We're a Happy Family - A Tribute to Ramones is a tribute album by various artists as a tribute to the Ramones. It started when Johnny Ramone was confronted with the idea of a tribute album and was asked if he wanted to participate, to which he agreed, as long as he would have full control over the project. He was able to get Rob Zombie as a co-producer, and call upon different bands to participate. Rob Zombie also did the cover artwork, and Stephen King, a Ramones fan, wrote the liner notes.
One of the last things Johnny Ramone did was oversee the album. He told all the chosen bands to do a version totally unlike the Ramones originals. Johnny liked the Red Hot Chili Peppers' cover of "Havana Affair" so much that he chose to open the album with it.

Danko Jones did a cover of this as well for a Canadian tribute album...he's been quoted as saying that he hadn't heard it at the time, but he's sure Tom's was better.
Danko is a fucking badass!

@k4f3rdrum Also about the broken english. It's hard to know who's a native speaker and who speaks english as a 2nd/3rd languages. Lots of dumbasses in the arpaweb.

@k4f3rdrum I'm sorry you feel that way. I think the Ramones would disagree with you.
