"Somebody Put Something in My Drink" is a song by the Ramones from their 1986 album Animal Boy. It was written by Ramones drummer Richie Ramone, who joined the band in 1983, and was supposedly based on an incident where he was given a drink spiked with LSD.

The All Music Guide to Rock claims that Joey Ramone's "aggressive vocal performance" on the track is wasted by a "shamelessly polished synthesizer backing track". This song has been covered by Children of Bodom, The Meteors, Mortifer, Farben Lehre and Acid Drinkers.

A music video for this song was filmed but never completed due to financial reasons.


The song was also featured in the 1987 movie "Like Father, Like Son" with Dudley Moore, Kirk Cameron, and Sean Austin.
