* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: Dee Dee outright refused to ever go into detail about the song "53rd and 3rd" from the band's first album, which featured a passage in which Dee Dee sings about "taking a razor blade and doing what God forbade". It's heavily implied that Dee Dee actually did attack a man with a razor blade, so it's easy to see why he didn't really want to reveal the full story behind it.

''Ramones'' is the debut studio album by Music/TheRamones, released in 1976. Although not very successful at the time, it's since become one of the most influential records in PunkRock and considered one of the Ramones' finest outings. Fan favourites are "Blitzkrieg Bop", "Beat on the Brat", "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend", "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" and "53rd & 3rd". The album was added to the UsefulNotes/NationalRecordingRegistry in 2012 for its cultural, historical and aesthetical value.

!! Now I Wanna Sniff Some Tropes:
* AlliterativeTitle: "'''B'''litzkrieg '''B'''op", "'''B'''eat on the '''B'''rat".
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer:
--> ''53rd & 3rd''
-->''You're the one they never pick''
-->''53rd & 3rd''
-->''Don't it make you feel sick?''
* AngryMobSong: "Blitzkrieg Bop." "''HEY! HO! LET'S GO! HEY! HO! LET'S GO!''"
* BadassBoast: "53nd & 3rd":
--> ''Then I took out my razor blade''
--> ''Then I did what God forbade''
--> ''Now the cops are after me''
--> ''But I proved I'm no sissy.''
* BatterUp: "Beat on the Brat", where spanking a brat with a baseball bat is considered to be the only option left.
* BigApplesauce: "53rd and 3rd" takes place in New York City.
* ContinuityNod: Just like on this album cover the band would pose again against a wall on the album cover of ''Music/RocketToRussia''. "Havana Affair" would later receive a CallBack on ''Music/EndOfTheCentury'', with the track "This Ain't Havana".
* CoverVersion: "Let's Dance" is a cover of the 1962 Music/ChrisMontez hit song.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: "53rd and 3rd" is a thinly veiled song about Dee Dee Ramone's past as a male prostitute.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The cover was shot in black-and-white because it was cheaper.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: The lyrics, but hey, it's the Ramones!
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Most of their songs have the content description pretty much described in their respective titles.
** "I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement" is about not wanting to go down to the basement.
** "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" is about wanting to sniff glue.
* FaceOnTheCover: The band, posing against a wall.
* FadingIntoTheNextSong: The feedback at the end of "I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You" segues (with help from Dee Dee's signature "ONETWOTHREEFOUR!") right into "Today Your Love, Tomorrow The World."
%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
* GratuitousGerman: "Blitzkrieg Bop".
* GratuitousPanning: The guitar and bass tracks were panned directly to the left and right speakers, respectively, mimicking their positions when they performed live.
* IWantSong: "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" and "Now I Want to Sniff Some Glue".
** {{Inverted|Trope}} with "I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement" and "I Don't Wanna Walk Around with You".
* LackOfEmpathy: "I Don't Care" is basically this trope's theme song.
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: Dee Dee outright refused to ever go into detail about the song "53rd and 3rd" from the band's first album, which featured a passage in which Dee Dee sings about "taking a razor blade and doing what God forbade". It's heavily implied that Dee Dee actually did attack a man with a razor blade, so it's easy to see why he didn't really want to reveal the full story behind it.
* MinisculeRocking: 14 songs in less than half an hour, averaging out to about 2 minutes per song. The longest track just barely clocks over 2:30. It's part of the idea of going against the grandiose status of rock music of the time.
* MurderBallad: "53rd and 3rd".
--> ''Then I took out my razor blade''
--> ''Then I did what God forbade''
--> ''Now the cops are after me''
--> ''But I proved I'm no sissy.''
* NonAppearingTitle: The album title does not appear in the lyrics.
* OneWomanSong: "Judy Is a Punk" and "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend".
* ThePowerOfLove: "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend", "Listen to My Heart", "Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World".
* PunkRock: Pretty much what launched (American) punk in the United States.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot:
** "Beat on the Brat" was written after Joey Ramone saw a mother going after a kid with a baseball bat in the lobby of his apartment.
** "53rd & 3rd" was inspired by Dee Dee's past as a male prostitute, though the murder in the song was fiction.
* SelfTitledAlbum: Obviously.
* ShoutOut:
** "Chain Saw" shouts out to ''Film/TheTexasChainSawMassacre1974''.
** The album cover itself has been copied by countless other punk and rock bands.
** The song "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" inspired the punk fanzine "Sniffin' Glue".
* SingleStanzaSong: "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue".
* StockSoundEffects: A real chainsaw is heard at the start of "Chain Saw".
* SubduedSection: "Blitzkrieg Bop".
* TeenageDeathSongs: "53rd & 3rd" in which a male prostitute murders one of his clients "to prove he's no sissy".
* ThoseWackyNazis:
** "Blitzkrieg Bop" which references the "Blitzkrieg" ("lightning war") tactic in which the Germans conquered Western Europe in 1940.
** "Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World", which uses the lyrics "I'm a Nazi schatze, y'know I fight for the fatherland." The lyrics were originally going to repeatedly state [[RefugeInAudacity "I'm a Nazi, baby"]] until Creator/SireRecords president Seymour Stein [[ExecutiveMeddling told the band to change them]].
* ThreeChordsAndTheTruth: All songs.
* TodayXTomorrowTheWorld: "Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World".
