Cover #37: We've Got A Fuzzbox And We're Gonna Use It! covers "Spirit In The Sky" by Norman Greenbaum

 This is a perfect example of "it's so bad it's good."  I absolutely loved this group when I first heard them in the C-86 era- they were just so different from everything else.  This group embraced the entire "we're not going to let the fact that we've never been in a band or played any instruments before stop us" punk and post-punk ethos- very much in the spirit (ahem) of The Slits and X-Ray Spex.  So, here they put their unique spin on the old classic rock hit.  It is definitely a unique take- it only sort of sounds like the original.  Good stuff.  ✅✅✅✅
