originally written by richard hell and dee dee ramone, thank you.

there's a big problem over the credits for this one, to be honest. if we check out the credits on "end of the century", there's no mention of Richard Hell, neither Lure nor Thunders. the same is in 2002 reissue of LAMF - song is credited to Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee.

But it's true that Dee Dee told later he wrote this one with Hell in Debbie Harry's apartment :)

Айм сцорри. Пришлось подрезать слова - не лезли в лимит.

Джонни был м..к. Нет, всё понятно, трепещущая,нервная личность,и гитарист он был ни..льский, но если так жрать героин - это не закончится се..йным ужином с детьми и внуками.Тут возникает довольно длинный разговор, которого мы избегнем.А Джонни жалко, конечно... Да всех их жалко..

Watch the "Can Dee Dee Come Out and Play" documentary, he explains who wrote what and why. It was Dee Dee's girlfriend that was crying in the stall.

Dee Dee wrote the song and played it for Johnny, told him that he (Johnny) could use the song and Johnny told him he didn't like it, then ended up playing it all the time. Just listen to the guitars, you can totally tell that's Dee Dee's writing.

Well, it's no wonder that Dee Dee and Johnny are together in heaven! Guess they are still fighting it out...God bless them both & all of us!!!!

I love this song, the riff is gritty and dirty like it should be. I picked up how to play it within the second listen of the song. :D I like it a lot, and Johnny looks really cute on here too.
