The Twang did a decent version of Drinking in LA, might have been for BBC live Lounge. That's what made me dig up the original a few year ago.
As for the Tamperer. Bit of a guilty pleasure, If you buy this record your life will be better made it in at #970, one of the more random singles in my collection after my sister gave me it when she was having a clear out
And
Hammer to the Heart came in at #806, I don't think they released anything else which I'd a shame
