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:
“O women, kneeling by your altar-rails long hence,
When songs I wove for my beloved hide the prayer,
And smoke from this dead heart drifts through the violet air
And covers away the smoke of myrrh and frankincense;
Bend down and pray for all that sin I wove in song....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“People fall out of windows, trees tumble down,
Summer is changed to winter, the young grow old
The air is full of children, statues, roofs
And snow. The theatre is spinning round,
Colliding with deaf-mute churches and optical trains.
The most massive sopranos are singing songs of scales.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Let me make the superstitions of a nation and I care not who makes its laws or its songs either.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
