=== 1990s === [[File:The-Cramps.jpg|thumb|220px|right|Lux Interior and Poison Ivy in Tokyo, 1990]] Candy del Mar and [[Nick Knox|Knox]] left the band in 1991. The Cramps hit the Top 40 in the UK for the first and only time with "Bikini Girls with Machine Guns";<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums" /> Ivy posed as such both on the cover of the single and in the [[music video|promotional video]] for the song. The Cramps went on to record more albums and singles through the 1990s and 2000s, for various labels.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography" /> When the band signed to The Medicine Label, a Warner Brothers imprint, in 1994 β the label made the announcement via a limited edition (500 copies) 12" live album of the Cramps' first two Max's Kansas City shows, given away to all ticket holders as they exited a secret CBGB show in early January of that year. In 1994, the Cramps made their national US television debut on ''[[Late Night with Conan O'Brien]]'' performing "Ultra Twist". In 1995 the Cramps appeared on the TV-series ''[[Beverly Hills, 90210]]'' in the Halloween episode "Gypsies, Cramps and Fleas".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0522816/ |title=Gypsies, Cramps and Fleas|publisher=IMDb.com|access-date=December 18, 2012}}</ref> They played two songs in the episode: "Mean Machine" and "Strange Love". Lux Interior started the song by saying "Hey boys and ghouls, are you ready to raise the dead?". In honor of the success of the Cramps, the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]] has on display a shattered bass drum head that Lux's head went through during a live show.
