my vote is a few old songs, i don't know the bands.
The Boys Are Back in Town
The Night Chicago Died
Bad, Bad Leroy Brown
i like them but i think if there were covers, they would probably turn out good

As gay as it sounds, I think Beat It would make a pretty good oi song. I have a hilarious cover of Senor Coconut doing it with a Latin rhythm.

I like Metallica's cover of "Last Caress".....they do a better job that the misfits on it I think. Honestly (I hate admitting this) AFI does a cover of that song that I think Danzig would be proud of.

Songs that need to be covered: Someone needs to re-cover "Boots n braces by Skrewdriver....I guess I'm weird but I don't like Ian Stuart as a vocalist, politics aside even...I still am not a fan of his.

Flatfoot 56 did "We're Not Gonna Take It" at Oi! Fest at the Sterling, that was pretty good. Also Funeral Dress at their show, covered "Leaving on a Jet Plane" and it was actually pretty fucking good.

hahahah...an old wp band from here was trying to cover it but the singers vocals were just not on the same level of "coolness" that the song requires.

Jonny Cash...and subsequently Tom Petty- I Won't Back Down....
Although...the orginal had that warm crackly Johnny Cash signature sound...and Tom Petty did a pretty sweet cover....I'd like to see it done in the oi oi wu tang sword style... Maybe...if Discipline did a cover...hahahahaha.

You got it backwards there...

It's a Tom Petty song, Johnny Cash cover.

No shit? I guess I just assumed Johnny Cash did it because he's older....and ever so slightly cooler. Thanks for letting me know, though.
