Hey friends - I'm looking for some help. It's a cover of the Buzzcocks "Why Can't I Touch It?" Not the Televison Personalities or Clem Snide or Elf Power. This is someone calling into a talk radio show and reiting the lyrics. The host becomes very annoying saying "I'm not good at riddles." I vaguely recall a Negativland-ish vibe to the whole thing (maybe some low level noise in the background) but cannot recall who the hell did it.

"Among the punks having a go at 14 Buzzcocks classics on Something's Gone Wrong Again are the Fluid, Didjits, Alice Donut and Naked Raygun. But Coffin Break barely follows the melody of "What Do I Get?," Lunachicks make a joke of "Noise Annoys" before jumping into "Promises" and Porn Orchard insert an inane rap and prank phone call into "Why Can't I Touch It?" Doing fair frontier justice to, respectively, "I Don't Mind" and "Everybody's Happy Nowadays," Big Drill Car and Dose are the only bands here that seem genuinely interested in paying tribute to the group."

listening to Singles Going Steady right now, finally found a replacement copy for my beat-to-shit original today after looking for like 4 or 5 years.
I hope I never hear the tribute album that this thread alludes to.

Shit, I don't think I have ever gone into a budget $10 cd store and *not* seen this.
