"I Heard Ramona Sing"

SUBJECT: A cryptic tribute to the Ramones.

LYRICS:
I had so many problems / And then I got me a walkman / I really liked it a lot, and / They walked right in and they solved them / They walked right in and they solved them / I heard Ramona sing / And I heard everything / The speed they're travelling / They are the only thing / Ramona / There were moments in the night / It was all right / There were moments in the night / I heard Ramona sing / And I heard everything / The speed they're travelling / They are the only thing / Ramona / I don't care if they're real or they're pseudo / I don't care if they get any higher / I hope if someone retires / They pull another Menudo / They pull another Menudo / They pull another Menudo / They pull another Menudo / There are moments in the night / It is all right / There are moments in the night / I hear Ramona sing / And I hear everything / The speed they're travelling / They are the only thing / Ramona

REFERENCES:
Menudo is a long running Puerto Rican 'boy band' wherein once a boy gets to a certain age (16, I believe), he leaves the group and is ceremoniously replaced with a new, younger boy.

LIVE: played a lot in 93, a little in 96

ACOUSTIC: yes.
