Beat the Brat, Please
Ramones, originally from Queens, NY, is one of the most renowned bands of all time. When I saw their song, “Beat on the Brat” at the exhibition, I thought it was going to be one of the best tracks I’ll have ever listen to. I was right. With their three chords, a guitar, bass, and drums, Beat on the Brat was another song I knew I had to buy from iTunes later that night. The lyrics were so “authentic”, though unfortunately repetitive. It’s a song you can just sit back in a lounge chair and play a video game to. It’s liveliness is what makes it a Ramones song, as the Ramones are what revolutionized arenas into clubs and lounges. Now, you’ve all seen my dance skills and know they’re nothing special, but I may just be able to bust a new move or two to this song. Check out their video on youtube here.
Hahaha… I knew Abushale would find this sooner or later.
Whoa Sai, keep IDC and BUS separate…
I know my business group definitely felt like “Beating on the Brat” when it came to the business project.
No, they aren’t from Flushing. But I definitely prefer S.H.E. to this music. I also didn’t like Beat the Brat. The lyrics kept on repeating themselves over and over.
This was BEFORE the bum on the 2 train.
Our lives were changed after MoMA. Isn’t that right Sai ;)?
Hahah, my photos on Facebook? Alina, Amrita, and I took lots at the Brooklyn Museum as well.. I’ll try to upload them sometime this week!
Authentic lyrics, that’s really interesting.
And you buy music from iTunes? That is so old school.
Side note: is the Ramones from Flushing, Queens? Because if they are not, I’m not going to listen to their music. I prefer the S.H.E that Sai recommended.
When I went to the Museum of Modern Arts, I was dashing towards the Looking At Music Side 2 exhibit because I saw your pictures of the bright yellow wall. Little did I know about what else was going on at that time because we were running on a tight schedule that day so I’m glad you were able to share this with us.
