That one line change was cute, but the rest of it sounds like overly-produced power-pop-punk that's too heavy on the pop and not enough on the other stuff. Glad you enjoy it though--different strokes and all that. As for the Virus Nine song, like I said I haven't had the chance to listen to the whole thing yet. I'm just glad that <I>somebody</I> has gone and done it. (From a Google, it looks like there could be another cover or two out there, but I wasn't able to locate them, so dunno for sure.....)

The Ramones would have nailed the song, Virus Nine dude can't sing it right. It made me start thinking of the Ataris version of "Boys of Summer", though. (Out on the road today/I saw a Black Flag sticker on a Cadillac). That was a good cover. While your vision is indeed excellent, the execution is far from perfect.
