There's a funny story about this song. When Dee Dee left the band, he went on to start a (godawful) rap career. Needless to say, it didn't last very long, and by one album, he started writing for the Ramones, again. The Ramones suggested they covered The Crusher, as it was their favourite song on the album. They changed the lyrics a little and made it more guitar-heavy. Dee Dee liked the cover so much, he played it like the Ramones version on his Solo punk album, Hop Around.
