The Stiffs - Fuck You (1978)

This is the original version of the Vancouver punk anthem later re-recorded by the Subhumans (who featured ex-Stiffs Gerry Hannah and Mike Graham) and has been covered by DOA, Screeching Weasel, Overkill and many others

Recorded in May 1978 but was never released until 1991 when the song appeared on the double-CD compilation "Last Call: Vancouver Independent Music 1977-1988"

FIRST COMMENT had no idea subhumans covered this glad to here the first sounded good thanks for posting

[JimmyHeartburn75]

thanks for the comment! I guess technically it's not a cover because Gerry and Mike took this song with them when they formed the Subhumans and this was unreleased at the time

[deathtotheism]

My favourite punk song ever written c:

[Joshua Plain]

Being so obscure, I never thought I'd run into a Thrash or Die fan on a video this unknown.

[Sonny Moore]

[carl9417]

Overkill's version rules, listen it!!!

[TattooSupply1]

Loved DOA back in the day - shame on me or not knowing that this was a cover

[Mike IX]

I like this version... Never even knew Overkill covered it. I knew about the DOA one though.

[Wilford Brimley]

I always thought that Overkill made this song in 1988, but I found out this song was made long before that. It took some balls to put this song out on a record back in 1978.
