Animal Boy is the ninth studio album by the American punk band the Ramones. It featured the songs "My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg)", written as a protest at 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 to 1987; and "Love Kills", Dee Dee Ramone's ode to deceased friend Sid Vicious.
Three songs on the album were co-written by Jean Beauvoir, formerly of the Plasmatics. The rear cover art contains a photograph of Krao Farini, a.k.a. The Missing Link, as a child.
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.
