That will, then, make a certain percentage of Lemmy's lyrics less accessible ....

I'm not quite sure where the "Going to Brazil" concept came from -- did MH play "Rock in Rio" back then, sometime?  But it's a great Chuck Berry song, if you see what I mean, and thus eminently suited to Lemmy & Co.  Meanwhile, I think that Lemmy was just mates from way back with Joey and Dee Dee.  Just last year he played in some Ramones tribute gig organized by Marky.

The Ramones are all right. OK, I think I only have their "It's Alive" live album and the compilation "Loud, Fast Ramones: Their Toughest Hits" ... but, ya know: solid.  The stylistic link to MH is not that hard to find.

Cheers,
Carl
