This is one of those songs that is inexcusable to cover.
They should all be hit in their dicks with a souvenir bat from Six Flags and then urinated on.

AF used to pull off a semi-decent Stiff Little Fingers cover. Not sure why they're resorting to this. Nothing new here.

Can't be any worse than Cee-Lo's horrendous "football-ized" version on Thursday nights.

I know what most of those words are individually but sequenced like that, it lost me.

schaumpton (December 21, 2012)

In a nutshell; Cee-Lo sucks and he ruined the intro to Thursday Night Football.

bastard_squad (December 21, 2012)

I didn't know there was Thursday night Football.

schaumpton (December 21, 2012)

Yep. NFL Network had games every Thursday this season.

The Cee-Lo version is HORRIBLE! I have to put the TV on mute when it comes on...

hey_ska (December 21, 2012)

Yeah It's pretty awful. Blitzkrieg Bop was also on a Jock Jams compilation so they are no strangers to sport.

pwnther (December 21, 2012)

Whoa...its almost as good as Rob Zombie's cover.

akroye (December 21, 2012)

Terrible band. Terrible idea.

Strummerboy (December 21, 2012)

Unless you're 14 and in a high-school band, you have no reason to cover this song. It was perfect the first time around. Also, why does roger sound like he's trying to force a shit out this entire song? It's really fucking off-putting.
