Remember the standard, written by yours truly: “If you are going to cover a song, rip it apart a bit and make it your own.”

Girls, girls, girls. It’s all I think about.

UPDATE: Three more songs from the same show:

Cool Metro, Frenchette, and Reach Out (I’ll Be There).

UPDATE II: Turns out this show was from 1980. My initial guess was 1978, since that was the year the album came out. These clips are from the German show Musik Laden. There are a ton of great clips from that show on YouTube.

(Punk rock was a pan-Anglospheric phenomenon that was invented independently in Britain (Sex Pistols), USA (Ramones) and Australia (Saints) at the same time. This almost freakish simultaneous cultural outbreak shows that the world was, somehow, some way, ripe for this new approach. The new generation of rock’n’roll was a spirit wandering the Earth, struggling to be born in audible form.)
