Lyrics for Blitzkrieg Bop as interpreted by kevin

Blitzkrieg Bop Lyrics
Hey, ho, let's go
Hey, ho, let's go
Hey, ho, let's go
Hey, ho, let's go

They're forming in a straight line
They're going through a tight wind
The kids are losing their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop

They're piling in the back seat
They're generating steam heat
Pulsating to the back beat
The Blitzkrieg Bop

Hey ho, let's go
Shoot them in the back now
What they want, I don't know
They're all revved up and ready to go

Blitzkrieg translates literally as 'lightning war'.

The song's not about anything, it's just a testament to uberfast music.

I've always thought it was about crowds at shows and how they act

Lol I had a funny story about this song. There was a girl at school who was an acquantiance and she was wearing this low cut slutty Ramones shirt. So I told her I loved the Ramones. She was like "OMG ME TOO!" So I asked her what her favorite song was and she responded with "Hey Ho Lets Go" just to mess with her I said "Mines Blitzkreig Bop" she resonded by saying "I hate that song" Obviously she never "listended" to it. L0L. But seriously my favorite song is 'Poison Heart'

Blitz=Lightning, like in football. When you Blitz, you attack the quarterback very quickl, looking for a sack.
Krieg=War
So Blitzkrieg= Lightning War

whats so punk about the ramones? man, are you serious? they dont give a fuck, all their songs contain about a total of 3 different chords, anyone can sing and play their songs (they may not be as geniune). thats seriously what punk is all about, just not caring and doing what you want, regardless of other peoples opinioin. when the ramones first started, no one liked them, but did they care? apparently not, because they just kept doing what they loved. GABBA GABBA HEY!

I personally believe this song is about the World War II...however, many things can have DOUBLE MEANINGS. So maybe it is about the war, about the shooting the Jews in line up, about the marching soldiers, the Hitler Youth being brainwashed and losing their minds, and back beat being gunfire, grenades, etc. But like everyone else arguing, the beat of the song is something to dance to or mosh to. So it can also be a song for just getting together and enjoying good music at a concert or in the house (on a good sound system of course!)

you all are DUMB

only a few people know german and history in this blog...

BLITZ is german for LIGHTNING and KRIEG is german for WAR. In german, the attach the adjectives to their nouns... hence, Blitzkrieg translates as lightning war.

I know a few people have already said that... but just to clarify the how and the why... check it with google translate yourself.

And blitzkrieg was the name of the german's militariy tactic during WWII. they would bomb cities with planes and then quickly attack them with frontal army assaults... It was very fast and very effective.

What does the song means?

well that depends on your level of comprehension and your opinion...

true, the song could either describe fans at Ramones shows or WWII.

In this song, blitzkrieg could be referring to the Ramones' fast-paced style of music.

Indeed, "blitzkrieg" means "lightning warfare," and it was Hitler's method of choice when taking over the surrounding counrties during WWII. I think this song is about that method of completely sudden chaos, and it talks about the people suddenly being rounded up in the SS trucks, ("they're being piled in the backseat") brought to concentration camps, where they were lined up and shot to death, then their bodies would be thrown on a truck an taken to be mas buried or burned.

well...tommy wrote most of it..and he didn't write many songs soo it may have a bit different meaning than a few other ramones songs. i don't really care what the song means. blitzkrieg is a fast war tactic used by the germans, used by tanks and infantry men moving across the field in trenches very quickly and a surprise attack. so it's just a fast large attack no matter where it's coming from...just to clear that up.

It means it's the RAMONES!! If you listen it's' A-O let's go' Hey Ho sounds like Shakespeare, not punk.
The Ramones weren't quite the first punk band (in the denims and leather jacket and filthy long hair style) there was the MC5 for a start. Oddly the Ramones were also influenced by Scotland's Bay City Rollers and stuff like their first single 'Keep On Dancing'

this song is about a hoe, and boys having sex with her in the back seat of a car..they "form a line", they go through a "tight" wind, blitzkrieg bop aka boning like used in she bop by heart. well its clear in the second stanza its sexual.

I think it's super funny how people are all "Ramones aren't even punk, listen to Good Charlotte and Limp Biskit".
Haha! Ramones helped INVENT punk. It's those trashy as bands that aren't punk. God. Wisen up rednecks

"Blitzkrieg Bop" was written by Tommy and Dee Dee; Tommy wrote the basic song, and Dee Dee came up with the title and the "shoot 'em in the back now" line. It's about the excitement of rock. Tommy wanted a song that sounded like the chant in "Saturday Night" by the Bay City Rollers, and the title was probably inspired by "The Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet.

this song is a precursor to the mosh pit and just about how punk music gets its fans riled up.

i have heard that this song is also responsible for spawning nazi punk, which is the dumbest shit ever if it did. and even if it didn't, nazi punk was still retarded. how can you be a punk in a totaltarian system? you can't say "fuck authority" and "heil hitler" and mean both.

It's about a freaking concert. Ok? It's about a freaking concert. It's about teens going to a Ramones Concert alright? And Blitzkreig means "Lightning War" and they're referring to the lights at the concert.
