Soundtrack
A soundtrack album was released around the same time, but included only a limited number of songs from the film. The two main Ramones songs in the film, the title song and "I Want You Around", were remixed by Phil Spector for the album. The original film versions were not officially released until the 1999 CD Hey! Ho! Let's Go: The Anthology.
