“A Date with Elvis” is the third studio album by the American punk rock band The Cramps, originally released in 1986. The Cramps are known for their unique blend of punk rock, rockabilly, and garage rock, often referred to as “psychobilly.” This album showcases their characteristic wild energy and darkly humorous lyrics, drawing from rock ‘n’ roll influences of the 1950s and 1960s.

The title of the album is a playful homage to Elvis Presley and 1950s rock culture. The Cramps’ mix of humor and horror themes are prevalent throughout the album, adding a kitschy, cult-like charm to their music.
