Double Brain And Body Power

You may have come across the Ramones movie Rock 'N' Roll High School. It is a fun adventure with guitars, cars, unruly pupils, and crazy music. At least it's fun if you're a youth. Some adults find it nerve-racking. In the opening scenes the shattered school director is in a straight jacket being fed mush. His brain was turned upside down from too much student induced stress. That is nothing compared to The Ramones Go To College...

In the film we have a very bad and corrupt college administration. They are constantly taking advantage of the students. The poor pupils are overcharged, disrespected, harassed by drunken redneck campus police, and mistreated in general. It is a lot like my college experience in Georgia.

As the Ramones are in the back of a pizza delivery van helping themselves to free pizza and beer, it drives off. The Gamma Gamma college fraternity is throwing a party and ordered all the food. The music group is mistaken for the real band that is permanently delayed because they had too much to drink. With the fraternity's guitars and drums already set up, the Ramones punch out song after song, and a couple of party crashers as well. The students realize their new friends can straighten out the school. By clever methods, the fraternity and a sorority hide, disguise, and get the Ramones "admitted" to college. It is a roller coaster ride of a comedy.

While exploring the campus after hours the group comes across a lab with gleaming samples from an experimental UFO. They borrow some of the strange metal. By accident, they set it on a tube guitar amp. It suddenly lights up with a nice green glow without even being plugged in! The Ramones try out new songs and sounds while keeping the UFO part concealed in the amp. They go to get their 1967 Pontiac GTO and take the amp along. Suddenly their GTO UFO is the quickest in town but has brief odd time travel episodes.

Ultimately, through hilarious events and a bit of luck, the deserving students win out over the unprincipled administrators. The musical soundtrack and videos are rarities that reveal fun and funny movie events.
