Dee Dee King

I often lay awake at night wondering whether or not such white rappers as Marky Mark or Eminem would ever have existed Without Dee Dee Ramone's 1989 jaunt into the rap industry, Standing in the Spotlight.

Some say the album is probably the worst recording of all time. I say he was probably so whacked out of his mind that he had no idea what he'd done. There's also the possibility that with lyrics like this the whole things was tongue in cheek:

I like rap
And hip hop
I like hardcore
And punk rock
I like hot-dogs, franks and beans
I grew up in forrest hills queens
I like to win
Don't like to fail
So once again
The bill's in the mail


The World will never know.

If you can stomach it, here you go:
