The Ramones - "I Wanna Be Sedated"
One of about half a dozen Ramones songs that I would not want to have to live without, this one works great on almost any playlist. The sound here is a little updated: it was a good thing that the band moved beyond "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" and "Beat on the Brat." They couldn't do the same song over and over anymore. It was a good song, but here's a slight variation on it. It still has the trademark Joey Ramone blunt/deadpan take on life in the underground scene*, but in addition to having the guitar sound toned down a little, there's even a key change here. Talk about sophistication.

* Or maybe the sedatives being requested are not for recreational purposes but rather for medical purposes. That would put a truly unique spin on things.
