The Original....For those of a certain age, some trains will never be in vain....
The Cover...This kid really is my favorite of all the Uke punks, even if he does do it all phonetically (I think)...

Extra-Special Bonus Track...The somewhat angry young man in the Original, who really was the musical blood and guts of The Clash, and who is now an old man, reaches an incredible state of grace...Do not be put off by the beginning...Watch it all the way through to the end and joy will fill you...I promise.
