The Cramps

The song is a tribute to the Cleveland Radio DJ The Mad Daddy (Pete Myers)

Lux once mentioned in an interview that he was never really happy with the sound of the first two Studio Albums (Songs The Lord Taught Us - 1980 March & Psychedelic Jungle - 1981 May) and I agree! The Ohio Demos do document the Sound, that they had, much better!

Lux Interior (Erick Purkhiser) -- vocals

Poison Ivy (Kristy Wallace) -- lead guitar

Bryan Gregory (Greg Beckerleg) -- guitar

Nick Knox -- drums

Lyrics:

Standin' on the corner a-wearing my shades

Up walked the police and asked my name

I said, I am the Mad Mad Daddy

I am the Mad Mad Daddy

Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma Mad Mad Daddy

Let's go baby, let's go daddy!

I am the Mad Mad Daddy

You and Jane meet Jungle Jim

Hey baby, whatcha doin' with him?

Now I am the Mad Mad Daddy

I am the Mad Mad Daddy

Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma Mad Mad Daddy

Let's go baby, let's go daddy!

I am the Mad Mad Daddy

Six foot three with the feet on the floor

Hey baby whatcha waitin' for?

Now I am the Mad Mad Daddy

I am the Mad Mad Daddy

Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma Mad Mad Daddy

Let's go baby, let's go daddy!

I am the Mad Mad Daddy

Let's rock! Let's roll!

Now let's go baby, let's go daddy

I am the Mad Mad Daddy

Take over!

Ooo, I jump so high, never come down

'Cept for that I'm goin' round and around

'Cause I am the Mad Mad Daddy

I am the Mad Mad Daddy

Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma Mad Mad Daddy

Let's go baby, let's go daddy!

I am the Mad Mad Daddy

Pair of shades, purple shoes

I got a parachute to land on you

I am the Mad Mad Daddy

Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma Mad Mad Daddy

Oooooooo Mad Mad Daddy!

Ah let's go baby! Let's go daddy!

I am the Mad Mad Daddy

Let's rock! C'mon roll!

I said rock! C'mon roll!

Let's go baby! Let's go daddy!

I am the Mad Mad Daddy

Mad mad mad Mad Mad Daddy!

@AngryKeegan you can obtain them in any form.. mp3 vinyl cd.. just search.. the first release was a single box (3 45rpm -7inch EP's) And that box still can be found for a reasonable price. But they never has been released official. Maybe because of copyright issues, as you may know the Cramps had big problems with IRS.

Lyrics are wrong in a few lines. Should be "Standin' on a corner, a-wearin' my shades, up walked a pair of legs and asked my name", "You Jane, Me Jungle Jim" and "Let's go baby, let's go batty!" Also, "Yeah, I Iump so high, never come down, set the record goin' 'round and 'round". Just lettin' ya know.

I am surprised at how much better these demos are compared to the official releases. The guitars and vocals are distinct compared to the muddle official release. Where can a copy of these demos be obtained? Did the Cramps ever release them?
