This is my favorite O&A Ramone since the subjects have a great sense of humor about themselves. "RAMONE...Bring me a rapist with three dicks!" "RAMONE...Hanson was Robert Reed's favorite band!" "RAMONE...These [boys?] make the Culture Club sound like Black Sabbath!"
I’ve seen so many interviews with these guys from their adulthood and I have gathered 2 things about them: 1) these guys made so fucking much money, that people still poking fun of them means nothing but MORE money to them 2) the cutesy “boys next door” gimmick for them did nothing but pretty much guarantee them hole on tap. These guys were slaying women from Maine to Spain. Fuck all the cutest songs they sang. If ANY group of guys could be presented the amount and money and ass these guys got around the world, we’d all be playing happy birthday on a goddamn accordion today.
@YeOldEPatT yup they really rolled with the punches and laughed along with the jokes we may not like them? but they did play their own instruments and that was there thing .. awesome dudes
One of the lowest times in my life was watching a Hanson video. I had been up for about three days tweeking my ass off when I first got into crank. I decide shit I have been up forever I am starting to see shit I am going to work one out to that cute girl in the band and pass out.
you this fuckin "band" pained my youth but i gotta agree with hughezy, these guys sound like they know where they stand, and their happy with it......can't take that away from them.
so... ramoning is jimmy doing prank calls to guests? why is it called ramoning? I don't get that part ... btw isn't that howards bit? to have his cronies do prank calls to guests and bombard them with crazy questions and/or harassing statements
daleva187goligo Because, Steve C. created an unseen and unheard character by the name of Ramone. He was intended to be a sort of house-boy for a fictional Howard Hughes-esque character played by Steve C. in which he would do and say various insulting and degrading things to said house-boy. Alas, Mr. Norton appropriated the character and it (d)evolved into him bombarding certain guests with insults and inside jokes. I don't know about the Howard thing because I never listened to him, but I will say he doesn't hold the monopoly on this type of radio or talking into a microphone. Or breathing. Or being named Howard.
