WORLDWIDE WEDNESDAY: The Pogues, "Maggie May" (Rod Stewart)

Once again, Sir Peter Jordan...

We lost an astonishing politician this week. Baroness Margaret Thatcher died Monday morning. Do I love her? Do I hate her? Maybe the song/band choice will give a hint.

MARCH OF THE COVERS: NOFX, "Les Champs Elysées" (Joe Dassin)

The Ramones, "Rockaway Beach"

The Ramones, "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg"

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, "Bad Reputation"

Maybe it's time to change the name to Two-na Two-day (Tuna Today?). Or something. Anyway, here's a little Joan to start your morning. Enjoy!

The Specials, "A Message to You Rudy"

MARCH OF THE COVERS: Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, "Rocket Man" (Elton John)

Happy Birthday, Maura.  This is pretty rollicking... but not quite as much as your version :)

MARCH OF THE COVERS: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" (The Ramones)

Another chance to post some YYYs? Sure!

Lydia Lunch, "Lady Scarface"

Wreckless Eric, "(I'd Go the) Whole Wide World"

Like probably 2 million other people, it took Stranger than Fiction (which I highly recommend, if you haven't seen it) to introduce me to this delightfully punky, weird and sweet song. Enjoy!
