She is currently based in New York City. The name is a double homage to The Vaselines' album Dum Dum and the Iggy Pop song \"Dum Dum Boys\". Many people believe Dee Dee's stage name was inspired by Dee Dee Ramone but she has stated that this is not true; it was her mother's name, which she took as her middle name after her death."@en . . . . .
