Please help identify the artist - punk version of 'Happy Together'

Does anyone know who does the punk cover version of 'Happy Together' originally by The Turtles? Not the one by Simple Plan on the Freaky Friday soundtrack. The version I'm looking for is rumored to be by New Found Glory but according to their web site it's not them. Any help would be appreciated! I want to use it at my wedding reception. Thanks!

Perhaps the Blue Meanies?

I thought it might be the Blue Meanies but I listened to the version on the album Full Throttle and it's not the one. The version I'm looking for sounds a lot more "recent" like it would be by Simple Plan or a similar band.

I wish it was Simple Plan cause it would be easy to get my hands on the CD. That's not the one I'm looking for although it is punky.

Yep - the one I'm looking for sounds more aggressive and a bit darker than the one on the Freaky Friday soundtrack.

I'm not sure. It sounds like it could be them. But, on the New Found Glory web site there is a video of the guys from the band saying that it's *not* them.

From their web site:
"Some think it's NFG that did a cover of BACK THAT ASS UP & HAPPY TOGETHER, which is on Napster. But you know what? It’s not them. Hear Ian talk about it along with a note from Mr. Cyrus coming to you from their rehearsal space in San Diego, CA. "

Maybe they're joking around?

Who knows, CDDB allows users to submit their own albums, so some guy might have just attributed the song to NFG even though its not them.

Weird.

Did anyone see the Asian movie of the same name? I was thinking I heard a different version in that film.
