How about singing a rock song and really getting pumped up? The one I’d like to introduce is “Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want to Fight Tonight).” It’s a track released by the punk rock band the Ramones.

Ramones – I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend (1980)

In Japan as well, this tear-jerking friendship song by the band the Ramones—hugely popular for T-shirt prints and a staple of vintage fashion—has broad appeal.

Its gently permeating band sound, paired with rock’s rich depth, sinks into the heart, making it a piece I can recommend to just about anyone.

This is the explosive debut single released in 1976 by the legendary New York band, the Ramones.

As a reaction against the increasingly complex rock of the time, their style—pounding out just three power chords, A-D-E, all with relentless downstrokes—is pure adrenaline.

Despite the extreme title “Blitzkrieg,” the lyrics are said to capture the excitement and impulses of the young people packed into live clubs.

The sense of unity born from such radical simplicity is now loved even as a sports stadium chant.

If you pick up a guitar, this is probably the first song whose power chords you’ll want to tackle.

Blitzkrieg Bop

The Ramones are a four-piece punk rock band from New York.

They formed in 1974 and performed more than 2,000 live shows before disbanding in 1996.

Their simple, catchy three-chord sound became the blueprint for punk rock and had a massive influence on subsequent artists.

Signature songs like “Blitzkrieg Bop” and “I Wanna Be Sedated” are marked by fast tempos and deliberately goofy lyrics.

Their band sound, which strips rock down to its essence, is recommended not only for punk fans but for music lovers of all kinds.

The legendary punk rock band the Ramones created this eerie number to coincide with the film adaptation of Stephen King’s novel of the same name.

Set around a cemetery where the dead come back to life, the song voices a desire to escape the cycle of life and death.

Joey Ramone’s distinctive vocals heighten the track’s sense of tension.

Included on the 1989 album Brain Drain, it became a major hit, reaching No.

4 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart.

It’s great for revisiting the film’s storyline as you listen, and it would also work well as background music for a Halloween party.

A recommended track for fans of all things spooky.

A song notable for its simple yet powerful guitar riff.

One of the Ramones’ signature works, it was released in 1979 as part of a movie soundtrack.

Featuring defiant lyrics and a fast tempo, it expresses youth rebellion against school authority.

It was later included on the album “End of the Century” and charted in multiple countries.

Recommended for April, when the new school term begins, for those who want to take on something new with a fresh mindset.

Its energetic performance is sure to give you a push.
