Memorable Moments

Talk about unintentional humor: the 'good' punkers just play speeded-up versions of Beatles tunes, while the bad punks sing a goofy song about pain!

To top it all off, there's a subplot about Ponch wanting to become a singer, leading to him singing a God-awful version of "Celebration" !
