"Animal Boy" is an album by the Ramones. It featured the songs "My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg)", written as a protest of President Ronald Reagan's visit to the Bitburg cemetery in West Germany; "Somebody Put Something in My Drink", written by Richie Ramone, the band's drummer from 1983–1987; and "Love Kills", Dee Dee Ramone's ode to deceased friend Sid Vicious. Dee Dee sings lead vocals on tracks 3 and 9.

Three songs on the album were co-written by Jean Beauvoir, formerly of the Plasmatics.

The music video for the song "Something to Believe In" featured a mock charitable event entitled "Hands Across Your Face", a parody of Hands Across America.
