The lyrics &#8220;Hey ho, let&#8217;s go&#8221; were inspired by the line &#8220;High, low, tipsy toe&#8221; from the 1963 song &#8220;Walking the Dog&#8221; by\u00a0Rufus Thomas,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Blitzkrieg Bop\" width=\"580\" height=\"435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NQDPx_k66w4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Drum tabs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"325\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/11187140\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/980\/2025\/12\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-837\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/11187140\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/980\/2025\/12\/image-1.png 325w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/11187140\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/980\/2025\/12\/image-1-212x300.png 212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The song normally is 177bpm however while playing it live they often sped it up reaching or going over 200 bpm showing there signature fast punk energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drums themself are quite simple but fast , the crash pattern to me is what makes the song though , as well as the tomb section for the chanting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"840\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/11187140\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/980\/2025\/12\/image-2-1024x840.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/11187140\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/980\/2025\/12\/image-2-1024x840.png 1024w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/11187140\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/980\/2025\/12\/image-2-300x246.png 300w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/11187140\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/980\/2025\/12\/image-2-768x630.png 768w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/11187140\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/980\/2025\/12\/image-2-1536x1260.png 1536w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/11187140\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/980\/2025\/12\/image-2-1200x984.png 1200w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/11187140\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/980\/2025\/12\/image-2.png 1680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The tuning is in standard ( E A D G B E) The chords and simple just being A5, D5, and E5 hough a rare\u00a0B5 appears in the bridge it is played very fast driving rhythm with downstrokes only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blitzkrieg Bop by The Ramones uses the German war term (blitzkrieg) and &#8220;bop&#8221; to describe\u00a0the chaotic, overwhelming energy of teenagers at a rock concert, portraying the music event as a fast, aggressive, but fun attack on the senses, not a literal war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) Christmas Baby Please Come Home is a pop song originally sung by\u00a0Darlene Love\u00a0and included on the 1963 compilation album\u00a0A Christmas Gift for You from Philles Records(later renamed\u00a0A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector).
