The Cramps very rare song

[SweetJaneofGoth]

Like my grandpap says - "this outfit really puts rock music in its place"

They are psychobilly. Alternative psychobilly didn't exist till they showed up. Definitely not rockabilly by any means, so mix rockabilly with that alternative sound and you get psychobilly, which has some punk in it and there u go. They loved rock and roll especially rockabilly and oldies and just sang and played it their way and it wound up as psychobilly. Although early on they were sometimes labeled punk bc noone really knew how to categorize them then. Nevertheless a rare breed.

@20FlightBlues the cramps did call there music rock'n'roll based on the blues! btw. they did not like psychobilly. there are many interviews where they say that.."The thing that makes rockabilly unique is the sexuality of it-it's real groove. Psychobilly today doesn't really have a groove. It's as if (the bands) are tryin' to make their quota in the factory. It doesn't seem sexual to me." Lux (Alternative Press Nov 2004)

@tamerswan Sex Pistols and Ramones aren't hardcore punk! Unless you just mean like straight dedicated punk? Hardcore punk is actually a genre onto itself!:P Bands like Black Flag, Cryptic Slaughter, DRI, The Exploited even!

[choralsam]

@tamerswan no they are Psychobilly...always have been and always will be up there with King Kurt and The Meteors

But then again, I dont know if i can call the CRAMPS punk.

I think they are in a league of their own.

PUNKABILLY

[ArmedAmerican88]

I would like to know which album this song is available on , i must have it . please tell me so i can search on e-bay.

[misscandyxoxo]

@ArmedAmerican88 I don't think it's on an album, I think it was taped off of a radio broadcast of a live show they did. You might be able to find out for sure through the members of the Yahoo group called Staysick-they sometimes trade and share stuff like this.

[lemonsqueezermunich]

@ArmedAmerican88 it's not on any album yet...

[ArmedAmerican88]

@lemonsqueezermunich I wish it was, I have been into the cramps since the early 1980s.

Just like the ramones and the sex pistols.

Kinda funny.

i was was running around with a crewcut and a pair of 501s and a short sleeve T-Shirt and mountain boots while my friends were still listining to led zep and genisis.

I was into punk before punk was cool.

I really want this song on CD.

[lemonsqueezermunich]

@ArmedAmerican88 it should be still up on dimeadozen(dot)org (torrent) as a .flac (for best possible quality). but you also can dl it from here with file2hd(dot)com and then burn it on a cd. stay sick!
