"I Wanna Be Sedated" is a song by American punk rock band Ramones, originally released on the band's fourth studio album, Road to Ruin (1978), in September 1978 and as the B-side of the UK single "She's the One" released on September 21, 1978.

[2] The song was later released as a single in the Netherlands in 1979,[3] and in the U.S. in 1980 by RSO Records from the Times Square soundtrack album.

So there was nothing to do, I mean, here we are in London finally, and this is what we are doing, watching American movies in the hotel room.The music video for the song, directed by Bill Fishman, was released in September 1988,[7] about ten years after the song was originally released, to promote the compilation album Ramones Mania.

The iconic video features the Ramones sitting at a table (left to right: Johnny, Joey, Marky and Dee Dee), nonchalantly reading and eating generic corn flakes (branded "Corn Flakes") while the background hallway erupts into a venue for nuns, acrobats, ballerinas, superheroes, monsters, cheerleaders, clowns, doctors, fetish nurses, and smoking schoolgirls.

The film is intentionally sped up to show the excitement of the background, while the band's actions are in regular motion.
