When th'heck did Crack the Sky do that song?  The only cover version I knew
they did was "I Am The Walrus" (which I own the 12" promo edited version of
... heh heh ... it's cheaper than kollekting Hawkwind!).  I'm a big CtS fan
from having lived in Baltimore for four years, and one of the bands I'm in
covers "All American Boy", from 'White Music', my fave CtS LP, but I'll
admit I've never really delved into their post-Lifesong output ...

(obVagueOnTopicness - Crack the Sky were probably the only other
"mainstream" American 70s rock band that delved into irony and
tongue-in-cheekiness nearly as much as BOC did)
