Psychedelic Jungle is the second album by the American garage punk band the Cramps. It was released in May 1981 on . It was engineered by Paul McKenna and recorded in January 1981 at A&M Studios. It was self-produced by the Cramps. The photo on the back cover of the album was taken by the noted photographer and director Anton Corbijn. Only half of the album's 14 tracks are original compositions, written by guitarist Poison Ivy Rorschach and singer Lux Interior.

Hillbilly greaser Tom Waits speeds past the cops in his hand-painted 1950's Cadillac, with a surf board strapped to the roof. The coppers spring into action, chasing the Caddy into a nearby cemetery. They arrive to find the now-totaled car half inside a crypt, smoke coming from the inside. A few rows on from the car they see a man standing on top of a tombstone, bathing in the moonlight, oil all over his hands and leather jacket (which is older than the man himself no doubt).
