OK. Now I remember. It was “Bonzo Goes to Bitburg.”

Apparently Johnny Ramone wasn’t happy with poking fun at Reagan.

This

The Ramones’ Animal Boy LP, released by both Sire and Beggars Banquet in 1986, included “Bonzo Goes to Bitburg”. According to Robert Christgau, the album version was remixed. The title was altered to “My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg)” to placate Johnny, a staunch conservative, fervent Reagan supporter, and devotee of Nazi paraphernalia. “Go Home Ann” has never been included on an official Ramones original or compilation album.
