You all know Black Betty - the classic track by one-hit-wonders Ram Jam that's been covered by everyone from Nick Cave to Tom Jones.

Well, Kram and those Spiderbait folk from New South Wales have become the latest act to cover it. And Kram's growly vocals are perfectly suited to this stomping rock makeover. The video's a hoot too - filmed in California, it features Kram playing drums and shouting (but of course!) and oozes road movie class.

Excuse me, I'm off to bounce along to the chorus. "Black Betty had a child, bam ba lam, the damned thing gone wild, bam ba lam, Whoa Black Betty, bam ba lam..."
