The CRAMPS embodied and celebrated everything that was great about American music, art, photography, fashion, cars, and pop culture in general. Lux and Ivy were trendsetters without ever becoming trendy themselves. They were the nucleus of one of the greatest rock and roll bands the United States could lay claim to; always true to their sound, vision, showmanship, and most of all - their loyal fans. They lived the American dream without any strings attached, or apologies given or implied.
English is my 3rd language, so I don't know the right words to describe the awesomeness of this band. But people who love this band, probably understand what I feel.
The most gritty and soulful rendition of this song I've ever heard. Hats off to Return of the Living Dead for exposing me to The Cramps. I know I got to the party a little late, but I still got here with plenty of time to have some fun!
saw a lot of bands and there are very few who could hold a candle to the live show the Cramps put on. Never left thinking I didn't get my moneys worth from any of the shows I saw over a number of years. Thanks for the reminder.
I was in a small weekend alternative healing class with Lux and Ivy in Encino, CA. Late 1980's or early 1990's, can't remember exactly. Didn't know who they were at the time, but they did share a bit of their musical background with our class. They were thoughtful and quiet students like the rest of us in the class. I remember them fondly and, yes, I can say today that The Cramps kick major ass.
Got thrown off the stage twice for try to dance with Poison Ivy ...
I was the Cramps publicist. I loved them so much!!!!!!!!!! This video made my day. Mike In Ventura aka Spike
I love the fact that you have young people listening to a HorrorPsychoBilly band from the 80s play a psychedelic song from the 1960s! in 2011
Fishnets, red hair, an evil smirk and killer guitar, what’s not to love?

I give the harmonica a 4 out of 10
Can the demon that possesed Lux please find a new host A.S.A.P!
My older brother turned me on to the cramps in late 81 and I was hooked I'm 61 now and I still love the music
Poison Ivy so underrated as a guitar player she shreds!!
Poison Ivy needs her own Gretch guitar model!
I shared this song from The Cramps to broadcast it on Radio Saint Affrique FM. Thanx a lot, rock 'n roll long living, you're the welcomes§. Antoine

Best live band I've ever seen
The Cramps..........A very gifted and underrated band, have been a fan of theirs since 1979, and will continue to do so.
I named my dogs "Lux" and "Ivy," but that was before they drank all my booze, beat me up and stole my car.
Ivy is an outstandig icon in her own right
