Wart Hog Barbarians

Allow me one more killer clip of the Ramones performing live on the British TV show Old Grey Whistle Test. Here they are cranking out Dee Dee & Johnny's hardcore-inspired choon Wart Hog in 1985. This was the song where the Reagan twentysomethings bodied Reagan Youth with their own style. Highlights include Joey awkwardly throwin' shapes with no vocals to contribute, and Richie stealin' the show by shrieking the chorus like he's accidentally stepped on a Hedgehog.

Dee Dee did lead vox on a few tracks on all the 80s Ramones albums.

He also did a Rap album which featured this single.
