"Carbona Not Glue" is a song by the Ramones from their second album, Leave Home (1977).

Story

"Carbona Not Glue" is a follow-up to "

Dan Clowes
.

Controversy

The original release of Leave Home included "Carbona Not Glue" as the fifth track on the album. However, the song was deleted from the album to avoid a potential lawsuit, as Carbona was a corporate trademark.[1] The album was re-released with the outtake "Babysitter", which was also released as the B-side of "Do You Wanna Dance?", in its place. On the British version, "Babysitter" is not listed on the back cover or inner sleeve, but it is listed on the label. Most collectors believe that the "Babysitter" version is rarer than the "Carbona" version.

When

Warner Bros. Records (who had bought the label), yet another version of the album was released, with "Babysitter" being replaced by "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker
", then a non-LP single already planned to be on the next Ramones album in a different mix.

"Carbona Not Glue" was restored to its original position in the running order for the 2001 expanded edition of Leave Home,[2] and the deluxe 40th anniversary edition included additional mixes of the track.[3]
