The Cramps - Zombie Dance and Human Fly Reaction

[@davidellis5141]

Human Fly 🪰is an awesome track by The Cramps " Punkabilly" Produced by Alex Chilton of Big Star fame.

[@colrhodes377]

I get the cramps. Usually before i get the shits

[@mightyV444]

Lovely 😊 The only things I was missing were seeing Lux Interior nearly losing his pants and eating his microphone 😁

[@stuartauld2149]

'Goo Goo Muck' , 'What's inside a girl' , 'Good Taste '......Gotta love The Cramps❤

[@simonlitten]

I always thought that The Cramps were at the forefront of the US punk movement. Never knew the names of their songs. Their songs remind me of The Dead Kennedys even though there is that rockabilly sound. Loved your reactions.

[@DogInSpace]

I got the Human Fly single at Missing LInk records in Melbourne back in 79, 80.. Good ol' days when you had to just take a chance on something or talk to the expert behind the counter.. Also saw them at Festival Hall around 85

[@zibam982]

I went to their concert and the whole build was shaking with this song.

[@th.burggraf7814]

Personally, I like "Save It" the best, but "Human Fly" is also one of my favorite Cramps songs. Liked this reaction ! 👍🏻

[@heathcornbeef]

R.I.P Lux interior 😭 wherever he is now he's sure to be F ing shit up 🤘👍👏👏👏

[@johnsrensen3366]

One of my alltime favorite Band i follow them from 84

[@heathcornbeef]

About a year later 17 years old i got hit by a drunk driver who ran a red light and shortened my Yamaha RD 250 by about two feet and i spent the next three months in an orthopaedic ward and above my bed i had a big black and green THE CRAMPS OFF THE BONE poster

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

Loved your reaction, C and C. The Cramps have other tracks which would fit this season, "I Was a Teenage Werewolf", and "Goo Goo Muck" to name two, well worth reacting to.

[@VEETEEARR]

John Cooper Clarke also has a song called "I Was a Teenage Werewolf".

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

@@VEETEEARR Right, I didn't know that, thanks for the information.

[@VEETEEARR]

I love bands that don't take themselves too seriously and The Cramps certainly fit that description. If you are looking for song requests for the weeks up to Halloween then you could re-visit The Damned and their tracks Grimly Fiendish and Video Nasty.

[@heathcornbeef]

Somewhere amongst all my crap I've collected over the years I've got Nick Knox's drum sticks

[@SPKdesign1]

Did you nick Nick Knox's sticks?

[@Sandy-dd4le]

I love The Cramps so much, saw them in the 80's, incredible live band, i nearly died in the mosh pit, it was awesome. "A dark version of the Beach Boys"....i think Lux would have appreciated that!

[@TZ61]

No Halloween is complete without The Cramps. In the spirit of the season, might I also suggest "Carry Home" by The Gun Club, and a later affiliated band Kid Congo & the Pink Monkey Birds doing "La Arana" (pronounced a-RON-ya) in that psycobilly vein. Great upload.

[@Sandy-dd4le]

I'd settle for any Gun Club Jack White once said that Sex Beat is the music that should be taught in schools! And i have to agree.

[@SPKdesign1]

@@Sandy-dd4le Kid Congo is playing Glasgow at the end of this month.

[@Sandy-dd4le]

@@SPKdesign1 the same day i take the car for it's mot, and insure it, thats annoying! Though the venue is literally 2 minutes from the station, and the tickets are pretty cheap, so maybe!

[@SPKdesign1]

@@Sandy-dd4le I'm hoping to get through but only if I can get a lift. If I make it, I'll see if I can get some Audio/Video.

[@Marauderdd]

The Cramps started the term psychobilly as far as i know

[@heathcornbeef]

Yeah now you've done it THE CRAMPS i saw these guys in 1986 at the Galaxy now The Powerstation it's considered one of their best live recordings and Lux interior live on stage makes LORD IGGY POP seem like an altar boy

[@Sandy-dd4le]

Lux is the only man who could.

[@heathcornbeef]

💯 i didn't make that statement lightly but if Lord Iggy doesn't care about self-preservation Then Lux interior did everything he could to destroy himself on stage for our entertainment drinking red wine from the bottle smashing it on stage and bleeding for the rest of the gig without a care

[@Sandy-dd4le]

@@heathcornbeef when I saw them, Lux had a pair of gold lamé skintight trousers with matching heels on, and that was it. Someone threw a shoe onstage, Lux filled it with wine, drank from it, and threw it back. Fur Dixon was the bass player at the time and she had the same outfit on you can see in their Tube appearance on youtube , Ivy had these ridiculous lion print leggings and was her spectacular Ice Queen self. NIick Knox just sat at the back in shades as usual. I could have died in the mosh pit, I almost went down in the crowd, with my hands stuck in the pockets of my jacket as the crowd was so tight, one of the most insanely frightening experiences of my entire life, it was awesome!

[@Sandy-dd4le]

Here, all twenty minutes, only ten was broadcast at the time, the sound isn't great but it's magical all the same......Ivy using her sequined glove to pull ridiculous squeals out of her guitar during Hot Pearl Snatch is one of the best things I've ever seen or heard, your mileage may vary. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX_OdKKQatN7i68si=rJ3pUQjow_idrTfY

[@ernestsauter8093]

If you feel like exploring the eighties rockabilly movement, a band you might want to try, is that little old band from Downey California, The Blasters! I suggest Border Radio and American Music.

[@Sandy-dd4le]

Didn't they do Dark Night? On the Dusk Till Dawn soundtrack?

[@ernestsauter8093]

@Sandy-dd4le Maybe, but they have played, in the movie Streets of Fire, as the house band to a biker bar.

[@ernestsauter8093]

I Googled it up and the band in From Dusk Till Dawn it's called Tito and the Tarantulas. They've evidently been around the LA scene for a while, but sound an awful lot like The Blasters, at least to me.

[@Sandy-dd4le]

@@ernestsauter8093 as I remember Tito And Tarantula are the band in the bar....great band, worth a look. I might be getting confused but I thought The Blasters were also on the soundtrack

[@Sandy-dd4le]

Dark Night is indeed in the soundtrack, it plays over the opening credits iirc. Great track!

Bonjour,the Cramps le meilleur groupe de rock ‘n’roll .regarder les vidéos the Cramps Essen 1998 vous allez vous rendre compte qu’il sont les meilleurs et c’est super bien filmé tout les membres du croupes sont filmé parfaitement.et le final dément.

[@kennogawa6638]

Band-Maid "Rinne" a music video is in reference to a movie about a psycho that kills people and films them as they die. That's pretty creepy in keeping with the Halloween theme.

[@SPKdesign1]

Sleaze is their middle name.

There is no bass guitar on most Cramp songs….it adds to their lo-fi, swampy charm. I must have seen them 4 or 5 times.

[@herrglad9726]

They started using bass guitar on Aloha from hell in 1986.

[@I_was_a_Countdown_Kid-75-83]

Got to see them live at the Festival Hall, Melbourne 1986. They were fun. I am not much of a fan of all that Rockabilly-revival stuff in the 80's (Stray Cats were fun until they ran their course, and UK band, Matchbox, irritated me). Anyway, I have a 'Who Did It Better' Halloween comparison. Lord Luther - I Was A Teenage Creature vs Daddy Cool - I Was A Teeanger Creature nzoz1974 I rather Daddy Cool's live performance on the nzoz1974 channel.

[@heathcornbeef]

That's the same tour i saw fucking amazing ah!?

[@Sandy-dd4le]

@@heathcornbeef I think for me too, pretty sure that was the year I saw them. Edinburgh Empire, then a run down, decrepit old theatre with boxes and chandeliers etc, now it's The Festival Hall, and you need to be wearing a suit to get in

@@heathcornbeef That's possible! I remember the fuss that they were in town, and when something like that comes to Melbourne, the same types of people come out and to play.. I'm sure the same faces I saw at the Bowie concert in 1978 were at this Cramps concert. And yes, they were fucking amazing!
