Daily Tunes: Chain Saw ( The Ramones )

For today's daily tune I'm playing a segment of The Ramones "Chain Saw" on acoustic guitar.
I added in some background vocals just for fun.

"Chain Saw" is a song by the American punk rock band The Ramones, featured on their self-titled debut album, Ramones, released in April 1976. Written by Joey Ramone (Jeffrey Hyman) and Dee Dee Ramone (Douglas Colvin), the song is inspired by the 1974 horror film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, directed by Tobe Hooper. The lyrics humorously reference the movie, capturing its gruesome vibe with lines like "Texas chain saw massacre / They took my baby away from me." The song's narrative centers on a protagonist whose girlfriend is at a drive-in watching the film, blending the band’s signature dark humor with pop-punk energy.
Musically, "Chain Saw" embodies the Ramones' raw, minimalist style, clocking in at under two minutes with fast-paced guitar riffs, simple chord progressions, and Joey’s distinctive vocal delivery. It starts with the sound of a chainsaw revving, setting the tone for its chaotic energy. The track was recorded at Plaza Sound Studios in New York City, produced by Craig Leon and Tommy Ramone, and is noted for its lo-fi production, typical of the band’s early work.
While not released as a single, "Chain Saw" is a fan favorite and a staple of the Ramones’ early live sets. It reflects their influence from B-movies and pop culture, a recurring theme in their discography. The song’s raw aggression and brevity helped define the punk rock genre, influencing countless bands. Posts found on X highlight its enduring popularity, with fans praising its "killer riff" and "psycho therapy" vibe, often citing it as a quintessential Ramones track.
