Nice roll-call, though.

I think I got most of the references at the time, but not sure if I'd bought Nuggets yet--Moulty may have puzzled me.

good timing― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius)
I was going to post that too!
The pick-up band I had at school played "Blitzkrieg Bop" one year, "Now I Wanna Be a Good Boy" the next. I tried to learn "Loudmouth" and didn't quite get it. Maybe there's a tricky change in there.
― clemenza, Thursday, 28 August 2014 16:27 (ten years ago) link
doesn't "Loudmouth" have the most impressive cold stop?
― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 28 August 2014 16:30 (ten years ago) link
Just gave it a quick listen--I think it was the last 30 seconds that tripped me up trying to learn it. No cold stop; fade-out, like Gentle Giant.

― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 28 August 2014 16:36 (ten years ago) link
For most of my life, I thought the Manson line in "Glad to See You Go" was "Kick the door/Light the match/You gotta go go go go..."
― how's life, Thursday, 28 August 2014 16:42 (ten years ago) link
I'm guessing most of the songs on the first four LPs end cold? That's the way I intuitively think of them, but then I wouldn't have guessed a fade-out on "Loudmouth," either, so I don't know.

"Robot Frog" is more of a Robyn Hitchcock title tho

I didn't even hear of it til years after I heard the song. It was almost disappointing to learn there was some context for Gabba Gabba beyond just Ramones weirdness.
