7 - Girl on the Phone (The Jam)
13 - Get off my cloud (The Rolling Stones)
16 - Balwyn Calling (Skyhooks)
19 - is THE SKIDS!!!! U2 and Green Day covered it

BTW the lyric on #1 is " Hey is Dee Dee home" Johnny was so anti drugs he didn't even want to record the song. That's why Johnny Thunders and The Heartbreakers did it first. Also Johnny Thunders and Dee Dee shared a common "health problem".

Ok LL. Yeah 19 is The Skids originally, but this being the festive season and all. On the same token, Marianne wasn't the first to do The ballad of LJ & theres another song in there with about 10 different covers.

On Chinese Rock - my ears thought the lyric was Dee Dee, but I went to the www for the lyrics - the site gave the Thunders lyric as some other name??? Anyway - 7, 13 & 16 correct

[FattyLumpkin]

4 to go & some help given


LL - listened to Chines Rock again. To be honest, got no idea what name the Ramones are using????? Sounded more like Tony????!!

[Leaping Lindner]

This is the Heartbreakers version live Fatty..........see what you make of it. Great song either way!
