Legend has it that Johnny Ramone, the politically conservative member of the group, stole away Joey Ramone's girlfriend Linda, and Joey wrote this song about it. The KKK is a white supremacist organization in the United States, and Joey made the comparison for exaggerated dramatic effect. Johnny eventually married Linda, causing considerable strain on his relationship with Joey.
Marilyn Manson covered this on the Ramones tribute album We're A Happy Family. Other groups to record it include MXPX, The Dead Kennedys and The Ordinary Boys.
