did Social D ever cover "Pretty In Pink"??

[Avarice]

Hey guys, you'll have to forgive me for asking about a subject that's old news, but I'm new here. I've been listening to Social D for a few years now, and recently came across a song that claims to be a cover they did of the Psychedelic Furs song "Pretty In
Pink."

Now while I realize that there are a lot of bullshit mislabeled songs online, I've got a pretty good ear, and damned if this doesn't sound like Mike Ness. However, I really couldn't find much anything about it online, and considering all the classic Johnny Cash/Edwin Bruce/Stones covers they've done, it doesn't seem likely that they would've done something as "poppy" as a Psychedelic Furs song.

So I thought I'd ask you experts: did indeed the band ever cover this, and if so, what album or compilation is it found on?? Thanks!!

That topic always comes up....

woot. This gets dragged up at least once a month. You can set your watch to it.

Well guys, I checked out that "Before You Were Punk" CD on Amazon, and after comparing the the song I have to the samples online, I'm convinced that it IS Automatic 7 after all. Nice to clear that up. I was already a bit skeptical, but goddamn if it didn't have me fooled for a minute though! Guess I just have to study the nuances of Mike's voice a little more.

Anyway I hate to have asked--since obviously you guys get this question every so often--but I really do appreciate all of your input on this.
