I used to write punk covers to amuse myself..here's a few examples:
Baby, I'm an Anarchist! - Denise, Sara, and Jesse are, too. This is not exactly punk, even when Against Me! did it first.
Jump Around - Word to your moms, I came to drop bombs. This gets downloaded a lot by Chinese kids who think they're getting House of Pain's version.
The Logical Song - Heavier. Originally by Supertramp. As I understand it, they don't like their songs being covered, so...sorry!
MacArthur Park - Goth Metal version of the Richard Harris/Jimmy Webb schmaltzfest.
Pressure - Somewhere, Billy Joel is wishing he had done this version. Not real happy with this one, but I'll put it up anyway. What the hell!
Sea of Heartbreak - A cover of Johnny Cash's cover of Don Gibson's song of loss and woe. Full of meaty straight-up punk goodness.
Sister Golden Hair - Happy pop-punk/ska version of the happy pop-folk America song
Sonic Reducer - Punk standard by the Dead Boys, later Pearl Jam.
There's a fair amount of original stuff out there, too, but it lives on whichever respective band website it belongs with.
Learning Acid - Something I spit out while learning to use Acid. The name came to me in a dream.
