Caution.. The Song List - Oct 1988


Caution - The Psycho Nurse Song List Can Offend You!

A very Popular songs that is not on this 1988 list is:
"Christopher Street"- written by J. Mitchell

That song was part of the original show since 1985 and remained one of the more popular numbers the band performed.
It sadly was never recorded.


"FMJ" was dropped after the crufixton of Mickey Mouse on Stage at CBGB's, Prompted Skin Heads, to think the group was outrageous.

"Crib Death" was also dropped from the show, even though the Smashing of a Crib, on stage, did seem to entertain the crowd.
Parts of the Crib were autographed for fans after the show.
Autographed parts of the Crib were once auction off at a local music fund raising auction in the Harrisburg area.

Promoters ask "if the band could not perform FMJ or Crib death anymore". The songs seem to offended everyone.

However, the famed tune "Eat My Cunt" or "EMC" as it was known, remained a staple of the show through out the bands run into the 1990's and in their Reunion Show .

"Electric Fuck" replaced FMJ on the song list, around this time.

Jumper cables were attached to the girls Nipples as part of the performance.

It became the popular final number of the show, with the audience screaming "Jumper Cables, Jumper Cables, Jumper Cables".Some audience members even brought their own jumper cables to the show, to make sure the prongs were REAL and it was not a rigged cable that was being placed on the girls breasts. The girls used the audience cables when ever they offer them.

No promoter seemed to mind the" EF" number, and IMHO, it was by far more radical that FMJ or Crib Death.


These songs and performances should not have offend people, because it was all done in" Toung and Cheek Humor" that reflected the artist's opinion on popular and social issues of that time .

Who knew, that the Rap songs to come along in the late 1990's/2000's would be 1000 times more graphic and commercialy accepted by teenagers all over America.
