"I Wanna Be Sedated" is one of the best known singles by the punk rock group the Ramones. It was released in 1978 and appeared on their fourth album, Road to Ruin.

"I Wanna Be Sedated" was written by Joey Ramone when he had to go to the hospital to be treated for burns after accidentally spilling boiling water on himself. Joey was in the habit of inhaling steam from a kettle before performing, to clear his sinuses.
