Songs About Food: The Ramones

"... sitting here in Queens, eating refried beans ..."

How can you argue with a band who made a twenty year career out of two-minute songs about pinheads, mental illness, and, of course, food? From Burger King to chicken vindaloo to this week's entry, refried beans, the Ramones were to New York what Descendents were to Southern California, and the world is a better place for having had them in it. Sure, their legend was tarnished when Johnny said, sincerely, "God bless George W. Bush" during his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame acceptance speech, but with songs as great as this, I'm willing to let it slide. Gabba Gabba Hey! [[justin]]
