How do you do a cover of such an iconic song? You change it and do your own thing with it. As with Ghost Town the lyrics seem so relevant in 2020 as they did in 1980.

"Going Underground" is the first British #1 chart single by The Jam, released in March 1980. It debuted at #1 in the UK Singles Chart, spending three weeks at the top. It was the first of three instant chart-toppers for the group.
"Going Underground" was not released on any of the band's six studio albums, although it has appeared on many compilations and re-releases since then. The song was released as a double A-side with "Dreams of Children", which originally had been intended to be the sole A-side; following a mix-up at the pressing plant, the single became a double A-side, and DJs tended to choose the more melodic "Going Underground" to play on the radio.
The song covered important social issues of the time such as political corruption, voter apathy and Thatcherism.
The song was ranked at #2 among the "Tracks of the Year" for 1980 by NME.[6]In March 2005, Q magazine placed "Going Underground" at #73 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks, and in October 2006, placed it at #98 in its list of the 100 Greatest Songs Ever.
