Flaming Cramps
Flamejob is my favourite Cramps album, and that may be a faux pas to the veteran Cramps listeners, but this album is a little less experimental, and faster than the other two albums I own.
Naked Girl Falling Down the Stairs is a rockin’ tune that keeps with the Cramps style of bizarre sexual lyrics. This girl didn’t just fall, Lux Interior tells us that she was shoved.
Other songs that really stand out Sodo County, Big Eyed Rabbit, and I’m mean.
Psychedelic Jungle
The Cramps Psycedelic Jungle/Gravest Hits is a bit more of an experimental album, but you do get some classics such as Goo Goo Muck, Human Fly, and a particularly entertaining cover of Surfin Bird. The Surfin Bird cover does go a little long into some distorted music, and I have to admit it is not as wacky as the original recording.
I like this album, although it is a little slow, but it has some of the weirdest songs found in the Cramps’ library. My favourtie for weird lyrics in Don’t Eat Stuff Off The Sidewalk, which is a strange tune at a good pace, and it is not too long.
A couple of the other more rocking tunes are Voodoo Idol, and the Crusher.
If you are in to the psycho Billy scene all three of the Cramps albums I have suggested will be a great choice for you.
