This song by The Flamin Groovies is such a great song that every band that every band that covers it stays faithful to the original. That is how flawless it is.

Good thing Devo didn't cover it.
Amazing cover of perhaps the greatest power pop song of all time.
I absolutely LOVE this cover. If I listen to this in my car I'm sure to get a speeding ticket.
It just so happens l have been a Flamin Groovies Fan forever. The frist time l heard it it was perfect. The Yum Yums did a great job. Sometimes you have to let the music be what it is. If you cage it, you will never have the product you desire. Blessings to everyone. Even you my dear Amanda. One day you will understand a watched pot never boils. I forgive you , dear. The Flamin Groovies are lighting outside of a bottle. Their creativity was never understood when it came out, but now everyone loves them. It's so sad that art, is judged by people who rarely understand it.
The Flamin Groovies do a great cover of this...

You are joking, sir, aren't you ?
*sits up ... Takes notice* Look I'll probably get shot down by groovies fanboys but while they wrote one of the undoubtedly greatest pop songs ever in shake some action, they didn't play the greatest version of it imo. Tough call I know. For the past 30+ years I've considered the hitmens version to be how the groovies should have played it, and Chris masuak and Richard J's guitar solos are the highpoint .. until now. This absolutely rocked out with it #### out. No questions about it. Made my night hearing this. The guitars and drums are so on point it's not funny, and that solo ... I didn't think I'd hear a version that I would enjoy as much as the hitmens for melody, skillful execution and passion, but this one matches it in spades. Congrats .. I'm in a dark place ATM and you temporarily transported me from it to a place where there is sunshine.

I love this one too. Seriously, these yum-yums get it. Groovies rule!
It would be hard to screw up the greatest pop song of all time, and the Yum Yums do it full justice.
Great version of one of my favorite songs.
Super version very cool
Yes! Finally found what that series of notes was. Been popping up in my head for 40 years - the Flaming Groovies. Next vid was this one. Harder, faster, MORE! Thanks for the post.
Fkn great cover of a sublime song.
Amazing cover of powerpop. I listend it twenty years ago.
Sofa King olyHay uckFay! FINALLY. This is the cross between the polite one and the 80's one.
fantastic!!!
Best cover!
Nice aggressive pop cover!
A little weird at the intro, but then great cover all the way.
When I first heard this tune in the 70s it was like somebody had handed me an acetate of some great, unreleased Beatles tune.
BRILLIANT! Fuckin' A!
Gimme a better version, if that’s possible
