@thisissway I believe the lyric is: "Well I try not to bear a grudge, a girl's gonna hitch a ride / Things ain't been the same since my mother died." Maybe it's just a crazy in-joke.

I'm a Ramones fan, all right, but after reading all these comments about how fantastic the COB version is, I thought I'd check it out. I really wanted to hear a good Ramones cover. But it wasn't that great. Only the choruses sounded real good. The guitar solo was disposable. The ending was decent...

I remember lying in bed in 1960, with the covers pulled up over my head, so my parents couldn't hear my transistor radio tuned to KFWB in Los Angeles for Duane Eddy, Gary "U.S." Bonds, Hank Ballard and the Midnighters, the Crests, the Shirelles, the Ventures, the GREATEST!

...bourbon so sour...

Looks like Johnny's getting his connection at 1:25 - 1:27.

Moral: watch out for those farmers' daughters with champagne eyes who tell you lies.

She could probably drum in Bozo boots; she just wants to look hot for the viewers.

Did Lesley Gore grow up to be Tipper Gore?

Mick sounds like he's imitating Otis Redding's cover version of the song.

@MikePeluso Victor "Moulty" Moulton was the drummer in the Barbarians. You can hear their songs in YouTube.

Any top songs list without "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!" is taking itself too damn seriously.

Five people are for it.

8 people really wouldn't understand.

This song has everything you'll ever need.

First you go up to somebody and say, "I bet I can guess your phone number." They take the bet. Then you say, "I guess that your phone number is 436-9875." They say that's wrong. Then you say that you bet that you could guess the number, not that you could guess the number correctly. They're disgu...

Something put somebody in my drink.

I bought the 45 when it came out, still have it, still play it. By the way, the label says "G.T.O.," not "Little GTO."

The main problem was that Spector usually produced singers backed by his choice of studio musicians, but with the Ramones he had to produce a self-contained band.

Ain't gonna work on Matt Groening's farm no more.

The tune sounds a lot like "Got My Mojo Working."

Eric's intentions are still good.

The organ mood perfectly matches Eric's vocal. Let's give Alan Price some credit here.

What a stompin' classic.

Wait a minute: out of all the Doctor V's in southern California, how did Marlowe know to go to Dr. Verringer?

Eight people fail to realize that there's only one of MEEEEE!

When this song first came out, me and my high school buddies thought the line "I'll call up the preacher, tell the choir to stay HOME!" was totally maniacal.

Why does the movie have English subtitles? For deaf viewers?

This is a BAND!

@J5MARLON Well, the Ramones recorded "Baby I Love You" by the Ronettes. Too bad the Ronettes never regrouped to record "The KKK Took My Baby Away."

@SerenaBay Daddy G is also mentioned in "Quarter to Three" and "Having So Much Fun" by Gary "U.S." Bonds.

It's a great song until you realize it's a rip-off of "Heart Full of Soul" by the Yardbirds.

@redc1c4 If only!

@rocksinger45 You're right, being able to stand on your own two feet beats a brand new, shiny red super-stock walker.

21 people would rather ram a lamb with their ding-dong.

If this is supposed to be story of Chess Records, where's Bo Diddley? Sonny Boy Williamson? And, for that matter, Phil Chess?

Iggy's French listeners probably thought he was singing about Louis XVI.
