Anciencts of Mu Mu - Extreme noise terror/KLF
Green Eggs and Ham (!) - Ludichrist
We gotta get out of this place - Jello Biafra and DOA
Nazi Punks - Napalm Death
Theme to whatever happened to the Likely Lads - Snuff
Summer Nights - Vandals (or was it Less than Jake?)
Soul Lambada (UK Test Match Cricket theme) - Snuff
Luka - Sofa Head
Message in a Bottle - Leatherface

As Jag pointed out...

(I'd have Folsom Prison Blues, Jackson or Orange Blossom Special before Ring of Fire if I was naming a Johnny Cash track anyway)
