Tesla redid the song back in the, hmm, maybe early '90s or as long as 1989 called Signs (Yes, originally by the Five Man Electrical band),

http://www.seeklyrics.com/lyrics/Tesla/Signs.html

"Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
*!&^%' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

And the sign says "Anybody caught trespassing will be shot
on sight"
So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the house
Hey! What gives you the right!
To put up a fence and keep me out, or to keep Mother Nature in
If God was here, he'd tell it to your face, man, you're some
kind of sinner"

etc.
