word Hell, Richard Hell now theres a big influence. Ramones tell me who did they influence, music wise? Yes they were there , but play Sheena is a punk rocker, and then play a Sex pistol tune any, they don't compare or Richard Hell. I'm not saying their nobodies but I think Erock1970 was going a bit over the top. But hey did influence a lot of punks to wear a leather jacket, but that is style over content.
Must be unfortunate to not have heard the stooges or mc5
@@fredshred5194 Ramones are to punk ,what 3rd is to counting (as in they're not first).
You can definitely hear the love for the Beach Boys in the Ramones music
Ramones is like a heavier and faster Beach Boys
Just what I thought! So much Beach Boys in there!
And ‘the Queers’ are a perfect mix of the beach boys & Ramones!
Pretty much!
@@bw8359 Nailed it. Was just going to mention this. The Queers are fantastic.
Stooges
Lol! I never thought of that. Ramones do sound like The Beach Boys on steroids. Happy sounding punk. It's like Weezer is too for alternative rock. Happy sounding grungy alt rock. Maybe the surf rock style music, melodic doo wop style singing. Just like the Beach Boys. Punk rock, hardcore thrash, and hip hop and other music are music skaters like to skate to. Or surfing on surfboards as well for that matter!
Punk kind of has old rockabilly roots from the '50s and '60s. Elvis Pressley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, etc. The the garage rock/proto punk roots of the '60s/'70s like MC5, Velvet Underground, The Stooges (Iggy Pop), etc.
Yall have heard Ramones at sporting events, tv, etc. Brad. Maybe it sounds like "Good Vibration" or "Surfin' USA" from The Beach Boys?
The best live band of all time. Non-stop blitzkrieg punk making you pogo for an hour straight. Always great for losing a couple of pounds ... great sweaty fun!!!!
Another great reaction. And yeah Lex, you nailed it about dropping the consonants off at the end of the phrases. One thing you have to keep in mind if you imagine being at one of their shows is that they were definitely loud. They were extremely loud you could feel it punching through your chest in your body on the low-end and on the upper end your ears with ring for three days afterwards. What's up may have a cheerful Vibe but it definitely punched you and your gut in your face at the same time and it did it to a whole bunch of people at once and people just went nuts dancing. Actually open for them once in Chicago and it was incredibly loud and we all loved it.
There was nothing like a Ramones show. Life changing.
@@artis1969 can confirm. My first show was the Ramones when I was 16....around 1988 or so.
@@ericevans1972 1987. I was 17. Ive seen s lot of great shows and a lot of great bands. But that first Ramones show is a rite of passage. I remember a concert review that said enjoying the show became secondary to surviving it. Always thought that description was dead on.
@@artis1969 That is a perfect description!
Ramones are the band of my teenage,love.
First true punk band and have the best punk album of all and it gives a sense of what their show was like. Album - "it's Alive" from London '77. That'd be a great concert to do your clips from
All-time favorite! Got to see them live, twice!!! 😃
Outstanding Choice. Been jamming to this one since i was fourteen.
my favourite album ! loved the ramones
In this episode of Brad & Lex, lyric video? Who needs it when you've got "cheery vibes". Just a tiny dose of the Ramones 1977 classic Punk song and the self admittedly "happy" Lex, gets all jokie jokie, then goes into her "bop" bag, pulling out some of her renown moves as Brad issues out a mild "side to side sway".
Hüsker Dü is another band that‘s surely worth listening to. Songs like New Day Rising, The Girl Who Lives On Heaven Hill, Pink Turns To Blue or Celebrated Summer come to my mind
yes!
Also, Diane, Could You Be The One, Don't Want To Know If You Are Lonely and Makes No Sense At All...
Could You Be The One?
You two are great, love that you're checking out the NYC puck scene....Ramones, Patti Smith and the Clash and Pistols from across the pond.You have to check out Richard Hell 'Blank Generation'.
It was the anthem of that NYC scene and a killer song.
Another fun Ramones song is Rockaway Beach. I was lucky enough to see them 4 times in the 80s, even got to go back stage and be a roadie for a night.
One of the OG bands of punk and helped make it more mainstream.
Brad is correct. Punk influenced grunge and alternative rock.. Many of the early grunge groups were punk influenced, just played slower and heavier distortion like Black Sabbath. Song structure, style and also lack of or very short guitar solos. Back to basics rock music. Punk rock is/was very anti-prog rock .
Prog rock groups like Rush, Kansas, Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc. Long, layered rock music with multiple solos. Punk rock is the opposite of that and rebelled/reacted against prog rock. Punk is faster louder energy outburst music. Straight to the point.
The basis of both is basically three chords and go! Love it.
I think that point goes underplayed by reactors- as you say, punk was a rejection of prog rock.
But I don’t have to choose, so I guess I won’t.
I'm just gonna say you can never have enough Ramones. I'd be a happy hombre if you'd react to Judy Is a Punk
Was a big time NYC punker and this was foundational R&B punk, bread and butter punk. Getting influences from the Beach boys, garage rock and the girl groups of the 50's & 60's. We Want the Airwaves, 9 to 5, and too many others to mention.
Oh now I feel fecking old as dirt. Love you guys majorly, never stop being you.
Punk is much more polylithic genre-wise than it has been projected. There are so many different types. One band Metallica idolized were The Misfits, whose tempo changes, styles and lyrics are a more primitive, less technical version of what you hear in Metallica's music. Since The Misfits are renowned for being the original and quintessential "horror punk" band, it's easy to see how Metallica's music and themes are derivative of those found in the music of the Misfits. You could also find that Metallica's style was heavily influenced by the rise of 80's British hardcore punk bands like GBH, Exploited and the UK Subs.
The Ramones drew a lot of inspiration from 40/50s do-wop and 60s surf rock. They had a fresh sound and, with Lou Reed and others, were at the forefront of modern Punk.
Ramones are one of my favorite bands. You need to check out their movie Rock n Roll High School.
I Want To Be Sedated is my favorite song by the Ramones 😎😜
You could react to the whole album; you would be done in less than 30 minutes.
Hey ho, let’s go.
Hint: There is a punk version of these boots are made for walking by Pure Hell. I had the 45.
You don’t need no stinking lyrics video. Most of them are in the title.
Ramones have a lot in common with bubblegum pop. Silly music played for laughs. Hard Core came about five years later.
Personally I never really got the Ramones, 3-chord punk but they were clearly very popular. Beach Boys on speed. Of the US punk bands I much prefer Dead kennedy's and Black Flag, both who obv came later
The Ramones basically were trying to revive 50s rock.
Most early Ramone shows were around 20-25 minutes, thats for a set of about 15-17 songs. Everything under 2 minutes.
It was like a non stop assault.❤
Ramones have a HUGE Beach Boys influence.
They do a great cover of the Ronettes " baby I love you"
The Ramones were something to behold live. They'd launch into these songs, drive through them, briefly stop, and bang ... they'd be in the next song. I saw them a couple of times back in the day when their tours hit Chicago ... nice memories to have!
YESSSSSS!!!! The Ramones are the punk godfathers
PUNK ROCK in the 1970's and 80's was a movement in Music. Kids were fed up with Music like disco and 10 to 20 minute + songs. They were 2 to 3 minute songs that kids could start a band and play Music and get their aggression out from school, their parents or all the things that kids didn't like, or thought they didn't need, like a job or a career they just wanted to have FUN and be a kid until you needed to settle down. So bands like The Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Cramps, The Dead Milkmen, The Stooges, The Damned, The Buzzcocks, The Dead Boys, The New York Dolls Television and so many more. IT WAS A FUN TIME!!!! Some of the bands became F'n Good Also ♥
True. A lot of those prog rock songs can be 10 - 20 minutes long. Especially prog rock groups like Pink Floyd and early Rush.
I just got this song out of my head after the last time I heard it, in 1987.
The Ramones are one of those where understanding the lyrics is not a critical factor, lol.
It sounds familiar because the Ramones are really wearing their influences here: Doo Wop, Surf Rock, Beach Boys, Surfin' Bird, and lots of others.
I think "Sheena" is very reminiscent in particular of "Tutti Frutti", Chuck Berry (I think?)
I saw them in the later 70s. Tons of energy , no time between tunes. Just 1-2-3-4 !!! The Ramones sounded like a big fun cartoon. Motorhead even did a song about them.
I saw them live about 10 or 15 years ago
Man they were good
The song you are humming is "C'mon Everybody" by Eddie Cochran. The Ramones were fans of 50's rock n roll and 60's surf music.
The Ramones were highly influenced by the girl groups and pop acts of the 50/60s, which comes across in Joey's vocal melodies.
I saw the Ramones at Summerfest in Milwaukee 1990. I got dragged there by two friends that were really into them. All I can say, as I was not familiar with any of their music, is that the only way I could tell when one song ended and the next one started, was a very short pause in the obscenely loud noise, for a quick burst of 1-2-3-4, and then the noise was back. The 1-2-3-4 was the only discernible lyrics I heard from any of the songs.
😆😆😆
The Ramones - 4 great guys; 4 great chords! I love the Ramones - but that old joke is true. The elder statesmen of punk. Unfortunately, the only time I ever saw them live was not a fantastic show. I think it was around 1993 or so in a small club in Philly. Joey ran out on stage and leapt into the air with a ton of energy and landed in a cool pose. He then didn't move another muscle for the entire rest of the show -- which lasted around 35 minutes. Even so - these guys are legends, and I'm glad I got a chance to see them.
You can tell these guys loved the Beach Boys! Love the vibe!
Ramones - Rock n' Roll Radio
Ramones - Chinese Rocks
Ramones - Psychotherapy
Ramones - The KKK Took My Baby Away
etc.
Yaaay! I LOOOVE the Ramones!!! Please keep going with them!
Yes!!! This makes me so happy. More Ramones please!!
Wait I know what it sounds like….98% of all the other Ramones songs! Gotta love ‘em ❤️
1984, I had the opportunity to work at LA' mours east Queens NY. The very first show I worked was the legendary Ramones. I had the chance to go back stage to stock the bar, and the Ramones were rehearing there set of songs that they played that night. So I pulled out a joint lit it up , it was just the Ramones, there manager and myself. It was surreal.
Well the kids are all hopped up and ready to go
They're ready to go now
They got their surfboards
And they're going to the Discotheque Au Go Go
But she just couldn't stay
She had to break away
Well New York City really has it all

That song reminds me of Surf Rock. I may have mentioned before. Here are some Fun Punk Songs you might like:
The Nails : 88 Lines About 44 Women (lyrics recommended)
Wall of VooDoo : Mexican Radio
The Knack : Good Girls Don't
Modern English : I Melt With You
Fine Young Cannibals : She Drives Me Crazy
Soft Cell : Tainted Love
One of my fav Ramones tunes!
If you like this, maybe try Screeching Weasel, My Brain Hurts.
I love how she is just so open to different music genres.
Probably the most Beach Boys influenced punk rock song ever. As for the ancestry, slave work songs begat the blues, the blues begat rhythm and blues, rhythm and blues begat rock'n'roll, rock'n'roll begat garage rock, garage rock begat 70s punk, 70s punk begat "neo-punk". :) For more Ramones, try "I Wanna Be Sedated" or "Blitzkrieg Bop".
Ramones is The Beatles of punk!
One of the greatest bands ever. One of the best live bands ever. My favorite Ramones song is ‘Judy Is A Punk’.
P.S. - Someone needs to send Brad a motorcycle jacket.
yeah you dont need lyrics, us young punks in 1983 etc used to write out what we thought they said on paper...well i did, dont know if anybody else did lol
i once met a girl called sheena on a drunken night out. guess what i sang at her all night. needless to say my serenade was not successful.
The sound is reminiscent of "California Sun" by The Rivieras, which the Ramones also covered.
Out of all the influential punk bands, I think Lex will vibe with The Ramones the most.
Kings of punk. Grew up with these guys
Ramones turned "Spider-Man" theme into a head bobber! Surfin' Bird Too!
If you want to get a little more hardcore with the Ramones, I'd suggest listening to Warthog.
They wrote great songs. I saw them open for White Zombie around 95 or 96. Wish I appreciated them then like I did years later.
I've known 2 Sheenas and they were both named after this song. 😅
Def one of my fav Ramones joints
Chill in on Poison heart by the ramones for a different vibe.. peace..
Founders Punk. Their own genre now "Ramones Core." Bless your heart Lex still clapping on 1 and 3. Just listen to the snare drum. LOL Keep kicking ass Rock Warriors!
My sister snuck me into a club to see these guys when I was sixteen so 1980 I think. I could tell you the story but you'll have to buy the book.
Punk rock is just so human. Nothing more honest in music
love that you are getting more into the Ramones... they started punk rock, and their intention was to dial rock music back to the energetic sound of the 60's.. short melodic bursts of energy, as a reaction against both the softer West Coast rock of groups like the Eagles, and the bloated "progressive" rock of groups like Styx and ELO. They didn't particularly intend to start a whole new genre of music (ie punk rock), but that is exactly what they did.... they basically took the pop sound of the Beach Boys and British invasion groups like Herman's Hermits, and played it with the heavy instrumentation of the Stooges.... but like all truly great groups, they have many different dimensions... the two songs you have checked out so far... Blitzkrieg Bop and now Sheena... are their pop angle... for some heavier, more recognizably "punk" songs, check out "Loudmouth", "53rd & 3rd", or "Commando'... for more pop punk songs, check out "I Wanna Be Sedated", "Rockaway Beach", and "Cretin Hop"... for something in between, check out "We're A Happy Family"... then ask yourself why radio wouldn't play these songs!! The fact is the Ramones wrote lots and lots of great songs, and they are usually melodic and funny. As a live act, they emphasized the heavy angle, and they played LOUD! The best live show to watch is from a London UK show on New Years Eve 1977 at the Roundhouse.
It's tough to say exactly who invented Punk. I think a stronger case can be made for the Stooges and New York Dolls. The Ramones are definitely pioneers though.
@@marceramo2952 you could add MC5, Velvet Underground and the Thirteen Floor Elevators.
@@marceramo2952 Not really tough at all. The Dolls and Iggy & the Stooges were part of the Glam Rock of the early 70's... the Dolls wore platform shoes, and on the cover of Raw Power Iggy is wearing Glam stuff... The Stooges on their first two albums weren't really Glam, but for Raw Power they were renamed Iggy & the Stooges and Iggy had become glam in his appearance... I saw the Dolls in 1973 and the Stooges in 1974, and it was Glam Rock... we all had platform shoes and wore sparkly stuff... and this was us guys! When you see the famous tape of the nascent Ramones at CBGB's in September 1974, you can see Glam Rock still clinging to them...ua-cam.com/video/IwsVWZ-c8Eo/v-deo.html ... look at the satin outfit Johnny has on with leopard trim... that is Glam Rock..... and then the rehearsal tape the Ramones made of themselves several months later in early 1975, you can see that they have clearly moved from Glam Rock and created a new identity that we recognize as Punk Rock... when I saw the Ramones in September, 1976, you knew just by their look that Glam Rock was dead and this was something new... Punk Rock.. if you've never seen it, here it is... it is fascinating... watching the birth of a new genre... ua-cam.com/video/Z3CJUUeGYZY/v-deo.html
