Try the Sex Pistols version of My Way - perfect!

[boobesque]

monster mash - the misfits and Turning Japanese - Incubus

[Chillum]

The Dickies did a version of Silent Night and also Nights in White Satin.

[rja211077]

surely 'Turning Japanese' was already punk? - it's on most of those 'best punk album...ever' type things anyway.

'My Way' was Sid Vicious solo not the Pistols

[Haggisdj]

The Dickies did loads... amongst which are Paranoid and The Banana Splits

[delboy3]

1. Sex Pistols - (I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone
2. Sex Pistols - Rock Around The Clock
3. The Slits - I Heard It Through The Grapevine
4. The Damned - Eloise
5. Toy Dolls - Nelly The Elephant

[WaldoMcFroog]

There's a band called Me First & The Gimme Gimmes who do nothing else. Particularly good are Tiffany's 'I Think We're Alone Now' and Jimmy Cliffs' 'I Can See Clearly Now'.

Look here for details:

The Batman Theme, David Watts (Kinks?), In the Midnight Hour (Wilson Pickett), by The Jam.
Johnny Was by Stiff Little Fingers, (originally a Bob Marley Song.)
Police and Thieves by The Clash, (originally by Junior Murvin). Both absolute classics.
Waiting for my Man by Slaughter and the Dogs (originally Lou Reed)

Me First & The Gimme Gimmes did a great version of Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder. I also like The Boys Of Summer by The Ataris, and there was also a great version of Up The Junction done by someone... possibly Save Ferris.
