The David Johansen Band:

The sound quality on this one is not nearly as good but it is a great old live video of The David Johansen Band. Make sure to take a look at about the 3:40 mark of the video; David is buffooning about the audience when he takes a quick step and very nearly gets clocked by one of the roving cameras:

The Slackers:

Oh the disharmony! Much like Harlan County there are no neutrals here. Only one cover tune will live to play another day and it is your solemn responsibility to decide which one prevails. So tell me … Which Side Are You On?!!?

Also, keep in mind that if you should spontaneously self-actualize while playing a cover then you could – and probably should – nominate it for Top 10 (i.e. “Impeccable”) consideration.
