The lyrics to Terrorgruppe's song "Dee Dee" pay tribute to the late Ramones bassist and songwriter, Dee Dee Ramone. The first verse refers to Dee Dee's legacy of music, with the repetition of "Dee Dee" emphasizing his impact on punk rock. The second verse delves into Dee Dee's life, describing him as a "delinquent biography" and touching on his drug addiction and untimely death.
The chorus of the song emphasizes Dee Dee's simple, yet powerful approach to songwriting. The use of only one, two, or maybe three chords, played at a breakneck speed, helped to create the signature sound of the Ramones and was a defining aspect of the punk rock movement. The bridge of the song takes a shot at the more complex and bloated rock music of the time, calling for the destruction of "prog-rock dinosaurs" and "effect boards."
