Adny, Ross the Boss, & Handsome Dick nailed it first (1975):
Then came Joey & the boys, this from Rock 'n' Roll High School—Boo yeah! Riff Randle! (1978)
Revived and blown to Smithereens (1989)
Bonus Points: Norwegian Style: Turbonegro (1998)

I think the Dictators have a new album out. I know they are touring this year. Handsome Dick Manitoba is awesome.
