Songs
"Danny Says" was written by singer Joey Ramone about the emptiness of life on the road touring, and is one of their better known and more delicate ballads. The "Danny" alluded to in the title is the Ramones' manager, Danny Fields. "The Return of Jackie and Judy" is a follow-up to their well-known early song, "Judy Is a Punk", appearing on Ramones, the band's debut album. The song elaborates on the two characters' lives. "Baby, I Love You" is a cover of a song originally recorded by The Ronettes in 1963, produced by Spector. "This Ain't Havana" is a follow-up to the song "Havana Affair", also on their debut album.

Famous quotes containing the word songs:
“So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
—Bible: New Testament, Ephesians 5:17-20.
“Music is so much a part of their daily lives that if an Indian visits another reservation one of the first questions asked on his return is: “What new songs did you learn?””
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
With a note or two to indicate it isn’t lost,
On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
