Hey, daddy-o
I don't want to go down to the basement
There's somethin' down there
I don't want to go
Hey, Romeo
There's somethin' down there
I don't want to go down to the basement

Hey, daddy-o
I don't want to go down to the basement
There's somethin' down there
I don't want to go
Hey, Romeo
There's somethin' down there
I don't want to go down to the basement

Hey, daddy-o
I don't want to go down to the basement
There's somethin' down there
I don't want to go
Hey, Romeo
There's somethin' down there
I don't want to go down to the basement

    This is probably THE BEST disco song ever recorded in the 1970s. It obviously inspired the article which led to the film 'Saturday Night Fever', too. For that reason alone The Ramones deserve their place in the 'Rock and Roll Hall of Fame'.

    Such mastery. Such suaveness. Such sheer perfection.
