Untitled[edit]

Africabambatta did a cover of Kick Out The Jams sometime in the mid eighties. It is the coolest cover of this song that I have heard to date. Has anyone heard of it and if so, any thoughts on where to find it?

Presidents cover?[edit]

The Presidents of the United States of America did not actually cover this song. It's title is the same, but the only similar lyrics are:
"Let me be who i am
And let me kick out the jam
...
I done kicked em out"
Does this really qualify as a cover? Bakkster Man 04:58, 8 April 2007 (UTC

What they did, to me, sounds like the took the core of the music and wrote new lyrics. I can't call it a cover if they used one line from the original, yet I think they'll it a cover....otherwise they stole the tune. Dewdude (talk) 00:51, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:MC5-Kick Out the Jams (album cover).jpg[edit]

Image:MC5-Kick Out the Jams (album cover).jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Composer of Motor City's Burning[edit]

The track listing here credits Fred Smith. The text of the article claims it is John Lee Hooker. One of these is wrong. Which is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Superwesman (talk • contribs) 20:00, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The song was originally by John Lee Hooker. The MC5 changed some of the lyrics. I don't have the CD handy, so I don't know who took song-writing credit, but it may have been "Sonic" Smith. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 20:08, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Missing verb[edit]

This sentence has no verb: The album, along with fellow Detroit band the Stooges' first two albums, until after the punk movement traced its lineage back to it.
What did the three albums do? Does the following sentence provide a clue? Now on CD, the remastered live version is kept in its original uncensored state.
Did they remain censored? (Were the Stooges albums ever censored?)

Broken link[edit]

The Lester Bangs "Rolling Stone" review link is broken.

Reviews and references[edit]

I have created the reception section and moved the reviews from the infobox into that section. Later, I had to merge these sources:

Bangs, Lester (1969-04-05), "Music Review: MC5 - Kick Out The Jams", Rolling Stone, retrieved 2008-01-09
Bangs, Lester. "Kick Out The Jams by MC5". Rolling Stone. Retrieved 5 September 2007.

So now the reference looks like this:

Bangs, Lester (1969-04-05). "Music Review: MC5 - Kick Out The Jams". Rolling Stone. Retrieved 5 September 2007.

I have also changed the access dates to the format "day month year" and the citation template to the cite web template.
