PT-boat on the way to Havana

I used to make a living, man, pickin' the banana

Now I'm a guide for the CIA

Hooray for the U.S.A.



Baby, baby, make me a loco

Baby, baby, make me a mambo



Sent to spy on a Cuban talent show

First stop, Havana go-go

I used to make a living, man, pickin' the banana

Hooray for Havana



Baby, baby, make me a loco

Baby, baby, make me a mambo



PT-boat on the way to Havana

I used to make a living, man, pickin' the banana

Now I'm a guide for the CIA

Hooray for the U.S.A.



Baby, baby, make me a loco

Baby, baby, make me a mambo



Sent to spy on a Cuban talent show

First stop, Havana go-go

I used to make a living, man, pickin' the banana

Hooray for Havana



Baby, baby, make me a loco

Baby, baby, make me a mambo

Havana Affair (The Ramones)

Released by Screeching Weasel, this track exemplifies the band's signature blend of punk energy and psychedelic experimentation. While the title references the iconic Ramones, the song itself operates as a distinct entity within Screeching Weasel's discography, characterized by its driving rhythm and unique vocal delivery. The recording captures the raw, chaotic spirit of the late 1980s and early 1990s indie scene, where the group pushed the boundaries of traditional punk structures. It stands as a notable example of the band's ability to incorporate diverse influences while maintaining their core identity, contributing to their legacy as a key figure in the alternative rock movement.
