MUSICALLY PUNK’D

I once read a book comparing Ramones to The Beatles that claimed the Ramones were just as musically influential and revolutionary.

A similarly themed Google search shows plenty of similar sentiments from Ramones fans and music critics. Even if you personify the entire musical genre of punk rock with just the Ramones, that seems a little far-fetched.

“Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue” is one of the Ramones’ more famous songs, allegedly written about peer pressure influencing one’s quest to find meaning in life. Maybe. You can decide for yourself if you want to believe that:

Now I want to sniff some glue

Now I want to have something to do

All the kids want to sniff some glue

All the kids want something to do

One-two-three-four

Now I want to sniff some glue

Now I want to have something to do

All the kids want to sniff some glue
