List RulesVote up the best Ramones' requests based on the lyrics and/or titles of their songs

During the course of their career, The Ramones have been very outspoken about what they do and do not want. For example, they do want you around, want to be sedated, and want some glue to sniff. They don't, however, want to be a pinhead, they don't want to go down to the basement, and sometimes they don't want you around. They are a fickle bunch.

The best things The Ramones have requested based on the lyrics and titles of their songs are not always reasonable, though they are often relatable.
