Wednesday Addams
Tonight’s selections are from rockabilly/punk legends, The Cramps. Not from one specific album but a few of my favs from across their long career. The question is, is Goo Goo Muck this years Running Up That Hill — that is, a song which experiences a revival after appearing in a popular Netflix show.

Goo Goo Muck was a novelty hit by Ronnie Cook and The Gaylads, released in 1962 on the Audan Record Company, a small label based in Bakersfield, California. [...] Meanwhile, back in Ohio, the teenage Lux Interior (then named Erick Lee Purkhiser) was listening to Ghoulardi and laughing his ass off. This was the sick shit he was looking for. Ghoulardi’s anarchic wildness and the obscure, exciting music he played set the young Erick off on a lifetime obsession. With his girlfriend Kristy Wallace on guitar, and renamed Poison Ivy, they formed The Cramps in 1976. Hitting New York at the height of CBGBs punk, The Cramps played music from the all-American nightmare – a Frankenstein’s monster stitched together out of the blues, doo-wop, rockabilly, country, R&B, exotica, garage rock, psychedelia, instro-surf and more. They were music obsessives. Crate-diggers who collected long-forgotten records and re-tooled them for the 70s and 80s, borrowing intros, riffs, and chord patterns from obscure tracks from the 50s and 60s and turning them into something unique. Goo Goo Muck was perfect for The Cramps. They took the quaint Ronnie Cook and the Gaylads original and transformed it into a sinister, Duane Eddy-eque nightmare for The Cramps’ second album, Psychedelic Jungle. — Louder
