Contributed by crackpotdemagogue. Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 1:00 PM (EST)

At a show in San Francisco last week, Toronto's Fucked Up were joined on stage by ex Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra for a rendition of the Ramones classic "Blitzkrieg Bop". You can view a video of the performance by clicking read more below.

Fucked Up were recently nominated for a Juno award and have announced plans to release a new 12-inch single, titled The Year of the Rat on What's Your Rupture. A stream of that song can be found here.

I would think they could dig a little deeper than "Blitzkrieg Bop," considering how eclectic both the band and Jello are. Nonetheless, crazy ass pairing!

1. If I had the chance to have Jello Biaffra on stage with my band, I would've taken ten minutes to learn a DK song.

2. There are sooooooooooooo many other amazing Ramones songs to cover. Why does every band ever choose this one?

Someone told me to listen to Some Girls because I liked some grindcore.

They are not grindcore, but damn, they're actually pretty cool.

Has everyone else heard the blessed word of Subway having all their sandwiches being only five dollars for the foot long?

It might be, nay, it is the greatest thing to ever happen to humanity.

I'm listening to Sublime right now. God damn I love this band.

Could you imagine where they would have gone musically if Brad had not been a moron and od'd?

I wonder the same thing about Nirvana.

I was at this show. I could care less about the Dead Kennedy's but I figured this was something cool/glad I got to witness it.
