“Judy Is a Punk” is said to be written about two overzealous real-life fans named Jackie and Judy. One interviewed in the documentary End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones claims that the song was “prophetic”, due to Jackie and Judy’s supposed later death in an airplane crash, corresponding to the lyrics, “Perhaps they’ll die, oh yeah.” The song features an intro that is simply one barre chord played at extreme speed. The Ramones recorded a follow-up song on the 1980 album End of the Century called “The Return of Jackie and Judy”. The song was featured on the soundtrack of the 2001 film The Royal Tenenbaums.

Das ist das erste Mal,dass ich Ramones höre,aber durch eine bestimmten Quelle bin ich auf die Band aufmerksam geworden und dachte,dass ich sie bei last.fm vielleicht mal genauer anhören sollte!!!Naja,für den ersten Eindruck ja nicht schlecht,aber ein wenig komisch!Ich denke mal,dass es noch bessere Songs von ihnen gibt
