Presumably, this is just their live version (from that birthday party) of the
old Motorhead song, from the album of the same name.  Hence, the writing
credit....is it Kilmister/Clarke/Taylor???

Was this the first 'thrash' song in existence???  I can't remember any earlier
MH songs that were quite as fast and furious.  I suppose it's a matter of
opinion....
