"Blitzkrieg Bop" (The Ramones)

"Blitzkrieg Bop" (1976) was the song that introduced The Ramones to the world.  The single didn't chart or get the band much attention outside New York and CBGB.  But then they toured the U.K., and within a year, young British rockers had adopted their jeans n' leather look as well as their minimal chords/max volume aesthetic.
The big difference, though, between The Ramones and their British contemporaries was that The Ramones were never really about anarchy, class warfare, and politics; they were just about stripped down, no glitter rock and roll, delivered in three minutes or less.  The Ramones also weren't ashamed to admit they had a strong affection for R&B and pop.  In fact, whereas British punks made it a practice to bash anything that remotely resembled pop, The Ramones embraced the fact that their Hey!  Ho!  Let's go! chant from "Blitzkrieg Bop" was inspired by the bubblegum pop song "Saturday Night" by The Bay City Rollers.
Anyway, this little 2-minute ditty is quite simply about the experience of a Ramones' show: high-octane kids, lightning-fast riffs, backseat nookie.
It's bubblegum pop for kids who steal bubblegum.
