Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment Lyrics
I was feeling sick
I was loosing my mind
I heard about these treatments
From a good friend of mine
He was always happy
Smile on his face
He said he had a great time at the place.
Gimme gimme shock treatment.
Peace and love is here to stay
And now I can wake up and face the day
Happy happy happy all the time
Shock treatment, I'm doing fine.
I was loosing my mind

Gimme gimme shock treatment.
Peace and love is here to stay
And now I can wake up and face the day
Happy happy happy all the time
Shock treatment, I'm doing fine.

Punk wasn't invented by anyone. Punk is a state of mind.
This is a classic punk rock band and this song kicks ass. If you like any punk rock at all you HAVE to like the ramones!!
um basically ramone revolutionized rock and even though the new york dolss were the first... you gotta give it up punk wouldn't be anything if it wasn't for the ramones so pictures.in.words you have shitty taste! heh
if you like punk, how can you not stand the ramones. that is like loving football and not liking the overrated Super Bowl. Overrated? it took them a long time to get big. it doesn't matter i'm sure the ramones could give a rats ass if you like them pictures.in.words. that's why they rock
Ramones are, besides Sex Pistols and The Clash, the most important punk rock band in the world and have inspired so many other bands. They are great.
In terms of music, I think the Ramones are slightly overrated. In terms of influence they definately are not. They didn't start punk, but they made it big. Although their music was great, there were better punk bands.
ramones started punk, but they lost their way in trying to make money. i think the real problem is the american dream, and that they focused too hard on north america, where punk can't really take off - there is too much hope. they stayed around way past their welcome, trying to succeed. that's why the brits succeeded so much (and why they are so popular in south america) - because if you were born in the slums, odds-on are that you were going to die there. whereas american you always hear stories of the poor bloke getting the football scholarship etc. people in american can't truly understand punk - you have to be british. and who cares what they music is like? punk isn't about that.
and what the hell is the song about?
England is a very small place and it is easier to become famous there then in America. America being ruled by a huge corporate music industry and the moral majority types kept punk in the underground for years. Personally I wish it had stayed there. I hate dealing with the masses thinking that stupid bands like blink 187 are punk. They are not and never have been.

Hmm that sounds kinda opressive and demanding of you, Toxic. Or maybe I'm just taking things to far
ramones are god. I can see where youre comming from saying they arent that good but thats the whole glory to it. theyre so "not good" that it made them so good and revolutionary. i mean they were like amongst the best punk bands and yet their songs were so simple.
am i making any sense at all??
rock and roll high school! they used to rock and now they roll!
