I thought PDM's Route 666 could include a verse of police truck.

I was working on an all instro version of Holiday in Cambodia. Unfortunately, my old Memory Man stopped working, so I kind of put this to the side. I should get back to trying to finish it up

We use to cover it in one of my old bands but we were doing the full song with vocals and a surf version.

We fooled around with it in my old punk band (vocal version). We never played it live because our singer didn't really feel comfortable pulling it off, but I think it'd be cool as a full instro.

I dont think anyone on earth could possibly feel comfortable pulling any of Biaffras vocal parts.

Hell yeah man, I love that line. It's my favorite part of the song. And it's also my favorite DK's song. BTW Tony I forgot to give you the DK's poster...

The Robots do a instro medley of Police Truck/Holiday in Cambodia/Stealin People Mail/Let's Lynch the Landlord

We play to lots of punk crowds and that medley is our ace in the hole for those shows.

When it comes to Dead Kennedys and songs dealing with cops, I was always partial to their version of "I Fought The Law". That's not to say "Police Truck" isn't effing awesome, though.

Because it is.

El Ray have done "Too Drunk to Fuck", at least live. Hawaii Samurai (a french trio) did it as well. We did it once too live.
Really cool if the audince knows the text and shouts in the refrain.

"Ubber Alis"
"wala "

OK, no Mizz Szandora. I found her sort of distracting, too.

We get the vocals back, however.
