#47 Ramones, 'Ramones' (1976)
“Hey Ho! Let’s Go!,’ begins the debut album by Ramones. One of the most iconic and recognisable lyrics of all time was inspired by the Rolling Stones lyrics “High hose, tippy toes” on ‘Walking The Dog,’ the last track on their debut record. Taken from the song ‘Blitzkrieg Bop,’ the title was inspired by Nazi “lightning war” tactic and was written by Tommy and Dee Dee Ramone. Interestingly, Tommy was the son of Jewish Holocaust survivors who were saved by friends. Dee Dee grew up in Berlin, before moving to NYC at the age of 15. Growing up in post WWII Germany, he had a fascination with Nazi relics.
