Top Ten Judy Songs: Judy is a Punk (#6)

Tweet

THE TITLE DOES NOT APPLY!!!!! I’d better get that out of the way quickly!!! We only have one “punk,” and that’s Crossbones…and he’s not a punk but more into punk music. So was I back in the 70s, which is why this song is here. Here’s today’s Judy song…and again, THE TITLE DOES NOT APPLY!!!!! #6: Judy is a Punk - Ramones Of course, everything was a punk to the Ramones. Like Sheena! (“Sheena is a Punk Rocker.”) The funny thing is that they never say “Judy is a punk” in this. Jackie is the punk, Judy is a runt! The entire song is silly, a cross between heavy influences of “I’m Henry the 8th I Am” (“second verse, same as the first”) and the old Burl Ives “There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly” (“perhaps they’ll die”). And if you hate it, it’s only 91 seconds long. Lots of fun from the Ramones…and remember, when it comes to our Judys, THE TITLE DOES NOT APPLY!!!!!!!!
