We danced all night to the sounds of the Ramones
It's Friday! It's three o'clock! It's time to Boogie At Your Desk!
Friday afternoons need a little something. I think they need a Top Tune. Something to make you shuffle in your seat and, if possible, Boogie At Your Desk. I'll be endeavouring to fill this gap on Fridays this year.
I'm not claiming that any track provided to enable At-Desk Boogying is one of the world's best or most profound pieces of music. It will, however, be a tune which makes me smile, and which has at some stage made me surreptitiously Boogie At My Desk.
Desks are not compulsory, of course. Feel free to boogie through your office, in your bedroom, round your lab, across your classroom, on the train - wherever you find yourself on a Friday afternoon.
If you like the track, go out and buy the album it belongs to - I'll try and recommend a suitable CD to purchase for any BAYD track.
This link will expire at some point in the future.
Today you were invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:
The Ramones - Rockaway Beach
You just can't go wrong with the Ramones. And now that Anthology costs practically bugger all in most High Street record shops, you've simply no excuse. Plus, because all Ramones songs are only about 15 seconds long, Anthology has about a million tracks on it.
The Ramones are as inseparable, in my mind, from the sound of summer as The Beach Boys. California Sun is hardly Californian Girls, but it's a summer anthem of equal merit. If you like your summers to come wearing drainpipe jeans, and carrying a tube of glue.
Sadly, I think there's only one of the Ramones still alive. But their musical influence is still being felt, and their songs are still everywhere.
Gabba gabba hey.

So you see:
Not enough Ramones in your life,
Turns you into a Stepford wife.
Or something.

After reports of you drinking Kronenburg and listening to Britney spears I was worried that someone had kidnapped you and replaced you with a trendy girl.
