Ramones - I Wanna Be Sedated

Album: Road To Ruin

Released: 1978

Joey Ramone came up with the idea for 'I Wanna Be Sedated' after he burned himself with hot water and had to be treated at a hospital. Ramone would inhale steam from a kettle before concerts to help clear his nasal passages. For Johnny Ramone's guitar solo in the song, he plays the same note 65 times in a row!
