It's Me First And The Gimme Gimmes
I don't know why that took so long to figure out. If you haven't heard of them (just in case), they do punk style covers of classic songs. The cover does sound a bit like Green Day, so I can see how some asshat on Kazzaa labeled it as such.
I'm not getting into a debate about Green Day. That's just silly.

Y'know what's funny...The Sex Pistols get all this massive punk "cred" when they were really the Punk version of The Monkees...A clothing Botique owner named Malcom McClaren put an ad out to hire a put together band to sell clothing and records, realizing that the punk wave in NY would spread...
That's damn near the same origin as the Back Street Boys and New Kids on The Block...

KharBevNor:
To quote the ANL: So fuckin' wot?
The Sex Pistols have got more people into punk music than I can care to think (they got me into punk music a few years back, them and Stiff Little Fingers) and they've had more of an impact on society than twenty Earth Crises. Also, if I can qoute my dad:
"And of course, I like the Sex Pistols because, well, they're the fucking Sex Pistols"
Also, why does no-one ever mention John Otway? He was pretty punk in many ways, and he also fucking ruled.
Plastique Bertrand too. Heard them on an advert recently, which was odd.
Robbo:
And so this thread turns into the "Punker Than Thou" lot, who can actually be funny and have sometihng to say. And complaining "Anti-Elitist" that think being like that makes them clever.
So...let's have some more cake-mix people.

Saturnine1979: Wow, that seems so obvious now that I think about it. I can't believe MFGG slipped my mind.
