ask Mr. Pickles?

 


I asked him what was spinning on his virtual turnable and he wisely told me, The Cramps!


This is how you front a band (1980)! One of my early exposures to the underground world of music...Urgh! A Music War is well worth checking out


TV Set (1978) was the fist tune I ever heard by The Cramps and what's better than watching it played at a mental institution...how apropos...hahahah 


The whole shebang of a show!


Hands down my favorite Cramps tune...'nuff said.

I got somethin' to say to you and you better listen
I'm'a tell ya how to be cool in one easy lesson
Go!
Sunglasses after dark!
AAAAAHHHH! They're so sharp!
And you'll be cool
...And the squares'll drool
It's real simple...
Sunglasses after dark!
AAAAAHHHH! They're so sharp!
Listen to this:
Went out last Saturday night
Got myself in a knife fight
Everybody got cut includin' me
'Cause not one of us cats could see!
We had on S.A.D.
That's right.
I was hangin' around on the street,
When this great big guy ran right into me!
I could hardly make him out, everything was so dim,
But then I seen what was wrong with him...
He was wearin' sunglasses...after dark.
Sunglasses after dark!
Whooooo! They're so sharp!
Sunglasses after dark!
Whooooo! It's so simple!
...Uh, where am I, by the way?
...Oh, yeah.
