Cover #10: The Damned cover "Pretty Vacant" by The Sex Pistols

 Someone or something posted a link to a YouTube clip for The Damned playing this song live in 1979.  I don't remember hearing or seeing this before, so just now I checked it out.  It is wonderfully chaotic, a true souvenir of the time and place.  As for the cover version itself?  Well, you have a first wave punk band covering another first wave punk band, which did not happen all that much, so that itself is a treat.  This is sloppy, fumbly old punk at its best.
