It is a fact that virtually all released songs hide some history at the time of their composition, whether due to events or thoughts. With the sound “Goo Goo Muck” it couldn't be different, because it is a story as obscure as its lyrics.
To begin with, nothing better than commenting on one of the subjects that are most popular at the moment: the Addams family! Before becoming a TV series in the 1960s, The Addams Family was an American magazine cartoon. The New Yorker, between the 1940s and 1950s.

The story is based on a satire of a middle-class family in the U.S, created by Charles Addams, which became a TV series in 1964 and was a huge success around the world. Its plot was completely contrary to what the mainstream media showed, as the family's dark behavior was different from that of the houses displayed as perfect by most media.
Netflix ended up making a version telling the story of Wandinha, a member of the scary family. Tim Burton's project, which is a spin-off of the Addams Family, turned out to be a huge success, even being one of the most talked about subjects on the internet. One of the viral scenes of the series is when the protagonist of the spin-off dances strangely to the sound of “Goo Goo Muck”.
Originally, the hit “Goo Goo Muck” was released in an unprecedented way by Ronnie Cook and The Gaylads, in 1962, by Audan Record Company, a small label based in Bakersfield, California. The song was written by Cook and Ed James.
It is believed that, in the beginning, it was just a joke, in which a hit song was taken and transformed into lyrics about an ordinary teenager, who turned into a monster at night, as in the line “When the sun goes down and the moon comes up/Viro Goo Goo Muck teenager/I walk around town and I walk down the street/Looking for something nice to eat.” eat".
Already in the history of the version of The Cramps, the adolescent Lux Interior, also known as Erick Lee Purkhiser, listened to the song and thought it was amazing! Accompanied by his girlfriend, Kristy Wallace, and assigning a new name, Poison Ivy, they formed in 1976 the band The Cramps.
The hit “Goo Goo Muck”, by Ronnie Cook and The Gaylads, was transformed by the band, as Lux made changes drastic, as in: “I am the headhunter of the night looking for a head” which became “looking for some head". Elsewhere important, The Cramps says, "Sometimes we're accused of stealing other people's stuff, but we look at those things as magic."
Royalties from the song's current success will be split between the responsible producer, Jim Shaw, and The Cramps' recording owner, with mechanical royalties.
