Loudmouth (Covered by The Hawkbirds)

The Hawkbirds covering the Ramones track, “Loudmouth”

The song, written by Dee Dee Ramone and Johnny Ramone, was released in 1976 on their debut album, Ramones. Loudmouth is a classic burst of punk energy. The song is short, fast, and brimming with attitude. In typical Ramones fashion, Loudmouth is catchy, with straightforward guitar riffs and high-energy drumming that set the tone for their pioneering style. The lyrics are rebellious, with a sarcastic edge, venting frustration about a person who talks too much but has little to say. It’s a quintessential Ramones anthem that captures the essence of punk rock—quick, bold, and unapologetic. The song’s raw simplicity is part of its charm, making it one of their most audacious tracks.

Lyrics…

🎶 Well you're loudmouth baby
You better shut it up
I'm gonna beat you up
Well you're a loudmouth babe

Well you're loudmouth baby
You better shut it up
I'm gonna beat you up
Well you're a loudmouth babe

Well you're loudmouth baby
You better shut it up
I'm gonna beat you up
Well you're a loudmouth babe

Well you're a loudmouth baby
Loudmouth baby
Well You're a loudmouth baby
Loudmouth baby
Well You're a loudmouth baby
Loudmouth baby 🎶

🧸Sweet, innocent Brown Bear loves when we play the song Loudmouth because it gives him strength to practice his ⚡️“ROAR!”⚡️ Despite his gentle nature, he’s drawn to the roaring punk sound, finding freedom in the music’s fast pace and courageous attitude. The catchy riff and relentless rhythm give him a sense of empowerment, letting him embrace the wild side of life for a few minutes, even if no one can tell. It’s a fun escape while on the shelf, and a reminder to us all… NEVER MESS WITH BROWN BEAR! 🧸👊🏼

This song was recorded on 2/17/25 in our basement studio, on separate tracks using Behringer B 906 Dynamic Microphones (soon to be upgraded) to capture the drums, and for the first time, in stereo…
1. Vocals (Shure & Electrovoice)
2. Lead guitar (Gibson Les Paul Studio)
3. Bass guitar (Ibanez Mikkro)
4. Bass drum (Ludwig Neusonic 22” Bass Drum)
5. Toms/snare (Ludwig 13" Tom, 16" Floor Tom, and 14” Snare)
6. Cymbals (Zildjian A Custom Cymbals)
We captured the audio on a Zoom H6 audio interface, and mixed it with GarageBand. Sennheiser HD-660S2 headphones, and an AudioEngine DAC3 amplifier, help to balance the sound in order to highlight each instrument during the mixing process. We struggle to get optimum sound as our studio is very small, and the drums are very loud. Thank you so much for all of your feedback which continues to help us produce better sound. Keep your comments coming!
