The Cramps are one of those bands that seem to have influenced everybody else. Commonly listened to by psychobillies, this band are a fun, high energy bunch of general degenerates. That said, however, their fans range from goths and punks through to alternative, metal and rock and roll fans.
The Cramps are Lux Interior Poison Ivy Nick Knox
The vinyl version of this album, not including the bonus tracks was originally released in 1985
This CD contains the following tracks
1. How Far Can Too Far Go ?
Plenty of drum beats & guitar style only The Cramps deliver. If you listen to this & other songs on this cd, you can get the feeling Lux is singing hidden sexual related messages.
3. People Ain`t No Good
I personally believe that this song was written because of some incident Lux & the band might have had with certain people.
4. What`s Inside A Girl ?
This is another laugh a minute with a not very well hidden sexual message. Lux might have pondered this song title while he was a little boy as he was trying to figure out why girls are so special.
5. Can Your Pussy Do The Dog ?
Here is the band`s song that might be saying that they prefer cats over dogs. Then again, this is the Cramps-it might just be referring to something else.
6. Kizmiaz
This could be a song about a tropical place that sounds as if it`s the bands description of Eden or paradise. It isn't. Listen carefully!
7. Corn Fed Dames
This can only be translated as what life would be like if The Cramps were actually farmers.
8. Chicken
By far my all time favorite track on this compact disc. It`s quite funny to hear all the ways you can eat chicken.
To me this cd is full of humorous vocals & is one of The Cramps great albums. I highly recommend buying this cd as it is a great buy if you have never been turned on to this great band before. Lux , from time to time on certain songs croons like the late great Elvis Presley.
The booklet that comes with this cd does come with lyrics to nine out of fifteen songs which isn`t that bad. The pictures could have been more as I found out that a lot of people tend to look for pictures of the band for various reasons. I enjoy listening to this album every now and again. I usually put this album on when I want a good laugh at the lyrics that like I stated above are somewhat of a sexual nature, but then again this is The Cramps & they are known for their very colorful lyrics & outrageous outfits.
So, if you want a great band to listen to & you`re tired of the same old stuff then why not buy this album have a couple of good drinks & play this baby
