    Òh my God!

    One day somebody will say something and you will feel really old. Eurithmics is the band name but it was more like a partnership.

    Tainted Love is also not a M M song or even a Marc Almond song as he covered it.

    Everything on the Were A Happy Family Cd is classic. Its got bands on it like Rancid, Rob Zombie, Zeke, Tom Waits, RHCP, Metallica, Pretenders amongst others. Check it out.

    I believe Green Day did a Cover of Outsider not Blitzkrieg Bop. Rob Zombie did BB.

    Outsider was on Shenanegans. But they do a live cover of Blitzkrieg Bop every now and then.
