    General CommentOK, I'll show my age here since none of you grew up back then....
    Blitzkrieg is a word used for WWII Germany's Lightning War, and Bop was a dance..... but common!
    "They're generating steam heat
    Pulsating to the back beat "
    This song is about teenage sex in the back of a car!
    Bop was a word for sex back then!
    Look up Cyndi Lauper's song SHE BOP. It's about masturbation and rarely played because of it.
    (times have changed, now you can describe sex graphically and nobody cares...)
    Joey Ramone was Jewish (and related to Howard Stern), so I'm sure he's not singing a pro-Nazi song!
    Punk music is usually about sex, rebellion and having a good time!

    General CommentROCKLOB has the right definition of Blitzkrieg. In this case the "Biltzkrieg Bop" is a reaction (dancing) to a hard, fast type of music that takes you over in a surprise attack.

    It's all about the punk music (new back then) that the Ramones busted out with.
