The most bizarre thing about this song (apart from the fact that The Ramones were doing a version of it in the first place) is that Phil Spector produced this version as well as the original, which was by the Ronettes!
I remember this version of the song being used on a ‘Yellow Pages’ advert on the tv and having been familiar with the original was reminded of it and so went out to buy my copy. It is intriguing how a tv ad campaign can generate sales of a long forgotten classic reintroducing it to a new audience and bringing it to life once again.
As you know by now (if you’ve been reading my blogette since Day 1) I love this type of song and this type of music and I love this Phil Spector produced version of it massively. Once again The Ramones were a bit of light relief from Gary Numan and The Human League and are a truly great band. Although not their greatest song this is my favourite Ramones number and so I commend it to you…
Enjoy…
