What Punk Song to cover?

[Motorhead350]

My band recorded Johnny B. Goode last week, but the problem is... who hasn't? We have decided to finish it up, but are going to be looking for another song to cover. We are thinking Punk Rock this time. Here's what I was thinking:

Borstal Breakout -Sham 69

Personality Crisis -Johnny Thunders and The Heartbreaker's version

Real Wild Child -Joan Jett version

Bad Reputation -Joan Jett

Kissin' Cousin's -The Saints

Depression -Black Flag

Teenage Kicks -The Undertones

Endless Vacation -Ramones

BUZZBOMB -Dead Kennedys

Suggestions?

Like any of these?

Open to anything.

You'll never do a cover better than the original of the following songs...
Borstal Breakout -Sham 69
Personality Crisis -Johnny Thunders and The Heartbreaker's version
Kissin' Cousin's -The Saints
Depression -Black Flag
BUZZBOMB -Dead Kennedys
...so don't touch them, please. Especially the Saints (which is a cover, so you'd be covering a cover!). The songs are just too perfect already...no room for improvement.

He does say Psychobilly. :cool:

I really can't decide. It's a pretty big decision.

"Rave On"-Buddy HollY- Just add your twist to it!

[BigCars4Ever]

One of my favorite songs we used to cover was Next to you by the Police. I know you don't normally consider the Police punk but this song fit right in with our early Clash, Sex Pistols and Gen X. Another favorite was Gen X Kleenex and King Rocker. Actually King Rocker may fit with your rock-a-billy style.
