I don't believe White Caps is a cover of Jaguar. It probably was originally by a group called the Jaguars. The song "Jaguar" that you reference is pretty dissimilar.

Edited 8 years agoGarage rock that comes from the punk rock camp is an amusing beast: it personifies the decadent spirit of rock n' roll in its purest form; No frills, no solos, no production, no encores, no bullshit...just rock and roll, alcohol and "fuck you," but simultaneously, unlike its 1960's forbearer's, garage punk is fiercely independent, scene-driven, and frustratingly antagonistic. This early 90's San Francisco band was a shameless mess of deliberately sabotaged shows, 34th rate production, B&W Xeroxed 7" single artwork and what I can only call, punk rock n' roll in its least dolled-up form...no make-up, no bright-lights-big-stage, in fact, it was just pawn-shop instruments and dollar-store toilet paper to wrap themselves up in as "mummies." All of this would be childish horse-shit though if the band didn't back up this wanton disregard for accessibility with THE best garage rock songs of the last 50 years. Their LP's are pure garage-punk genius, and the band knew this, which only reinforces the unabridged wonder of this 7" single. It's a shambles of shitty guitars and crappy amps that is a bull-in-a-china-shop backdrop to a tongue-in-cheek (kinda?) garage rock stomper that is equal parts Billy Childish, sci-fi trash and their own brand of deranged Nuggets era punk rock. Note: this is the only 7" single I included on this list, as all physical versions of this song are out of print. The CD-loathing, The Mummies did release a very small pressing of CD's called, "Death By Unga Bunga" on Estrus Records several years ago with this song on it, but, it's easier to find it on the original (or repress) 7" single on Ebay / Discogs than that rare CD pressing from several years ago. Besides, vinyl is king anyway.

Absolutely sterling noisy lo-fi garage rock anthem & by far the best thing ever to come out of the Planet of the Apes saga. A raw-as-hell performance, imbued with a real sense of terror!
