The Cramps were an influential but not well known band.
Until, that is, Wednesday Addams danced to the song.
Yeah, I know. You saw this on social media with a different song. This is what they ACTUALLY played in the episode. And the song - along with the series - gets credit for reviving goth subculture among Gen Z, as its feature was a huge hit.
The song, a cover of a Ronnie Cook and the Gaylads single from the 1960s, was recorded by The Cramps in 1981 for their album Psychedelic Jungle. It became one of their best known songs.
But, rather than watching Jenna Ortega performing to the song, I feel like you should see how Lux Interior (yep, that was his stage name. Don't worry. No one named their kid Lux Interior) performed it live.... which was wild as heck.
