Namechecked - Joey Ramone
It's time for an arbitrary rule change.
For this series I have now decreed that a song namechecking someone which has previously featured on CCM can feature again PROVIDING it is accompanied by another song namechecking the same individual!
Controversial
So today we have the previously featured I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone by Sleater- Kinney accompanied by the new to CCM Dancing With Joey Ramone by Amy Rigby whom I believe is now Mrs Wreckless Eric
Joey himself has previously featured with General Johnson with The Godchildren of Soul and of course with the Ramones.
Here he is with the Bruddas
Sleater-Kinney - I Wanna be your Joey Ramone
Amy Rigby - Dancing with Joey Ramone
Ramones - We're a Happy Family

I would have put money on Helen Love featuring on any Joey Ramones name-check post. Great choices, nonetheless CC
ReplyDeleteNever thought of that one Jez. I have it digitally but not on the shelves
DeleteAnything from Rocket to Russia is OK be me. I never heard that Amy Rigby song before, and I consider myself a fan. Thanks for introducing me to that one.
ReplyDeleteLike Jez, I was betting on Helen Love. But not Joey Ramoney... I thought of Debbie Loves Joey. Maybe save that for the Deborah Harry post?
ReplyDeleteJust got into Amy Rigby very recently and keep wanting to write her a letter saying, "Dear Amy: Where have you been all my life?"
