[kj] KJ Covers

Speaking of Clash covers: Pressure Drop.  The original is great; so if the cover.

The last few times I saw the Mescaleros they played quite a lot old Jamaican ska numbers - feckin marvellous.

I hate covers, but judicially chosen and creatively executed, they can work. Look at the Clash's covers--a twisted yet still good version of "Police and Thieves", a better version of a too-mellow ska tune "Wrong 'Em Boyo" (slightly
different spelling on the JA version), a great reggae version of an old blues song or something in "Junco Pardner", a differnt but no-better-than-the-original version of "I Fought the Law" (the original was great too), and
an amazing version of an amazing song, "Police On My Back" (the original was by some biracial 60s group--name begins w/E--and Eddie Grant I think was the lead singer and that song was an great example of 60s garage/psychedelic...And what about the great Specials' covers--A Message to You Rudy, Monkey Man, Enjoy Yourself--any band that can improve on jems like those are gods!

But.. who has Killing Joke covered?
Name some creative covers you think they should try, or any artists KJ actually has covered?
 
I think they should cover The Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black."
