Stay Sick! is the fourth studio album (and ninth overall) by the American rock band the Cramps.[2] It was released on February 12, 1990, by Enigma Records, recorded at Music Grinder in Hollywood, self-produced by guitarist Poison Ivy[1] and engineered by Steve McMillan. It was the last made in studio with long-time drummer Nick Knox.

"Bikini Girls with Machine Guns" was the band's only UK Top 40 single, reaching No. 35 in 1990.

The album name pays homage to a saying from Ghoulardi.[3][4][5]

The Cramps reissued the album on their own Vengeance Records in 2001. This edition contained four bonus tracks: "Bikini Girls with Machine Guns (Live)", "Beat Out My Love," "Jailhouse Rock" and "Jackyard Backoff". It also featured a slightly different cover.
