"An anthem that we haven't

"An anthem that we haven't torn apart"

Here are four previously unreleased versions of "Complicated Fun," the spine-chilling Suicide Commandos punk song from which this web site takes its name, performed last year by the reunited Commandos with John Freeman on vocals for various Target commercials (mentioned here). The shorties (this one, this one, and this one) aired on TV. This one--a full take of the song recorded for posterity--did not, which makes this a worldwide exclusive.

A million thanks to Robotboy's David Richardson, who art directed the commercials, for sending these along (with the blessings of Target and the band). He says it was his colleague Amie Valentine who came up with the idea of using the song and getting Freeman (who covered it with the Magnolias) to sing, so thanks to Amie, too, and long live the Suicide Commandos! (Odd phrase, I know.)
