Legend has it, the Ramones were driving around in St. Paul and were trying to find a place to eat. They drove by Cretin-Derham School, and imagined a dance there. Hence, the "Cretin Bop" on the album Rocket to Russia.
From Hey Ho! The Ramones Anthology by David Fricke: Joey Ramone said, "Cretin Hop came from when we were in St. Paul, Minnesota. We went some place to eat and there were just all these cretins all over the place. And there was a Cretin Avenue, where we drove into the city."
