Chords for Joey Ramone and mother Charlotte Lesher on Geraldo - Heavy Metal Moms episode

_ _ _ Take a look.
You are looking at what's been called the scourge of the American pop scene.
Their music has a loud screeching sound often linked with drugs, sex and Satan.
But heavy metal bashers beware.
Heavy metal now dominates record sales and brings in more money than tours by Bruce Springsteen or even Frank Sinatra.
Oh no, has heavy metal finally arrived?
Now meet four women with a deep dark secret.
They may seem like ordinary average American housewives to you, but they have come on this show with a confession to make.
What does Elizabeth Maggiore, for example, think of the nose ring worn by her son, Christy, crash majors of the band Pretty Boy Floyd?
_ Come on, Christy. _ _ _
_ _ _ Norma West's son, Steve, is the drummer for the band Danger Danger.
Come on out, Steve.
Danger Danger, you should know, has been cited by the Parents Music Resource Center for sexually offensive lyrics.
What does Steve's mom think about that?
Daisy Mae Craney is the mother of Mark Craney, who is drummer with Jethro Tull.
_ Now in this crowd, that's a pretty tame band, but still Daisy wanted her loving son Mark to learn how to play piano. _
Jean Handley is the mother of Joe Lestay from the band Bang Tango. _
Jean tells us she's had to take some flack from her neighbors, but that her son's career has made it all worthwhile.
And finally, Marian Butler, the mother of Bingo Butler of the heavy metal band Mama Volume.
Marian says she doesn't like what Bingo does and can never understand his lyrics anyway.
_ _ Charlotte Lesher, the mother of Joey Ramone of the Ramones.
Perhaps America's premier punk rock band.
And if you're wondering how she feels about such Ramones classics as All [Ab] Screwed Up or I Wanna Be Sedated, [Fm] we're about to find out.
Because heavy metal moms, that's the [N] focus of this edition of Hurl It.
Let me go to Mrs.
Lesher for one second there, Joey Ramone's mom.
_ I _ _ [B] have to say, my brother Craig, who's a reporter for [Bb] Inside Edition, lived for many years on St.
Mark's Place in [Gm] the [G] heart of the hippie district across from a club [Abm] called CBGB's.
And he took [C] me [N] to see your son and his group.
And I remember one song, I think it was Beat the Brat.
Beat on the brat.
Give me a fumble.
Beat on the brat, beat on the brat, beat on the brat with a baseball bat. No, yes. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ That's my mom.
_ [E] Really, I really wrote this song, but you know, [G] we don't talk about that.
So we gotta keep the corner.
Beat on the brat [N] with a baseball bat, his big hit, I Wanna Be Sedated.
Yes, one of the best.
That's one of the best songs.
It's one of my favorites.
It really is.
I love the music.
I think it's great.
I've always loved it.
And the bad boy image and the wildness?
It's just a wild family.
Is it really?
[Dm] It runs in the blood.
_ [N] _ _ We're wildly expressive, let's put it that way.
Are you also in show business?
No, no, I'm an artist.
Did you at an early age see him and his brothers going astray?
No, I saw them going into [G] music early and I encouraged it rather than [Cm] discourage it.
[Ab] He also started as a [F] drummer down in the basement.
[D] Look at the sweet.
[Eb] _ _ _
[G] I did it to make her happy.
[Eb] [B] I drive her [Am] insane.
As a matter of fact, [Abm] this should interest you.
When he [N] used to come upstairs from beating on those drums in the basement
and I was getting all his fury out, I used to say to him,
well, you just beat the hell out of me down there, didn't you?
You thought it was a form of family therapy?
Oh, sure.
That was great for him.
Sing us out the commercial.
We've got to take a [Eb] break.
Give us a, if you want to, I Want to Be Sedated, you [G] can do that one.
_ _ _ [N] _
_ _ I want to be sedated.
Take a break.
Heavy Metal Mom.
[Bb] We'll be right back.
[Gm] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _
_ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ [E] _ [B] _ _ [G] _
_ [E] _ [B] _ [Gb] _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [E] _ [Bm] _ _ [Gb] _ [N] The Ramones.
[Abm] Who saw Rock and Roll High School?
That was a pretty good movie.
[A] _
They did the [G] scoring for the film Pet [N] Sematary, right?
The Stephen King scoring.
So what was your inspiration?
Was it really the Beatles?
[G] Mine?
It was everything.
It was all the best things that have gone [N] down since the inception of rock [Em] and roll
and [Ab] life, and living life, and [G] experiencing it, and adventuring.
It's [Abm] everything, you know?
[G] Everything sort of is absorbed and the [Am] output is [E] all unique sound and style and attitude.
[G] Are you married?
Married?
No.
Do [N] you think, will you be, I mean, will you have children?
Yeah, well I've gotten a few offers over the years.
But [E] I kind of like this [G] lifestyle.
Charlotte, will you have grandchildren?
[A] I hope [G] so.
I have another son [Ab] who's in music [G] too.
And he's [B] married.
That might be the first grandchild.
[Gm] What about now, [N] Crash?
_ Tell me, tell us about the groupie scene.
One person in this group of heavy leather here that sort of sticks out.
Now you look like a very traditional lady.
Now what are you doing here?
This is my mother-in-law, my brother-in-law, Joey.
Oh, Charlotte, oh, cute.
So what's your husband like?
My husband's name is Mickey Lee and he's in the music business.
He's got a deal with Epic Records.
What kind of music?
Rock, rock with an [Abm] edge, real good music.
And I'm sure you'll be hearing about him in the future.
Mickey Lee?
Yeah.
Charlotte's other boy.
Yep, Charlotte's other boy.
Are they rivals, Charlotte?
No, no, they love each other and they're very helpful [N] to each other.
Okay, yes.
