In this sweet video, the last Ramone standing, Tommy Erdelyi, performs “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend” last year at NYC’s Cutting Room. Tommy performs the song as a kind of mournful, folksy country tune. Technically, it’s not a cover. He wrote it. But he’s doing it in the style of his folk/buegrass duo, Uncle Monk. He’s covering himself.

Ironically, this is the kind of music Hilly Kristal was initially looking to book at CBGB (“country, bluegrass and blues” is what the initials stand for) and instead he got four punk rockers from Queens with Tommy on drums.
