Description

The Hawkbirds covering the Ramones track, “Cretin Hop”

The song, written and composed with contributions from all members of the Ramones, was released in 1977 on their album, Rocket To Russia. Cretin Hop is a short, punchy song with catchy riffs and simple lyrics. The track is a prime example of their ability to craft raw, fun music that blends rebellion with a sense of humor. The song, which opens with “There's no stoppin' the cretins from hoppin’”, was written to pay homage to their fans, who they referred to as Cretins, for their carefree impulses to pogo dance at shows. It’s a simple track that showcases their energy and attitude, with a perfect balance of fun and edge.

Lyrics…

🎶 There's no stoppin' the cretins from hoppin'
You gotta keep it beatin' for all the hoppin' cretins
Cretin, cretin

I'm gonna go for a whirl with my cretin girl
My feet won't stop doin' the Cretin Hop
Cretin, cretin

One-two-three-four, cretins want to hop some more
Four-five-six-seven, all good cretins go to heaven

There's no stoppin' the cretins from hoppin'
You gotta keep it beatin' for all the hoppin' cretins
Cretin, cretin

I'm gonna go for a whirl with my cretin girl
My feet won't stop doin' the Cretin Hop
Cretin, cretin

One-two-three-four, cretins want to hop some more
Four-five-six-seven, all good cretins go to heaven 🎶

🧸 Quiet little Brown Bear loves the Ramones’ "Cretin Hop" because, despite being reserved, the song taps into a raw energy and rebellious spirit that resonates deep within him. The fast-paced, straightforward punk sound provides a perfect outlet for his hidden wild side, offering a sense of freedom and joy. As soon as no one is looking, he gets his crew together and pogo dances all around the house! Even the most calm and seemingly undemonstrative creatures can let loose and embrace moments of carefree defiance, whether they’re hopping around to the beat or just sitting on the shelf enjoying the infectious energy of the Cretin Hop with his friends Showblee the pig, Rooblix the honey badger, Beau Vine the cow, and Baby Fox! 🧸

This song was recorded on 2/24/25 in our basement studio, on separate tracks using a new stereo pair of sE Electronics sE8 Condenser Microphones, along with a new Audix D6 Cardioid Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone…
1. Vocals (Audix OM5 Hypercardioid Dynamic Microphones)
2. Lead guitar (Gibson Les Paul Studio)
3. Bass guitar (Ibanez miKro)
4. Bass drum (Ludwig Neusonic 22” Bass Drum)
5. Toms/snare (Ludwig 13" Tom, 16" Floor Tom, and 14” Snare)

We captured the audio on a Zoom H6 audio interface, and mixed it with GarageBand. Sennheiser HD-660S2 headphones, and an AudioEngine DAC3 amplifier, help to balance the sound in order to highlight each instrument during the mixing process. We struggle to get optimum sound as our studio is very small, and the drums are very loud. Thank you so much for all of your feedback which continues to help us produce better sound. Keep your comments coming!
