I was listening to the Whigs version earlier - it's OK but doesn't cut it for me (I really am pedantic about my Clash covers - hence the name of the podcast). Now the Flaming Lips... if they covered the Clash, that might be interesting...
Or I'll play simple odd ones - I've got some argentinian Clash covers which although funny actually seem to capture the Clash's energy more (what's more punk that lalala-ing the words cos you don't know the language?)
It's like Joy Division or New Order - very few people have done covers that really do something *different* or as equal with those songs.

I'll check out the Emm Gryner version - thanks!
