The Dropkick Murphys include a song about SLF called "Get Up" on their lp Do or Die:

I went North to see the Stiff Little Fingers play
the kids in the Belfast were tearing it up
Jake is the punkest dude I do declare
He got a leather jacket, and the spikey hair
"We All Fall Down" So Get Up Now
"We All Fall Down" So Get Up Now
Since '77 they've made music for me and you
playing punk rock songs while the bombs they blew
now I suspect these songs are about pain and strife
but I'll tell you this they didn't waste their life
