From their 1993 covers album Acid Eaters...
...please enjoy -- actually, I don't think that's possible -- the otherwise estimable Ramones and their take on the Jefferson Airplane classic "Somebody to Love."
Seriously -- this is fucking appallingly bad on every level. I bring it up only because I was thinking not so fondly of right-wing asshat Johnny Ramone the other day, and I was wondering why Joey ever put up with his shit.
Okay, apart from the touring money.

I don't see how this Ramones treatment is any better or worse than just about any other Ramones song. They were a one-trick band. A really good trick. I usually love the Ramones for about 2:30 and then want to move on to something else. Which seems to work well for both parties...
Steve, you're crazy, the entire Acid Eaters album is great fun.
I find it unlistenable.
I have always considered The Ramones the punk band for people who didn't punk. Hell they didn't really even like rock & roll that much but wanted to seem hip.
Don't get me started about people who's first favorite album was the American version of Rubber Soul.
