danced at the Pyramid once in early 1985, I remember the DJ playing The Cramps' "Goo Goo Muck".

I just watched Downtown 81, which follows Jean Michel Basquiat through various scenes in New York in, you guessed it, 1981. At one point he's walking around wondering where to spend the night, and then he says he gonna go to the Mudd Club. I can't tell if he actually does or not, he goes somewhere and watches a group perform in a service elevator as it moves between floors. It starts at about 4:30.<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/KaT1Is_ci3E"; frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
