(This is Rock 'n' roll radio, come on, let's rock 'n' roll with the Ramones)

Rock'n, rock 'n' roll radio, let's go
Rock'n, rock 'n' roll radio, let's go
Rock'n, rock 'n' roll radio, let's go
Rock'n, rock 'n' roll radio, let's go

Do you remember Hullabaloo
Upbeat, Shindig and Ed Sullivan, too?
Do you remember rock 'n' roll radio?
Do you remember rock 'n' roll radio?

Do you remember Murray the K
Alan Freed, and High Energy?
It's the end, the end of the seventies
It's the end, the end of the century

Do you remember lying in bed
With the covers pulled up over your head
Radio playin' so no one can see?
We need change, and we need it fast
Before rock's just part of the past
'Cause lately, it all sounds the same to me
Whoah-whoah, oh

Rock'n, rock 'n' roll radio, let's go
Rock'n, rock 'n' roll radio, let's go
Rock'n, rock 'n' roll radio, let's go
Rock'n, rock 'n' roll radio, let's go

Will you remember Jerry Lee
John Lennon, T. Rex and old Moulty?
It's the end, the end of the seventies
It's the end, the end of the century

Do you remember lying in bed
With the covers pulled up over your head
Radio playin' so no one can see?
We need change, and we need it fast
Before Rock's just part of the past
'Cause lately, it all sounds the same to me
Whoah-whoah, oh

Rock'n, rock 'n' roll radio, let's go
Rock'n, rock 'n' roll radio, let's go
Rock'n, rock 'n' roll radio, let's go
Rock'n, rock 'n' roll radio, let's go

(This is rock 'N' roll radio, stay tuned for more rock 'n' roll)

    A lot of people define 'great' bands as the ones whose songs stay relevant. On that basis, the Ramones would be one of the greatest ever for writing a song that's more relevant now than it was at the time.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Amazing

From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
