The Ramones may be one of the most-covered bands of all time. Their place as one of the seminal punk bands makes their songs the chops that others feel the need to demonstrate that they have as well as inspiring tribute versions. That means that half of the punk bands in existence have recorded, and probably 85% have performed, a Ramones tune, generally badly I'm sad to say. I've managed to find three good versions of The KKK Took My Baby Away, one of my personal favorite of their songs, and one intriguing rockabilly take on it as well. Of course, I've included the original here for your comparison and enjoyment. Happy Friday, all!
