Sheena was a punk rock's fan. Joey Ramones wrote this song and as you can listen the lyrics , there is a clear reference to the fun of surfing and disco, but Sheena "just could ' nt stay,she had to break away", she will prefer the punk rock.
If aliens ever come to Earth, and we displayed to each other the pinnacles of our civilizations, we'd still have a leg up on them because of these four guys.
One of the greatest pure rock and roll bands of all time. Defined what PUNK rock was all about for a lot us: fun, minimalist, and FAST rock and roll. There were lots of these bands in L.A., too -- Black Flag, Buzzcocks, and so on. New York had Television and England had the awesome Clash, Sex Pistols (before they degenerated into stupidity), and there was a lot of energy in the music. Green Day and Good Charlotte and Eve6 and Goldfinger and Mest and all those skate bands are the New New Wav
In my opinion Joey Ramone is the ultimate rock n roll hero. He grows up not really good looking and not apart of the Jocks or the cool crowd BUUUUT he winds up fronting the Greatest Punk Band ever and the greatest band to come out of New York City. To top it off he winds up in the Rock n Roll hall of fame lol. Joey Ramone fucking rocks. 4 eva
If you think there aren't any "real" punk bands anymore, I'd encourage you to get out and support your local music scene, wherever you live. There are always kids with guitars out there forming bands, and some of them are aweseome. I'm lucky to live in Indianapolis where we have a hell of a lot of good bands locally, and also have a lot of good ones pass thru. Get out there to the dive bars and see for yourself!
HEY I am a proud Ramone class of 82 Newtown High School NY. Greatest moment was getting into CBGB's when I was 16 to see THE RAMONES and become a lifetime addict to their music(thank u Diana...... I will love u 4ever)
Joey Ramone, RIP. These guys are very minimalist. They did so much with so little, 3 chords and pounding drums. The lyrics and tone of voice did the trick. And a pounding rhythm, of course.
I am not trying to be a wise guy or disrespectful. Regarding this song, I only detect three chords. If it was in the key of C, I would detect C, F & G & maybe A minor. Another thing is that they can use inversions of these chords so that they will sound a little different. With all due respect, you are welcome to send a reply with all the chords that you detect in SHEENA. You can either use the key they are in, or just use the key of C for simplicity. Thanks!
Mr. King of the Kongos, you are correct there are more than 3 chords. I checked two different tab and chord charts for this. In the key of C, it would be C, F, G and B flat. If one goes up by half steps, from B flat to B major to C, then there are 5 chords in this tune.
Yes, and A minor like you mentioned. I wasn't trying to be rude, but it is a common misunderstanding that ramones played simple music with three chords.
@Yuripadees I suppose "And the dancing about?" refers to the fans in the audience who are having a good time dancing to the Ramones tunes. I first heard the Ramones on WHFS-a Washington, DC metro area prog rock station in the early to mid 1980's. HFS got sold and went through different formats. I checked out END OF THE CENTURY, the documentary about them and was blown away. The Ramones actually did have tunes with 5-6 chords, but they taught that simple and direct is often better.
@Yuripadees No problem. I am over-educated, under-employed and overly-pontificate. I suspect I have a touch of OCD, obsessive compulsive disorder. Joey Ramone was OCD and a very cool and talented man. Many folks have OCD and Attention Deficit Disorder. I am talking too much already. Must be the caffeine in my coffee.
MJ is a BULLSHITS im so HAPPY HE DIED....coz Hes a MANIAC...if Your Commenting here just to compare RAMONES and MJ...well MJ is USELESS....MJ is LEGEND...BuT For us hes noThing ur just a normal person not like us we belong to THE BEST.....PUNK is The BEST
fucking idiot! i LOVE the Ramones, but not as mutch as Michael Jackson! he is a legend, his music really ment a lot. like the ramones to. IXIRIVERIXI go to hell
Agreed, people are still talking about michal jackson, I never heard anything about the ramones dieing. I don't give a fuck about michal jackson, I'm glad he died, one less shitty musician in the world
Given the interminable coverage of MJ's 'death', think on the fact that Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee are all now dead. and have received not a bit of the recognition they deserved.
I only wished I'd been alive to watch their concerts... I know 3 people who have all been to their concert, and I'm so jealous, becuz I love the ramones much more than they do!
I think it is more than fair to say RIP Ramones. The only members left were only 'fringe' members at best and were interchangable. Tommy, Marky, Richie, CJ and Elvis.
The loudest concert I ever attended. The Ramones at a small club in San Diego, with full Marshall stacks. I thought my ears were bleeding. I was deaf for days. It was amazing. Ramones R.I.P. Gabba Gabba Hey!
