MORE INFO ON THE ARTIST & RELEASE-

The Ramones were an American punk rock band that formed in the New York City neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens, in 1974. They are often cited as the first band to define the punk-rock sound. Despite achieving only limited commercial success, the band was a major influence on the 1970s punk movement in both the United States and United Kingdom.

All of the band members adopted pseudonyms ending with the surname "Ramone", although none of them were related. They performed 2,263 concerts, touring virtually nonstop for 22 years. In 1996, after a tour with the Lollapalooza music festival, the band played a farewell concert and disbanded. By 2014, all four of the band's original members, lead singer Joey Ramone (1951–2001), bass guitarist Dee Dee Ramone (1951–2002), lead guitarist Johnny Ramone (1948–2004) and drummer Tommy Ramone (1949–2014), had died.

Recognition of the band's importance built over the years, and they are now mentioned in many assessments of all-time great rock music, such as number 26 in the Rolling Stone magazine list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" and number 17 in VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock". In 2002, the Ramones were ranked the second-greatest band of all time by Spin magazine, trailing only the Beatles. On March 18, 2002, the original four members and Tommy's replacement on drums, Marky Ramone, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2011, the group was awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

"Something to Believe In" is a song that was originally released as a single called the "Sire Single Version", and then re-recorded as a song on the Ramones album Animal Boy released in May 1986. There are also live video versions of the song. It was written by Dee Dee Ramone and Jean Beauvoir. The "Sire Single Version" was re-released as track 14 of the second disk of the Ramones Anthology.[1] The song was re-released in 2005 by Rhino/Warner Bros, on the album Weird Tales of the Ramones.

The song is more gentle sounding than most Ramones songs, particularly the cover by The Pretenders, which was produced by Johnny Ramone and is sung at an extremely slow tempo for a Ramones song.

Ramones Aid

"Something to Believe In" was also the background track for a music video called "Ramones Aid" which was frequently played on MTV. In the video, the Ramones are depicted in a group of people who give money to charity. This video parodies Hands Across America, by featuring T-shirts with the logo "Hands Across Your Face" and showing various hands holding each other in various settings Mark Holton (including a skeleton hand and a hook). A large number of people appear in Ramones Aid, including Animotion, Afrika Bambaataa, Circle Jerks, John Doe and Exene Cervenka of X, The B-52's, Berlin, Fishbone, Ron Mael and Russell Mael of Sparks, Ted Nugent, Spinal Tap, Weird Al Yankovic, Penn and Teller, and The Untouchables Toni Basil Rodney Bingemheimer The Bongos Tom Peterson Fisher & Preachman Holly Beth Vincent Richie Stotts The Cruzados False Prophets The Pandoras Rudy Sarzo The Rattlers Carla Olsen David Pahoa Gary U.S. Bonds Mary Woronov Dangerzone Elliot Hoffman. The video included lookalikes from the 1985 USA for Africa video titled "We Are the World" (Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, and Cyndi Lauper). When juxtaposed with images in parody of other aid videos, the songs hook line, "I just want something to believe in", is frequently interpreted as making fun of true believers whose identity is derived from embracing a cause.

Awards

"Something to Believe In" was nominated for the New York City Music Award, for best video clip, and was only surpassed by Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer". The album the song was on took New York City Music Awards best album, the other single track on the album took best single.

Pretenders version

The final version which was one of the last production accomplishments of Johnny Ramone, and was done shortly before his death, was a cover version by The Pretenders. It was included on the album We're a Happy Family: A Tribute to Ramones.
