Green Fuz
The Cramps Lyrics

The Cramps's song Greenfuz is a fast-paced, energetic tune that seems to be about a group of people who are on the move and urging others to join them. The band describes themselves as the "green fuz," which feels like a pseudonym for some kind of movement. They invite the listener to "jump to your feet" and "let us catch your eye," indicating a sense of urgency and importance. The "green fuz" are not too slow, but not too fast either, reassuring us that we won't be left behind. The repeated lines "We're coming fast, I'll tell you why" and "Here we come baby and you'd better run" imply that there is some kind of impending danger or excitement approaching that the "green fuz" are excited to be a part of - and they want us to come along for the ride.

The song's title, "Greenfuz," is a reference to a song by The Ventures, an influential instrumental rock band. The song was originally released in 1961 and featured a trademark infectious guitar riff that The Cramps adapted for their version. The Cramps were known for their eclectic influences, often drawing from early rock and roll, rockabilly, and surf rock.
