Anarchy in Your Hand
Anarchy In Your Hand
(Lennon-McCartney-Cook-Jones-Matlock-Rotten)
Ah, the piece de resistance (literally, the piece of resistance) in the Pop Machine canon. Or one of them, at any rate. Only the smart-assiesed of smart-asses would cram the lyrics to "I Want To Hold Your Hand" into the music for "Anarchy in the UK" waaaay back in the pre-Nirvana days, and we are those smart-assesses.
Fun side note: years later in LA, Sook pulled this one out at a "punk-rock karaoke" night, featuring actual punk rock musicians like Mike Watt of the Minutemen, etc. Not only did Mr. Watt compliment him on the concept, but one of the alternative paper heavyweights (maybe the LA Weekly, if I remember), gave him a nod as a "rocket scientist" in their ensuing coverage...
Al: Vox
Sook: Bass
Scott: Guitar
Dave: Drums

Some parodies fall flat, but this one Rocks! Eat yer heart out Weird Al...
-- Johnny Leed
One of the best Weird Al moments that you or I ever engineered. I mean that. And you haven't lived until you've sung punk rock in front of Mike Watt.
