Please help me find a thrash version of Six White Boomers.

Can you help me find a thrash/garage version of Six White Boomers?

Ages ago I heard a thrash version of 'Six White Boomers' probably on 4ZZZ, an alternative community radio station in Brisbane, Australia and I've been trying to find it again ever since.

It would have been the mid-80's to early 90's when I heard it and The Dickies version of The Banana Splits theme is very similar to the sound I'm thinking of.

I found a live cover on YouTube a couple of years ago but my searching skills continue to suck and I can't even find that anymore.

All help gratefully received!

I've got mates who program for 4zzz, so I'll ask if they've got any ideas.

Still waiting to hear back from the programmer list, but PROGRESS IS A HAPPENING.

That is ... horrifying but still a step up from the original. No, the one I'm thinking of was definitely more of a thrash thrash SIXWHITEBOOMERSSNOWWHITEBOOMERS sound.

That song kind reminds me of 'Sex With a Bearded Man', which I enjoy in a cringey kind of way. I forgive it because it mentions sex with a bearded man, which is a treasured memory.
