The great thing about this is the Vandals even considered covering it. Just under 3 minutes is plenty of time to get the point across for this tune, and I like the Vandals rendition a little better... No one ever accused any punk bands for being "skilled musicians". One has to compare apples to apples.

great cover... It isn't meant to be amazing and complete. Listen to the original for christs sake.

That's the problem with most "Skilled musicians." They give a shit what people are gonna think. The vandals just decided to cover an awesome Focus tune that they liked. Let's see you do better!

granted, Hocus Pocus does have a punk style riff...but that's the only thing Focus has in common with the Vandals. Not many skilled musicians would attempt to cover this tune, but this "cover" is just embarrassing and incomplete.
