I was the proof reader for comedian Freddy Lewis's autobiography called 53rd & Manischewitz. Negotiations for releasing the book are still underway with a major publishing house. To be clear, NO royalties will be due to The Ramones.
Little known fact: Comedian Freddy Lewis wrote a song called, “53rd & Manischewitz”. He claimed it had nothing to do with the Ramones. xoxo The Clarences
Hilarious that people now think this is some LGBT anthem 😂 It's about Dee Dee rolling gay tricks, he used to scare them by pulling a knife and telling them he was a former Green Beret.
I think you should look up the definition of " turning a trick " pal . Dee Dee did what other street kids did for money to pay for heroin he turned tricks which according to his own words and the dictionary definition means he "engaged in sex acts for money ' he didn't mug Johns . Look it up .
Not as funny as you not knowing the difference between "turning a trick " and rolling a trick ( which isn't the lyric by the way ) . The song says " trying to turn a trick "not roll .
"Then I took out my razor blade Then I did what God forbade Now the cops are after me But I proved that I'm no sissy." It is poetic, tragic and comical at the same time. Dee Dee had a stroke of genius here.
There’s got to be some New York qwar that DeeDee ripped off on 53rd and 3rd that’s still alive. Come forth and tell us about it that’d be a funny story.
Me n my bro were on 53rd n 3rd on a trip to NY. He said “Yoo look up! Look where we are!” We stood around for a few minutes
I was there too but I didnt see any prostitutes trying to turn a trick.
Maybe it was another part NYC?
@Franlpk9587 Manhattan was REMARKABLY different in olden times
@@franlpk9587this song was written almost 50 yrs ago! 😅 I'm pretty sure that intersection has been gentrified.
Let hope Dee Dee is there shedding light to the wannabe prostitutes so they don’t have to turn tricks like he did
There's a statue of The Ramones in the lobby of "The Lipstick Building" at that corner.
These guys are so good ! It blows my mind. The Ramones Rock Joey,Johnny,Dee Dee, Tommy, Marky, Richie, Elvis,And CJ.
Love it ! I never heard of Elvis Ramone. What about Ringo Ramone?!
Great song ❤

The greatest lyric on the world 53rd and 3rd
Accidentally discovered this jam through a MetallicA cover my sophomore year in HS. It’s been my favorite Ramones song ever since 🤘🏻🤘🏻
If Bonzo Goes to Bitburg is one of the serious songs, 53rd & 3rd is like an Alice Cooper nightmare set in New York with Dee Dee as the character.
