Andrew Curtis I just shared the link with three of my friends via text and this is what I sent them:
“Here is a fantastic song I just paid three dollars for, totally my choice, I could’ve gotten it for free, on bandcamp (so can you if you like it)
It is the perfect choice to follow up “Merry Christmas (I don’t wanna fight tonight)”
Enjoy it yourselves, especially if you are familiar with some or a lot of Ramones tracks.
I particularly liked the reference to the vastly underrated, “Pet Cemetery” Favorite track: Joey Ramone for Christmas (free song <3).

FREE SONG! THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE PAYING, BUT IT'S A FREE SONG FROM ME TO YOU !!! MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS to ALL YOU WONDERFUL PEEPS!! If you are like me you have a special place in your heart for The Ramones. The first time I saw the Ramones on MTV the bells went off. I got to see The Ramones one time in Memphis, Dee Dee had passed though, but CJ was a good fit. When I lived in NYC for school I went to see The Dictators and Joey got up and did a few songs. I remember Joey being on Donahue with his mom, back when they would interview "punk rockers". And I have read several Ramones books, all but one are missing now. To me The Ramones and Joey are the the most iconic band of American rock n roll.

A long time friend and musician Jeff Hulett asked me to do a song for his annual Christmas Compilation so here's what I made.

in 2022 I ditched my old ways and forced myself to embrace the new way of Digital Audio Workstation (Logic), and as a special bonus I was able to add on some really fun Christmasy sounds like sleigh bells and Glockenspiel.

Here's me getting silly but I think the song is fun, Including the chords just in case...hope you enjoy!

lyrics

Intro D

D
I don’t want a lot for Christmas
Tons of stuff just cramps my style
G
But you always aim to please
And you go that extra mile

D
If you’re into magic spells
Incantations work as well
G
You could really make December by
Bringing back the tallest member

A
San-ta, hey ho
G
I gotta Christmas wish for you
A
What we all…need right now is
G
This tall dark haired guy named Joe


D
Bring back Joey, bring back Joey
G A
Santa for a day
D
Bring back Joey, bring back Joey
G A
Put him in your sleigh

G A
Drop him down the chimney tight
D G
He’s so skinny he’ll fit fine
A
We’ll bring a mic and a strait up stand
G
A motorcycle jacket and a punk rock band

Intro repeats

Santa did you get my mail?
I kissed it and I wished it well
Joey makes the whole world swoon
This is not a road to ruin.

Bringing back the dead is creepy
Don’t do like pet cemetery
I believe in you and magic
Just this once it won’t be tragic

I feel…so blue
Save the kids from sniffin glue,
Raise the dead on Christmas day
Drop him off at Rockaway

Bring back Joey, bring back Joey
Santa for a day
Bring back Joey, bring back Joey
Put him in your sleigh

Drop him down the chimney tight
He’s so skinny he’ll fit fine
We’ll bring the mic and the strait up stand)
A motorcycle jacket and a punk rock band
