Playlist - Cover Songs

In addition to penning some of the most memorable songs of all time the Ramones were great at putting their unique stamp on songs by other artists. Not counting their album of covers the band put their unique spin on over a dozen songs during their recording career. I've gone through that list of covers and created a playlist that captures the best of those songs. I've avoided including songs written or co-written by a member of the band but first recorded by another artist.

1. "I Don't Want to Grow Up"  From 1995's ¡Adios Amigos! - Originally recorded by Tom Waits.
2. "California Sun" From 1977's Leave Home - Originally recorded by Joe Jones. The Ramones version uses the arrangement made famous by The Rivieras.
