Carbona Not Glue
"Carbona Not Glue" is a song by the Ramones from their second album, ''Leave Home'' (1977). Story "Carbona Not Glue" is a follow-up to "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue", a song that appeared on their first album. The band sarcastically suggested that the high obtained from sniffing Carbona cleaning solvent was more pleasurable than that of airplane glue.

It's absurd, like saying that you should try something more poisonous." It was featured prominently in the graphic novel '' Ghost World'' by Dan Clowes. Controversy The original release of ''Leave Home'' included "Carbona Not Glue" as the fifth track on the album. However, the song was deleted from the album to avoid a potential lawsuit, as Carbona was a corporate trademark.

Bonzo Goes To Bitburg
"Bonzo Goes to Bitburg" is a song by American punk rock band the Ramones. It was issued as a single in the UK by Beggars Banquet Records in mid-1985. The song is an emotionally charged commentary on the Bitburg controversy from earlier that year, in which U.S. president Ronald Reagan had paid a state visit to a German World War II cemetery where numerous Waffen-SS soldiers were buried. Lyrically, the song was a departure from the usual Ramones topics. While not commercially successful, it was critically well received. The 1985 single did not receive an American release. As an import, however, the record became a hit on U.S. college radio. It was eventually retitled "My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg)", and appeared on the band's album ''Animal Boy'', released in 1986. This second version of the title is the one used on subsequent live and compilation albums. Background and inspiration The song was written in reaction to the visit paid by U.S. president Ronald ...
