Ramones - "I Don't Wanna Go Down To The Basement" - Ramones

[@justplainjimmy1481]

I saw and met the Ramones in Philadelphia in 1977. They were four of the coolest guys I ever met. I was just disappointed that they didn't play this one.

[@M8WhoSk8s]

Ah that classic ramones sound

[@chanjackie2299]

ah that classic comment

[@NachtSchreck13]

Ah that classic David Bowie sound, you mean. Listen to Bowie's "Hang On To Yourself" from the Ziggy Stardust LP. I still love this tune, and it's my favorite Ramones song.

[@joejones9520]

@@NachtSchreck13 ive always maintained that that bowie song was the first punk song however, other than the one instrumental part this song isnt similar to it

I ain't been a punk rocker in a long time. I'm a 90s kid but I fell in love with the Ramones. Took a while but I did it. When I got that two CD set I'd play them over and over. First recording I ever had of them was a recording of their live album on a tape made by a high school acquaintance.

[@highpointdad2006]

Love this., the way Joey sings it. Sounds like he’s down the hall , yelling back about something he’s afraid to do ., the switch from Daddy-O to ., Romeo-AHH ., like he’s stylishly buying time to maybe not go down there has me laughing through the whole song ., it’s freakin great :) We’ve all been spooked by basements :) RIP Joey., that perfectly odd guy that made that band world famous 👍

"I Don't Wanna Go Down To The Basement"; A) This song is about turning down the advances of the older gay men that cruised the area around CBGB’s (where young boypunx gather chickenhawx will descend)... OR B) This song shows the love that the Ramones had for B-horror films and were afraid of what's down there if they dared go?... C) A & B... As it was so shall it ever be...simply keeping it real with the truth...
