I’d like to see Disney try this with GWAR.
What do you have against the Hammond? It would have been right up his alley in PIL. And anyway, the Sex Pistols were essentially a manufactured band along the lines of Dev2.0/Devo 2.0.
This kind of thing normally doesn’t bother me if they are going for an ironic subversion, or even sometimes if they are cashing in. I really dislike changing the lyrics to be more kid-friendly, especially when the original songs were about masturbation and such. Like when Fortunate Son was turned into a patriotic(!) anthem by Wrangler jeans. Imagine if that other 80’s musician-cum-composer Danny Elfman decided to start a band of kids covering Little Girls and Nasty Habits.
