Rockin' In The 80s: 'Bonzo Goes To Bitburg (My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down)' by The Ramones (1985)

Rockin' In The 80s returns with a weekly issue, and this week we have the 1985 Ramones track Bonzo Goes To Bitburg. We all know who the Ramones were right??.. For those who don't remember they were and American punk-rock band from Forest Hills, Queens, New York, which began in 1974 and all members of course took on pseudonyms with the surname ending in 'Ramone' and so I won't go over the band members here. The song Bonzo Goes To Bitburg was a single released in the UK, and it was actually a protest song about a visit by ex-US President Ronald Reagan to a German cemetery where SS combatants were buried. The song became a big hit on college radio and the second release (re-titled as Bonzo Goes to Bitburg (My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down) of it appeared on the groups 9th studio album Animal Boy, which was released in 1986. And so there is another Rockin' In The 80s track, and believe there are countless numbers of them so there will likely be many posts under this title so stay tuned.
