Johnny Ramone Has Cancer

I'm sure I would recognize most of these songs if I heard them, but none sound familiar to me.

The Ramones have never really had any major radio hits (their biggest single, Rockaway Beach, peaked at #68 in 1977), but quite a few of their songs have wound up well-known thanks to commercials and just for the fact their stuff doesn't age. Blitzkrieg Bop is famous for the "Hey... Ho... Let's Go!!!" chant. I Wanna Be Sedated is a certified karaoke classic, almost as cliche as Copacabana is

It is a real shame how they seem to be dropping off like flies, and even sadder media isn't giving them the tributes they deserve (I also feel that Joe Strummer of The Clash didn't get his deserved tribute when he died as well) yet a bunch of pop and r&b singers who had a couple big hits, but not really anything to change the landscape in music are treated like Elvis.

That clue you provided jogged my memory, and I recall the song now. Thanks.
