MP3 Raccoons Hate the Ramones

We have a raccoon at our house. A big, scary, raccoon not afraid of a damn thing in this world. Oh, and it's now residing in our crawlspace, eating our garden, and totally not contributing to our hippie chore wheel. So being the wuss that I am, I have hired a crawlspace specialist (who knew such a career exists?) to rummage deep below our house and help us stop this evil creature from living beneath us. Seems fair.

But what I did not know is that—according to the very entertaining man we hired—raccoons hate the Ramones. Much like Miss Evelyn Togar, raccoons dislike rock and roll, and in his expert opinion nothing will flush this creature out like the Ramones.

And it's not just anything in the Ramones catalog, it's one song in particular...

LISTEN:







The Ramones - "Blitzkrieg Bop"

I swear to God I am not making this up. I'll let you know if it works...

This is undoubtedly one of the strangest things I have ever heard.

Update: He brought the Jesus and Mary Chain's Psychocandy (again, I am not making this up), and thankfully for all, the raccoon is not living under our house.

Does anybody know how I can get a job as a crawlspace specialist?

Raccoons always have struck me more as late-era Jesus & Mary Chain fans.
