"Bikini Girls With Machine Guns" comes off the Cramps' 1989 album Stay Sick!, and the title tells you exactly which drive-in double feature Lux Interior and Poison Ivy had been watching when they wrote it. Lux leers and yelps his way through it, Ivy's guitar twangs and snarls like a hot rod with a busted muffler, and Candy Del Mar's bass and Nick Knox's drums keep up a rumbling, hip-shaking stomp. Ivy produced it herself, with Steve MacMillan engineering, and she keeps it trashy, loud and gleefully cheap in all the right ways.
