447 (replacement): "The KKK Took My Baby Away" The Ramones
"The KKK Took My Baby Away"
The Ramones
Pleasant Dreams
1981
Phew. That's better. Seriously that Neon Trees commercial is the worst thing since AIDS.
I wish I had more Ramones songs on here, but, well, pretty much you put one Ramones song on you've put them all on. So consider this entry to also include "Beat On The Brat", "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker", "Rockaway Beach", "Blitzkreig Bop", and "Pet Sematary".
INSIDER ROCK KNOWLEDGE:
Joey wrote this song after fighting with Johnny Ramone over a girl. Johnny, of course, was well known as a conservative, and Joey was a bleeding heart punk rocker, so just to twist the knife in the song Joey basically called Johnny the motherfucking Ku Klux Klan.
No one will ever be cooler than Joey Ramone. Sleater-Kinney will agree with me later in the blog.
