Ramones - I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend (1980)

[@TheLocoHobo]

"Heres a llittle tear-jerker for all you suicidals out there.." lol

[@richardmcdonald9418]

*Tear gets jerked. *Also sweats in 10,000 degree weather

[@topale70]

I was 10yo in 1980. I assume Suicidals were a precursor to Goth & Emo?

[@carolinehuth5715]

Joe, the 'father of punk'....Tall, sweet, shy, pink or black sunglassed, strange eyeball, full of simple love in his heart....

[@TheLarryburns84]

I want pink glasses like he had.

[@abber1979]

Sexy voice rite :-)

[@monkfistlust]

😆

[@MinimarkEmpre-jw3lw]

falto la y en su nombre por favor es JOEY EL UNICO

[@samgroll3605]

I love the way Joey talks when he's on stage

[@spinetta0010]

I hate it

[@WafflesandWhales]

Joey Ramone has one of those voices that is incomparable to any other voice in the music industry, both past, present, and probably future. As I was listening to this song, I was trying to figure what makes it so awesome and I found that Joey is like all of the world's singers packed in to one body. He can have clear pristine voice when singing ballads or he can have a sort of growl when singing "harder" songs. It really is amazing to watch this video.

[@jasont2074]

💯

[@SergioArellano-yd7ik]

I thought they were red

[@JVW325]

how does he sing so perfectly with such a loud band behind him? great voice.

[@markremmers7990]

Monitors in front of him or later in ear monitors

[@willerror]

This version sounds more like the incredible '74 demo than the album version. Much better. I love Joey's "oh-oh-oh"s and how he stretches "boooyyfrie-eh-eh-nd" out.

[@scottbeater-man3714]

I love how Joey sang live. It was very unorthodox. Very unique. And his phrasing was very unique. Rest in peace to all four original ramones

[@caio20118]

First time I listen to a live version of this song. Awesome!!

[@thayc3262]

Look up Tommy Ramones acoustic version when he was an old dude. Its quite beautiful. From what I read, this is the very first Ramones song. Tommy wrote it.

[@christopherXscum]

where on earth did you hear that? they were doing the fast Tommy Beat shit way before they slowed to this. I believe Tommy may have wrote it.

[@thayc3262]

I have read every book available by The Ramones and for the Ramones

[@rizaltambunan9343]

I love that Joey style of singing

[@ChadTimblin]

One of my favorite Ramones tunes. I wish this video had more Johnny footage though!

[@RobRoast]

I like how when I burn a CD, a Ramones song fits in right at the end because they're usually less than 3 minutes long.

[@deedeesgirl]

Seriously Joey had such a great voice! The Ramones are gods.

[@claireparker7093]

Aww i absolutely love this song ❤and Ramones are my favorite band 😎

[@MansonsGothGurl19]

thanks, i hate it when people diss the ramones they are the best even though joey, dee dee & johnny are dead they are & always will be the best i've listened to them since i was a little girl

[@moxie96]

I've been stopping whatever I'm doing whenever this song comes up for 31 years! Joey sounds magnificent durring this decade of the Ramones!

[@037016]

Cool, sweet song- I can't help watching this over and over again!! Joey's voice is awesome

[@Montesgirl78]

awesome song ...even though the Ramones are an old band i cant stop listening to their songs!

[@Guiltless765]

R.I.P Tommy Ramone..

[@antmfangirl]

Joey, I wanted to be your girlfriend :(

[@MichaelSmith-jw8qw]

song still rocks--so glad this was taped

[@manskullman6509]

I’ve always loved the Ramones, saw ’em 3 times and loved ’em ! Syill do it ! 😊 jon fisher

[@Felipe_Ramone]

After a period with Phil Spector, Joey learned a lot of techniques, which can be seen on this video.

[@aliendrone]

AGUANTE RAMONES Y ARGENTINA LOKO !!!

[@melissanelson5073]

After 46 years I am still in love with Joey.

[@grutzwurst8229]

!!!...Masterpiece...!!!

[@1967PONTIACGTO]

Great version of this song, and I love the pinky-blue lighting.

[@bigbadredsox]

We will never see the likes of these guys again! Too bad.

[@RHhitchhiker]

this is the best version of i wanna be your boyfriend (,:

[@zepps88]

i wish this song was longer. i could listen to this all night

[@calupy]

amazing how they turn a simple song with simple lyrics and a similar guitar sound like blitzkrieg bop, into a pretty good song

[@DAN13LS70NE]

Heard it on Jackass last night and immediatly loved it. Thanks for posting.Stoner

[@niemals9837]

Was and will be the best band forever

[@nere996]

RAMONES FOREVER ....NADIE JAMAS LOS IGUALARA,,,,,,, LA MEJOR BANDA DE PUNK ROCK I WANNA BE YOUR BOYFRIEND

[@Billyrogers7]

Hopelessly in Love. RIP Jeff Hyman ( Joey Ramone). 1951- 2001. True Pioneer and legend. Sorely missed.

[@chihironakahara4204]

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

Wow they sounded fuckin' great there, joey in terrific voice, and i always love it when they do the ballads live cause they fatten up the guitar sound compared to the record. of course, they rarely did these songs live, so excellent post! i guess boyfriend would sound shitty faster, so they couldn't play it much deeper in the '80's when they played so fast. ONE COMPLAINT: harsh ending! you cut it off right as johnny was going into a super rare improve solo! 2 rare ramones events back to back!

[@chancewatkins5071]

Thanks SO much for sharing this, this is awesome; Jesus Christ Bless you! :)

[@chancewatkins5071]

Awesome thanks for sharing Jesus Christ Bless

[@carolauld8722]

[@karenalyson]

[@uncoolbeans]

[@yoyoyonew]

[@Distorcionbeto]

Ramones 4 ever!!! Peruvian Fan!

[@billie_skreamz]

i wish the ramones were still around, its so tragic that the most amazing band of all time is gone forever. this is an amazing song, the ramones are the fathers of punk. with out them punk probably wouldnt exist. r.i.p joey johnny and deedee. you are gone but never forgotten i fuckin love this band.

[@deedeesgirl]

I dont care what anyone fucking say I love this song. Just because they had some love songs doesnt make them any less punk, and it certainly doesnt make them poppy. The Ramones are the best band there ever was or will be.

[@curran429]

RIP Ramones. You tore the rest to bits.

[@tates5rule]

yeah, i love the Ramones. :-] all american rock n roll. VIVA LOS RAMONES!!

[@wonderlin1]

The Punkj Era - saw them in like 77 & didn't even know who they were - but they were so fucking good - I still remember it - they rocked & it was in a little bar in Providence Rhode Island.

[@jansensteve06]

[@robisallbyhimself]

yes, i'm not stupid. but as a band the Ramones lives on, there music is played countless times every day. all musicians are immortal because their influence lives on in all of us.

[@ramonasweet5508]
