"Punk" songs by non-punk artists

What ho or whatever,
just interested how many songs now associated with rebel music (successfully covered by a few or many rebellious acts) but written and originally performed by non-rebellious artists you could remember? My take.
1. "I fought the law" — Bobby Fuller Four. Covered by the Clash, Dead Kennedys, Billy Bragg and even (yuck) Green Day among others.
2. "Real wild child/Wild one" — Johnny O'Keefe & the Dee Jays. Covered by Iggy Pop and Joan Jett among others.
Your choices?
