I don't get why this cover was done. It's terrible.

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes specializes in punk covers of songs like this. They may even do this one. |

Great cover, but not as good as the original. It was one of the few times that S&G really rocked!

This is a great cover. And I've always liked it because my band used to play a cover of their cover. S&G rocks!

Actually no, I can't imagine it.

I can only figure you're playing this in August because the weather this summer's been as crappy down in Paradise as it's been up here in Vancouver.
