Joey Ramone (from Hey! Ho! Let's Go! The Ramones Anthology by David Fricke): "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment we all pretty much wrote together in Arturo's (Vega, the band's artistic director) loft. There was another loft where we rehearsed; we used to let Tommy live there. I remember it had fruit flies. Horrible things." (thanks, Katie - Goulburn)
Per Gessle from Roxette made his own version of this song. (thanks, Damian - Koronowo, Poland)
