The good folks over at Socky and Jamie hooked me up with this most excellent Christmas present: Dee Dee Ramone from Funko’s Pop Rocks line. This likeness of the long time Ramones bass player is super cool, and super cute.
The detailing on this vinyl toy is great, even down to Dee Dee’s trademark sailor shirt, shoulder chain and white bass guitar.
Not only is Dee Dee Ramone a punk rock pioneer, but he also recorded one of the best rap songs of all time under the alias Dee Dee King. If you don’t wind up having “Funky Man’ stuck in your head, then there’s something wrong with you.
How cool is Dee Dee? He even looks awesome riding on a giant rubber duckie! Most other rock stars would be self conscious, but not our Dee Dee. Check out the official website to learn more about the life and legacy of Dee Dee Ramone.
Ridiculously Awesome
