Other tracks on the mix tape, if it helps:

Pere Ubu - Non-Alignment Pact
Primal Scream - It Happens
Shriekback - Nemesis
Joy Division - Digital
Transvision Vamp - Trash City
Billy Bragg - Help Save The Youth of America
A hardcore punk version of Amazing Grace I've never been able to track down.
There was another punk song that I've never been able to identify, but has distinctive lyrics. I should post that separately some time. I actually did post that one several years ago, but no replies.

(I do realize that what I'm listing above isn't really "punk" and the track I'm looking for is. The only truly punk songs he had, I can't identify. But it does kind of establish a time frame.)

How frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!! I have this cover version ( I am always certain it's the one you are talking about) on an old cassette but only track listings and no artists as it was a comp done for me by a friend and ex member of Napalm Death but I haven't seen him for a couple of years now :(

Yeah, that's what the mix tape I had was like. It was cassette without tracks or artist listings.

Not sure what era it is but The Creeping Cruds - Stomp Tokyo seems to fit your description. Came up second on YouTube when I searched Godzilla punk.

Actually, that's pretty close in style. But it follows the BOC lyrics pretty closely in the version I was looking for. But I like this one too, thanks!

Wait!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sure it is this! I had an odd feeling it was the band snuff from a flexidisc way back (only those of a certain age will remember them!). Go to 2 mins on the vid and it's there (at least it's the version I am going on about!)

The one you posted was a cover of "Don't Fear the Reaper". It was good though! :)
