R.A.M.O.N.E.S.

"R.A.M.O.N.E.S." is a song first recorded by the British rockers Motörhead on their 1991 album 1916 as a tribute to their friends and contemporaries, the Ramones. The bands were long standing admirers of each others' work. Critic Andy Boot, reviewing the album in Kerrang (27 February 1991) described the song as "icing on a very fine, if somewhat heavy, cake."

"It was the ultimate honour- like John Lennon writing a song for you".
-Joey Ramone

The track was first aired before Phil Taylor and Würzel left the band and has continued as a live staple to this day.

It also appears as a bonus track on the album "Fang Bang" by Wednesday 13.

The Ramones themselves also performed it on and off until their final show in August 1996.

The Huntingtons also covered this song on their File Under Ramones album.
