“I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend” is an endearing love song that proved to be one of the band’s most enduring compositions. The relatively tender song is seen as a nod to the Ramones’ early rock and roll influences. The studio version somewhat uncharacteristically features a glockenspiel. The song was written by drummer Tommy. According to Dee Dee Ramone’s autobiography Lobotomy, “We could have made a million dollars on it, because the Bay City Rollers wanted to do it.”

The Ramones proving once again that they are the world's best girl-group. The wall-of sound effect, the lyrics, the harmonies, they really did borrow quite a bit from Phil Spector. I think like their fuckin' about with pop-music better than their punk.
