Cock Sparrer - Wathca Gonna Do About It (1978)

The original by The Small Faces 1965. The songwriting duo of the group Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane already had the melody for the song inspired by Solomon Burke's "Everybody Needs somebody to Love". However, they had no lyrics so Ian (Move It) Samwell provided the words for the song.

And this version by Cock Sparrer from their debut album True Grit in 1978. Cock Sparrer was founded by Colin McFaull, Mick Beaufoy, Steve "Burge" Burgess and Steve Bruce – who had known each other since the age of 11. Playing in nightclubs in and around London, they developed the style that was later to be known as streetpunk or Oi!, mixed with pub rock/R&B influences. In 1976, Garrie Lammin (Burge's cousin) joined as second guitarist, and the band met with Malcolm McLaren, who was considering managing Cock Sparrer alongside the Sex Pistols.
