Definately one of the best songs ever written i mean the original. But this is probably one of the few decent cover versions of a classic song.
A young obssesive fan of TOTP albums and the 60s, 70s and 80s music.

@colt79sigma Hi Gary Gilmores Eyes does that count??

@colt79sigma I have a list of all the songs I sang lead or co lead on over 70 songs. I thought I'd done about 7 or 8!!!!!!

Ok I gotta laugh, people actually criticising my 'awful accent' on the words Pretty Vacant. What accent should it be? We would sit and listen to every phrase and try to copy the exact phrasing on every song we recorded and get it near as we could. Anyway it was a track we had to do we did it you like it you don't like it it was fun to do.

Did we really buy these albums? The vocalist isn't that bad though he sounds more like one of those old fart new wave bandwagon jumpers of the time rather than punk but he's better than that miscast berk who played Johnny Rotten in the Sid & Nancy film.

as a big pistols fan i quite enjoyed this its awful in places but has its moments especially the we don't care bits, but the awful accent on the words pretty vacant kill it, still a canny attempt for the time though, would love to know who is playing on it

LOL Tony, that's actually not bad!!!

A short but relevant story from this session I was sitting at the control desk at De Lane Lea Wembley, my 'lead vocal' was laid down, and a couple of the guys were on the mic doing the extra voice bits, tap on my shoulder turn round and McCartney is standing there laughing. He asked if he could bring a couple of people in to hear it, he came back with Lind a McCartney and Chris Thomas they loved it Chris Thomas produced the Sex Pistols version..LOL
