That's a cover of a song by Green Fuz, no? "Green Fuz" by Green Fuz?

Yeah, but the vocals on the Cramps version make it sound like it's straight off Evol.

Well, Thurston's first major NYC concert experience involved the Cramps and Suicide, so I don't think the Youth would deny the influence.

Has a Sonic Youth track ever featured a vocal performance that even approaches anything by the Cramps?

music != vocals

Kim Gordon's vocals on their cover of "Touch Me I'm Sick" is probably the closest.
