141. Danny Says by The Ramones 1980


When Little Murders were about to record She lets Me Know we had a few planning meetings around at Stuart Beatty's house in St. Kilda to reference the song. Stuart had just joined the band after being the producer of our first 2 singles. He played a number of tracks. This was one of them. I already had the record but had never listened as intently as we did that night. "Wait for the guitars to come in!" Stuart had a great sound system and lots of records. Every record had its own plastic bag with the opening facing inwards. He really looked after his records. "This is what we're aiming for" The making of She lets me Know was going to end up being a long long process that would test the patience of everyone involved.
The house in St. Kilda was referred to on the first single "Things Will Be different" as the Cathouse because Stuart and his partner Rosslyn had so many cats. Big beautiful cats that roamed the house as we worked on our recording which took place on the first record in the bathroom ( to get the correct echo!)
She lets me Know would be recorded at Richmond recorders.
Danny says was a great song that was a constant on my mixtapes. Like a lot of my favourite songs, I associate it with summer as I do with most Ramones songs. In the end, we only covered one Ramones song. Here Today Gone tomorrow
