Gabba Gabba Hey
Encyclopedia : G : GA : GAB : Gabba Gabba Hey
Gabba Gabba Hey is the title of the first Ramones tribute album released in 1991 by Triple X records. The Ramones made "Gabba gabba hey!" their slogan beginning with the song "Pinhead", which contained the lyrics: "Gabba gabba we accept you, we accept you're one of us". The song ends with: "Gabba gabba hey, gabba gabba hey!....". During their live shows a roadie dressed up as a pinhead would come on stage carrying a huge sign saying "Gabba gabba hey". This is seen in the film Rock 'n' Roll High School featuring the Ramones. The slogan comes from a scene the 1932 motion picture Freaks; in which the characters chant: "Gooble, gobble!".

- In the 1995 computer game Descent, typing the phrase "gabbagabbahey" on the keyboard during gameplay unlocked the cheat mode, after which other cheat codes (infinite weapons, infinite health, et cetera) could be entered. In the game's sequel, Descent II, typing "gabbagabbahey" lowered a player's health and shield to 1%. In both games, typing the cheat code resulted in the computer announcer's voice admonishing the player with: "Cheater!"
