Vicious was due to fly to New York and needed some funds, so after bumping into ex-Pistol Glen Matlock one day they decided to do a gig together. Matlock, whom Vicious had replaced in the Sex Pistols, saw it is an opportunity "to show there was no animosity" between them, he later commented. Matlock recruited his Rich Kid bandmate Steve New on guitar and The Damned's Rat Scabies completed the line up on drums. Nancy Spungen sang backing vocals but after hearing her at rehearsals, Matlock made sure her microphone wasn't plugged in on the night of the gig. The name of the band came from an amalgamation of Sid Vicious, The Rich Kids and Rat Scabies' part time outfit The White Cats.
Recordings of the concert, which included covers of Frank Sinatra's "My Way" and Iggy Pop's "I Wanna Be Your Dog",[4] have been released multiple times: in 1991 on DeLorean Records, in 1993 on Receiver Records, in 2002 on Castle Records, and in 2007 on Sanctuary Records. The 2007 release includes an interview with Matlock and Scabies.
The Belfast Telegraph, after the release of the 2007 album, called the music "raw and wonderfully chaotic".

Vicious White Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And let's get together tonight
I got some money in my jeans
And I'm really gonna spend it right
Been a-doin' my homework all week long
now the house is empty the folks are gone
C'mon everybody
Well my baby's number one
And the house'll be shakin'
From my bare feet slapping the floor
When you hear that music you can't sit still
If your brother won't rock then your sister will
C'mon everybody
Well we'll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside
If the folks come home I'm afraid they gonna have my hide
There'll be no more movies for a week or two
No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew
Who cares C'mon everybody
The lyrics of "C'mon Everybody" by Vicious White Kids expresses the wild and rebellious spirit of youth. The song talks about getting together with a group of friends to have a good time and dance the night away. The singer has money in his pocket that he plans to spend on a fun-filled night. The upbeat tempo of the song is infectious and makes it hard for anyone to sit still.
The lyrics indicate that the singer's baby is his number one, but he plans to dance with three or four. He does not want to miss any chance of having a good time and dancing with different partners. The song reflects the youth's carelessness and their tendency not to worry about tomorrow. The singer says that when you hear that music, you can't sit still, and even if your brother won't rock, then your sister will.
The song is a classic example of rock and roll music that encourages young people to let loose and enjoy life without any restrictions. The lyrics emphasize the importance of being carefree and letting loose, which is a theme often associated with rock and roll music.

Well c'mon everybody
Inviting everyone to join in
And let's get together tonight
Proposing to spend the night together
I got some money in my jeans
Having money
And I'm really gonna spend it right
Intending to spend money wisely
Been a-doin' my homework all week long
Working hard to finish the homework
now the house is empty the folks are gone
Parents are not home
C'mon everybody
Inviting everyone again
Well my baby's number one
Loving partner the most
But I'm gonna dance with three or four
Willing to dance with others
And the house'll be shakin'
The house will be lively
From my bare feet slapping the floor
Dancing passionately
When you hear that music you can't sit still
Music allows you to dance
If your brother won't rock then your sister will
Encouraging people to dance
C'mon everybody
Inviting everyone again
Well we'll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside
Deciding to party but fearing parents' reprimand
If the folks come home I'm afraid they gonna have my hide
Worried about getting in trouble
There'll be no more movies for a week or two
Punishment for partying
No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew
Cutting ties with the party group
Who cares C'mon everybody
Confident about partying despite consequences

This is great! Imagine being there. They should've gotten Chrissie Hynde to sing backups.
I don't see Leave Me Alone by Johnny Thunders in the credits. Shake Appeal by the Stooges, too. Cool that they covered them.

Leave Me Alone was originally a New York Dolls song, Chatterbox. Similarly, Tight Pants was an early version of Shake Appeal.
