"Poison Heart" by The Ramones

The Ramones did not have a lot of chart success, but they were such an influential force in punk and rock (and on horror author Stephen King) that they were inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame in 2002. Stephen King enlisted the band to do a title song for his 1989 movie Pet Sematary.

The appearances they did make on the Top 100 all came in the late 70s with "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" (#81), "Rockaway Beach" (#66), and "Do You Wanna Dance" (#86). Surprised that you don't see their classics "I Wanna Be Sedated", "Rock 'N' Roll High School," and "Blitzkrieg Bop"? Yeah, me too.

In 1992, the band released another critique on this crazy world called "Mondo Bizarro," exemplified by the single, "Poison Heart."
