Great essay about it here:

What caught my ear was the line "it’s nice to be nice when you can be nice". This might be where the Cramps got the lyric for Gorehound:

When my pork chops talk to me they don't say "come to me and rest"
They say, Ty, eat me! and they mean it! And then sometimes, on really good days, after I have discarded their steaming carcasses. I hear the voices of their compatriots calling to me from the stove. Ty! Eat us too! MMmm Seconds on pork chops! :lol: :coolsmile:
