[TheChaotician]

It was Dee Dee's lyrics.

JOEY GENIUS

@miLKpwNS1993 Thank you!

[cryptsub]

@tjburroughs Dee Dee probably wrote it as "Nazi schatzi" but Joey had a 'unique' way of pronouncing words and sang it like "Nazi skot-zi".

[miLKpwNS1993]

@muchtoocrazy "I'm a Nazi baby, I'm a Nazi."

[muchtoocrazy]

what's he singing instead of "I'm a shock trooper in a stupor"?

[tjburroughs]

For some reason it's not letting me post the 2nd ½ of my response.

[tjburroughs]

@guitarslinger48 I find that kinda funny since ½ the band @ that time was Jewish, but even more so cuz the very next line is, "I'm a Nazi schatzi ("baby" in German), you know I fight for the Fatherland." Frankly, I think the shock trooper in a stupor line is much better anyway. It's funnier, more picturesque, more Ramones. I guess Bonzo Goes to Bitburg atoned for this.

@tjburroughs

Seymour Stein said the song was offensive and insisted they change the lyrics before it was recorded.

Some of the stuff was on rumors of them. Like Phil Spector threatening to kill them if they left. He didn't. He just wanted company and didn't want them to leave. He had guns, but had a license to carry them, and they had keys so they could leave. Johnny got tired of how they stuck microphones in his face when he wanted to be somewhere or was in a bad mood. But I'm not sure about the racism. You might wanna look that up.

@stinkydo0d What, in End of the Century movie and On the Road With the Ramones when it talks about Johnny they're like oh yeah he was pretty racist and mean and hated interviewers.

[stinkydo0d]

@xDeadMisfitsx I read that Johnny was the coolest of them. He was friendly, and he liked to talk about movies. Dee Dee was okay, and Joey had to get used to you. Tommy was good too. Johnny was uptight in the beginning, because he went to military school from being a punk (punk being used in a bad way), and later relaxed more. But anyway, R.I.P. Joey, Johnny, and Dee Dee.
