Best Opening Lyrics: No. 3

"Hey, ho, let's go!"
--The Ramones' 'Blitzkrieg Bop'

The four words that spark late-inning rallies at Yankee Stadium are also the words that started punk rock.

Listen to the line!

Hell Yes. The Ramones were the grandfathers of American punk rock. They are revolutionaries. As an avid Ramones fanatic I hate to admit that their later music was a feeble attempt to get some commercial attention. But honestly, anyone who doesn't appreciate the genius in their early songs, how they were so elementary and simple, well,they are missing out. For a band that is so unjustly under represented in the music industry, it always excites me to see them recognized.

btw; KKK took my baby away? Possibly my favorite song in the history of music.
