psychobilly 

A long dead British genre of music combining rockabilly and 80's garage trash with B-movie, horror and zombie theatrics. The Meteors claimed to be the only true psychobilly band despite their ditching of the revered double bass. Other example are the Guana Batz, Krewmen, Quakes, Demented Are Go, Skitzo and the Coffin Nails.
Klub Foot was the venue to go to.

A fan of such music characterized by the mutating of a traditional rockabilly pomp into a zombified quiff, shaved to the bone at the back and sides. Sometimes with a shaved section on top which left a horseshoe quiff.
~Only the Meteors are pure Psychobilly.
~Hmmm, bit of a childish attitude there.

1)Antiquated slang for the police.

2)Pubic hair.

3)Distorted, guitar sound achieved by use of an effects pedal, originally a fuzzbox. The lead on 'I Can't Get No Satisfaction' was played through a fuzz pedal as was the guitar on much garage punk of the 60s.

Savoy style 

The original form of Lindy Hop, the partner dance that accompanies swing jazz.
So named because the pioneers of the dance, such as Frankie Manning and Whitey's Lindy Hoppers, were regular dancers at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem.
Those cats are crouching too low for Hollywood style, they must be doing Savoy style. They're really swingin'!
