Gabba Gabba Luvely Jubbley

The other day I noted that British National Treasure Del Boy Trotter is the most American of British characters, and tonight I'd say that The Ramones, long considered to be as American a band as a band could possibly ever be (their logo is from the US Presidential Seal, Johnny was a right-wing lunatic who praised Bush in their Hall of Fame, they dressed like a 1950s American fantasy memory), are the most British of American bands in that all of them absolutely worshiped the British Invasion to the exclusion of almost all other music and Joey never hid how much he mimicked the British singers throughout their first album, as witnessed in the example below.
