[edit] Skatallica / Reel Big Fish Cover

There is a cover of this song that is widely distributed via P2P networks which is labeled as being performed by Reel Big Fish. In fact, it was recorded by a band called Skatallica. At some point the MP3 file was renamed, and the mis-named version made its way around the internet. The Skatallica entry has been deleted, but you can still view the discussion and links on the Talk:Skatallica page. Skatallica should remain on the list to avoid confusion and to prevent the song from inaccurately being attributed to Reel Big Fish.

[edit] Sex Pistols

Did the Sex Pistols really cover this song?

  • Did you look it up on Google before you put a {citation needed} on the article? There's even a You-tube video of the Sex Pistols singing it! Agadant 13:12, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pop Culture Category

This article will need citations and setting up a pop culture/trivia section is not necessary and will be difficult to verify. Agadant 00:27, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pennywise

On what album is the Pennywise cover? --In Defense of the Artist 22:09, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

  • If you question (it shows up on a google search) that they did make a cover of Brown Eyed Girl, please just remove their name from the list of covers instead of putting a {citation needed} template on the article. If you find out the album and date, you can put it in parenthesis next to their name. Thanks, Agadant 22:48, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dead Kennedys

Why aren't they on this page? This was actually the first version I ever heard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Incrediblecorey (talk • contribs) 15:41, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Do you have some more information on this cover? -album, live performance? I couldn't find anything when I searched. Thanks, Agadant 15:49, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

My apologies if i've posted in the wrong place (I'm new to wikis) I removed the disparaging reference to Ronan Keating, Whilst i agree with the comment it is POV and should not be on this site, and as someone who values resources like wikipedia I couldn't let it slip. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.129.104.222 (talk) 00:39, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
