"Poison Heart" is a song by the punk rock band Ramones. Written by their former bassist Dee Dee Ramone and given in exchange for bail money, it was included on the 1992 album Mondo Bizarro and also released as a single. It has a slower tempo than most Ramones songs.
Stiv Bators, former vocalist for The Dead Boys and Dee Dee Ramone's friend, recorded a version of the song which was released posthumously on the 1996 album Last Race.
Finnish rock band The 4 Faces recorded a cover of the song as a B-side to their single ”Best Of Both Worlds” in 2002. The single features Hanoi Rocks members Andy McCoy (on guitar) and Michael Monroe (on backing vocals and as co-producer).[1]
Finnish rock band HIM recorded and released a cover of the song as a B-side to their hit single "Wings of a Butterfly" in 2005.
P. Paul Fenech, lead singer of the psychobilly band the Meteors, covered the song on his solo album The "F" Word in 2006.
Blondie performed acoustic versions of "Poison Heart" and "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" at their October 14, 2006, show at CBGB's. It was the penultimate show at the club before its closing. The last show was performed the next day by Patti Smith.
