And I bet you thought it was just buskers on the London Underground who covered this:-mp3 : The Skids - All The Young Dudes
mp3 : Billy Bragg - All The Young Dudes
The former was recorded for a Radio 1 Session for the Kid Jensen show back in 1979, and is on the double-pack single of Working For The Yankee Dollar.
The latter is on an official bootleg from a 2004 gig entitled Billy Bragg at The Barbican and is still available through the great man's website right here.
Let me hear you now......

Ooh, thanks for the Skids' cover. I used to have that Yankee Dollar double pack and sold it. Always liked their version, especially how they changed the original lyric to "Who needs TV when we got Subway Sect"
Fantastic. I wasn't aware of these - thanks for putting them up.
