Judy Is a Punk

The other center channel filled with Tommy's drums and Joey's vocal right there in the center.

Their self-titled debut arrived on Sire Records on April 23rd, 1976, opening again with Blitzkrieg Bop and its defining, "Hey ho, let's go," and then followed by 13 other eq- th- 13 other equally prompt, amped-up jams, including Beat on the Brat, Judy is a Punk, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend, Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue, 53rd and 3rd, and of course, tonight's topic and album closer, Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World.

Start to finish, the album is 14 songs in under 30 minutes, and their debut codifies the Ramones formula: speed plus simplicity plus aggression plus '60s pop melody plus deadpan humor.

The album only reached number 111 on the Billboard album chart, and radio largely ignored it, as its stripped-down sound was radically out of step with the polished arena rock dominating American music at the time.

And these guys, I think from Queens, aren't they? It's the Ramones.

Now, they had a track called Judy is a Punk on their debut album, You Know That Well, I'm Sure.

Jackie is a punk, Judy's a runt.

On their... fourth album where they tried to get they got Phil Spector in and they tried to actually it's their fifth album End of the Century it was called and they had a big top ten hit from it as well a Phil Spector song one of the tracks on it was called The Return of Jackie and Judy yes it was okay you know the album
