The Cramps “Psychedelic Jungle” 1981. I’m spinning The Cramps’ second LP today, October 21st, on what would have been singer Lux Interior’s 75th birthday (b. Erick Lee Purkhiser 1946, d. 2009). Psychedelic Jungle is a psychobilly punk blues 50-50 mix of covers and originals, including one of the band’s most iconic tracks, the cover of “Goo Goo Muck” (originally by Ronnie Cook and the Gaylads, 1962) which gained notoriety in ‘86 as part of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 soundtrack. Other notable covers include “Rockin’ Bones” originally by rockabilly great Ronnie Dawson (1959), the Bo Diddley-beat “Jungle Hop” by Kip Tyler and the Flips (1958) and “The Crusher” (a MKE-area favorite – we even have an annual Crusherfest) by the Novas (1964). The Cramps originals like “Caveman,” “Don’t Eat Stuff Off the Sidewalk” and “The Natives are Restless” are creepy, weird and perfect for pre-Halloween listening.
