Goo Goo Muck
The Cramps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I turn into a teenage Goo Goo Muck
Yeah, I cruise through the city and I roam the streets
Looking for something that is nice to eat, mmm
You better duck
When I show up
The Goo Goo Muck
I'm the night headhunter looking for some head
With a way-out body underneath that head
Yeah, I'll get you, baby, with a little luck
'Cause I'm a teenage tiger and a Goo Goo Muck
You better duck
When I show up
The Goo Goo Muck
Yeah, the city is a jungle and I'm a beast
I'm a teenage tiger looking for a feast
Yeah, I want the most but I'll take the least
'Cause I'm a Goo Goo Muck tiger and a teenage beast
You better duck
When I show up
The Goo Goo Muck
The Goo Goo Muck
is a song by the American punk rock band The Cramps, released in 1981. The lyrics are about a teenage monster called the Goo Goo Muck, who comes out at night to hunt and feed on humans. The song is known for its catchy surf-rock sound with a hint of rockabilly and punk, which perfectly captures the band's unique style.
The song starts with the lyrics "when the sun goes down and the moon comes up, I turn into a teenage Goo Goo Muck." It is believed that the "Goo Goo Muck" is a reference to a monster from the 1960s TV show The Munsters, which was a popular show in the 60s and 70s. The character, Eddie Munster, was a little werewolf boy who terrorized the other characters in the show. The lyrics describe the Goo Goo Muck as a teenager who cruises around the city looking for something nice to eat.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "you better duck when I show up, the Goo Goo Muck." The verses describe the Goo Goo Muck as a night headhunter with a way-out body underneath its head, looking for some head. The lyrics are filled with references to monsters and beasts, such as "I'm a teenage tiger and a Goo Goo Muck" and "the city is a jungle and I'm a beast."
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a teenage monster that is a cross between a werewolf and a punk rocker, with a hunger for human flesh, but also a love for the rock and roll lifestyle.

I shit you NOT ........
Lux is Watergate "hush money" convict Jeb Stuart Magruder , son of Nixon CRP banker Herbert Kambach.
Poison Ivy is born Christie Wallace , daughter of Alabama governors George and Lurleen Wallace.
During the 33-year Cramps tenure Poison Ivy moonlighted as Fawn Hall , unindicted first-secretary to convicted LTC Oliver North , Pentagon liason to the 1980's White House during the Iran-Contra scandals involving the trade and transport of illegal weapons and drugs.
The mother of Christie Wallace also had multiple personas. Lurleen Wallace , as state first lady , could not handle Alabama's segregation politics and media heat . She escaped to California and became Miss Byerly , Business Studies Department teacher at my public high school (MKHS) during the mid-1960's. We recognized and busted her incognito scam by organizing the Boys' a Cappella chorus to gather outside her 3rd period study hall class and sing Negro spirituals "at" her while the TV news cameras were recording.
Ms. Byerly retreated back to Alabama and became governor. Then she died . But actually she sneaked over to Arizona and became a state legislator , appellate court judge , and finally the first female SCOTUS justice in 1981 appointed by Reagan under her final name Sandra Day O'Connor.
I can go on about this for hours.
All this shit be the TROOF !!

@TheDerroLondon
Has it really taken 40 years for The Cramps to be truly appreciated
@bronsondaggers
I thought it was a modern hit I never heard off for it was new. Yip
@ChloeM-ke4kc

@jeffgrimm8495
never heard of them back in the day
@justanotherdayinthelife9841
It was the true appreciation of those that added it to Wednesday that allowed it to be given to the lazy masses who refuse to dig for great music because they're used to being spoonfed everything.
@adamfindlay7091
No not really...creeps find cool credence Congo power by toxic voodoo lagoon pantyhose claws.
@Jean_Pierre_Wehry
It's awesome when a show or movie that goes viral introduces many people to a great song such as this one. Love this song.
@rayanna7188
I agree! Ngl I didn't know this song until I watched that scene in Wednesday. I kinda feel ashamed I didn't know this earlier but at least I have a new song I'm probably gonna be obsessed with lol

Hey Jean, if you're looking for a job, John Peterson told me to give you his number. I think John (or was it Scott?) is allergic to nuts, but he said you could taste his
