'Do You Wanna Dance?' (1978) was originally a 1958 rockabilly hit by Bobby Freeman. The Ramones turned this pop tune into a punk anthem on their *Rocket to Russia* album, blasting it out at dizzying speed. Joey Ramone’s drawling vocals and the band’s raw guitars give it a fierce new edge. It became one of the Ramones’ better-known covers and even appeared on the soundtrack of the cult film *Repo Man*. Its simple question 'Do you wanna dance?' takes on a wild urgency in their hands, exemplifying the band’s knack for catchy, high-octane rock.
