The Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck” immediately had a massive renaissance after its inclusion in Wednesday. The song soundtracks a moment where Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) takes to the dancefloor and channels some goth moves of yesteryear. The actress even shared some of her inspirations for the scene, namechecking everyone from Siouxsie Sioux, Bob Fosse’s Rich Man’s Frug, Lisa Loring, Lene Lovich, Denis Lavant, and “archival footage of goths dancing in clubs in the 80s.”
