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..."

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.

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.

For a long time, this was my favourite. Tom Carson's Stranded essay is great--think he singles out "Oh Oh I Love Her So."

Never a fan of "Cretin Hop." It signals kind of a change for me--doesn't have the power of the first album or the beauty of the second; it's just novelty. I'm the rare person who, "Sheena" aside, likes Rocket to Russia the least of the first four.
"Bonzo," on the other hand, is brilliant. I've posted the School of Rock clip two or three times elsewhere...
