Consisting of pop-punk anthems along the lines of '60s garage rock and very early punk, Don't Worry About Me is a sad reminder of how good Ramone really was. With a brilliant ear for melody, a songwriting skill based in simplicity, and the most unpretentious lyrics this side of Chubby Checker, Ramone didn't care about making groundbreaking music when he had mastered the art of pop-punk to a degree most of his disciples will never understand. 'What a Wonderful World' and '1969' are excellent covers that do their source material justice, although Louis Armstrong probably never expected his torch song to be rocked out à la Sid Vicious' 'My Way' But the two best tracks are 'Searching for Something,' his Beatlesque tribute to a girl, and 'Mr. Punchy,' a gorgeous pop song that features a guest appearance from the Damned's Captain Sensible. The anti-cancer anthem 'I Got Knocked Down (But I'll Get Up)' is a heartbreaking stance on his condition that is pure punk rock all the way 'I want my life\/I want my life\/It really sucks\/It really sucks' that only goes to show how even toward the end, he refused to give into sentimentality. Nothing new to see here, and that's a good thing, as Ramone's trademark whine never sounded so sincere as it did in his last studio recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat a Wonderful World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStop Thinking About It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMr. Punchy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaria Bartiromo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpirit in My House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVenting (It's a Different World Today)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLike a Drug I Never Did Before\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSearching for Something\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Got Knocked Down (But I'll Get Up) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1969 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Worry About Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"103","offers":[{"title":"New \/ Default","offer_id":51043417620776,"sku":"88103410364","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"New \/ Alternate","offer_id":51074105245992,"sku":"88103410364-ALT","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/2756773.jpg?v=1763987291","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/ramone-joey-dont-worry-about-me-lp-8103410364","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
