"Caveman" comes from Psychedelic Jungle, the second Cramps album, released by I.R.S. Records in March 1981, and it's homegrown rather than one of the record's excavated oldies. Lux Interior and Poison Ivy Rorschach wrote it, one of just seven of the album's 14 tracks to come from the pair, with the others dug out of '50s and '60s rockabilly, garage and rock and roll.
Lux handles the vocals, Poison Ivy and Kid Congo Powers play guitar and Nick Knox drums. Like everything else on the album, it was cut at A&M Studios in January 1981 and produced by the band themselves, with Paul McKenna engineering.
