When I first heard the beatles version I thought, "A punk cover of that would be awesome." Then I heard it in a pub yesterday, and thought it was new... I asked the waitress and when she told me it was the Jam I was like "Shit!"
Click the link, rock out.

1. They also covered "Taxman," but they changed the words, called it "Start,"

2. Actually, that was a Larry Williams tune first
He did some pretty heavy rockers in the late 50s. I liked that Jam version though. Some of that early punk was pretty funny, but not really in a good way.

3. But I still dig the jam
I love the garage sound to it... they hadn't discovered full gain yet
