Does anyone know the cramps song played before live shows?

I heard a good song from the cramps twice before a sisters
gig started (one at a munich gig 98 and one in Prague 2001)
I am a cramps fan, but I only know the newer stuff of them
and that was a brilliant tune. Could anyone tell me the title
of that song. Taking vonns laziness into account, surely he
always uses the same songs before gigs start...

I thought it's the venue that chooses the songs played before the bands come on (except for a specific intro which has normally been Afterhours or that similar one on the last tour!) :?

this ain't gospel...and as it's the Cramps i could well be wrong without actually hunting the CD down...but Gravest Hits is on CD as bonus trax on Psychedelic Jungle...

don't ask where this CD comes from but i think it could be an American issue...and i only have it on CDR :innocent:
