I've got 96 tears in 96 eyes

In February of this year, Human Fly Alex de Laszlo's "lost" 1978 short film featuring The Cramps, was posted to Youtube.

If you can't watch right now, the blog Kogar's Jungle Juice has a very nice rundown with screencaps.


Via Dangerous Minds.

Christ, that was adorable. Them Cramps sure knew how to have some fun.

Don't forget the gig they played for inmates at a California State mental hospital.

I loved The Cramps so much as a teen and still love them. KEXP here in Seattle played two Cramps songs in a row last month and I immediately set in worrying about the remaining members. Technology is the best that I can watch something like this whenever I want to! Thanks for posting!

I really, really wish Poison Ivy would write a book. I can't imagine what stories she must have.

This was cool. Thanks for posting. While I'm here, this (posted by the same author as the FPP-linked blog post) is probably the best Cramps-related thing I've ever found on the Web. Hours of enjoyment.

Still miss you, Lux.

Best part of that is watching Ivy just walking around with a transistor radio (which... kinda looks like a cell phone).
