"Cretin Family" sits on ¡Adios Amigos!, which came out in 1995 as the Ramones' fourteenth studio album and, as it turned out, their last. C.J. Ramone takes the lead vocal and plays bass, Johnny Ramone slashes away on guitar and Marky Ramone drums, and the song comes from Dee Dee Ramone and Daniel Rey. Rey, an old friend the whole band liked, produced the album as well, with Bryce Goggin engineering at Baby Monster Studios in New York City.
It was made by a band running on fumes: Joey Ramone was ill with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, he and Johnny were a decade into a feud, and Marky and C.J. were drifting apart. A year after the record and the tour behind it, the Ramones called it quits.
