There were two singles released from Ramones: "Blitzkrieg Bop" and "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend." The first was released in April 1976, originally as a seven inch split single with "Havana Affair" as its B-side.[1] The release, along with the Ramones 2001 Expanded Edition, featured "Blitzkrieg Bop" remixed as a single version,[2][3] although it maintains a time of two minutes and twelve seconds.[4] On January 6, 2004, Rhino Entertainment re-released the "Blitzkrieg Bop" as a CD single, using "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" as a B-side instead.[5] Despite failing to chart, the song has been featured in several commercials, including Budweiser,[6] Diet Pepsi,[7] Nissan, and AT&T.[8] "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" was released in October 1976 as a seven inch single. The single included "California Sun" and "I Don't Wanna Walk Around with You" as B-sides.[1][9] Unlike the previous single, "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" was released in the UK, giving the band a presence in the European marketplace Like the previous single.[10] Even though the song saw some success in Europe, it too failed to chart.[11]
