Not aware of that song, but there are actual pinheads in the movie "Freaks".. I can only imagine the song was based on the movie, at least in part.

RAMONES LYRICS

"Pinhead"

Gabba gabba we accept you we accept you one of us
Gabba gabba we accept you we accept you one of us

I don't wanna be a pinhead no more I just met a nurse that I could go for
I don't wanna be a pinhead no more I just met a nurse that I could go for

I don't wanna be a pinhead no more I just met a nurse that I could go for
I don't wanna be a pinhead no more I just met a nurse that I could go for

D-U-M-B
Everyone's accusing me

I don't wanna be a pinhead no more I just met a nurse that I could go for
I don't wanna be a pinhead no more I just met a nurse that I could go for



Actually according to the FAQ at www.ramonesonline.com, "Gabba Gabba Hey!" was borrowed from a scene the 1932 motion picture 'Freaks', in which the characters chant "gooble, gobble".

I never knew that.

Dang, Violin beat me to it!

Wolfman's Brother, "Freaks" came out in the 1930's (I think).. it was banned in Britain until semi-recently. It's a creepy story about a circus little person (trying to be PC here) who falls in love with someone who isn't a "freak". The normal women betrays him, and all the freaks gang up on her and kill her. GREAT movie.

Where else?
Where else could a guy write a line from a song he's never heard that was in a movie he never saw and two other people cite the song and post the lyrics? I tell you this board is the absolute greatest. It should be on TV!

I know it but can't remember the exact song.

I can clearly hear Jello Biafra saying that in my mind.

POP QUIZ, anyone know where he got that name?
humanpackmule

i don't know where he got the name but my quote was from the circle jerks album entitled "wonderful". 1st band that got me into punk music back in 85 give or take a year

I really want to hear that song now. A tune that pays tribute to "Freaks" has to be good, and though not a big fan, I like the Ramones. I'll download the song when I get home. :-P

Ok, your right. I think I still have that floating around somewhere.

He picked two words at random and liked how they sounded together.

The popular story is that in the 60's the American government sent Jello to help fee the starving people of the African nation of Biafra. Total crap but folks believed it.
