I give you an anthem-rock band of brothers (and former Irish fiddle champs) covering Sham 69. Somehow it works better than you'd imagine: Mama's Boys - If The Kids Are United.

I'm sorry but this much worse than I'd imagined.

You have to have one foot in the dirthead nation to appreciate this, brother dano.

I don't even know what dirthead means.

dirthead=mullethead, headbanger, critter, stoner, heavy metal fan, etc.

Somewhere Jimmy Pursey is crying. Again.

Philistines. This song was begging for the anthem rock treatment.

I know you sent this to me already, but why do I keep getting this confused in my head with "The Kids are Alright"?

At home I have the Dropkick Murphy's (one of the few remaining intersting harcore bands) doing a cover of "The Kids Are Alright."

I'd love to hear Old Skull cover this. Too bad they're all grown up now. Any other prepubescent punk bands out there these days?

I've got the Dropkick Murphy's version of "If the Kids Are United" at home. Good stuff.
