The Ramones - I Wanna Be Sedated

[Yvonne]

"I Wanna Be Sedated" was written by Joey Ramone in 1978. In an interview about the song, Joey explains the chorus:

"It's a road song. I wrote it in 1977, through the 78. Well, Danny Fields was our first manager and he would work us to death. We would be on the road 360 days a year, and we went over to England, and we were there at Christmastime, and in Christmas time, London shuts down. There's nothing to do, nowhere to go. Here we were in London for the first time in our lives, and me and Dee Dee Ramone were sharing a room in the hotel, and we were watching The Guns of Navarone. So there was nothing to do, I mean, here we are in London finally, and this is what we are doing, watching American movies in the hotel room."

It was that song(really the whole "road to ruin" album) that got me hooked on the Ramones . Whats weird is 3 of the 5 are dead and you gotta add their manager who was murdered in 2007.
