      Kind of obsessed by the song "Little Boy Sad" originally by Johnny Burnette.  I have many different versions, the best is The Gants punked up garaged speed ball cover.  But I have country versions and teen pop versions.  Mpd Ltd do a good cover of the Gants cover too.

      I've always liked the cover's album "Garage Punk" by "The Vibrators". Some really cool stuff on there, won't list any track's, i think they're all great.

      Here's a link to the album on spotify for those of you who use it: http://open.spotify.com/album/6kbdVPNYclNXmoydIh0V8I

      Ramones' Acid Eaters album is a great one-stop thrill ride full of garage/punk covers (and a great gateway album for squares).

      Nice choices - I'll have to look up that Renegades track (I love Bill Haley).

      I had one more:

      Nashville Pussy - First I Look At The Purse by The Contours.

      The Dolls' seldom heard killer verson of Eddie Cochran's "Somethin' Else" (Tho' Eddie is plenty Punk with me) . There's a  version on a bootleg that's better than the one on "Red Patent Leather" (A glorified bootleg , anyway.) . Better 'n Sid , but , arguably not as good as Slade's medley , that and "Pistol Packin' Mama" , BASED , OF COURSE , ON THE GROOVIES, whose version I like , BUT SLADES' VERSion destroys everything in it's path.
