What was the first punk song?
 

???

"Smells Like Teen Spirit"

:p

i hate it when punk fans who've started to branch out start tagging things as being punk that aren't punk. it comes across like they are saying that soandso is worthy of being bestowed the title of punk.

"buddy bolden was the first punk because he blablabla..."

the first punk song is dance dance by fall out boy.

I'm a punk.

i'm not a punk, how can i be?, show me the way to conformity...

...i'm just a square going nowhere.

has someone been drinking too many cokes today?

Stairway to Heaven

Rumble.

walking on sunshine

The first belch let out by a caveman was also the first example of something that sounds like punk.

"In the hall of the mountain king" by Edvard Grieg. The working title was "The first punkrock song"

The Kingsmen covering Richard Berry...

Louie, Louie

In acknowledgement, it's been covered by too many punk bands to count.

Rock Island Line (Lonnie Donegan version).

Etc.

The theme to Captain Planet.

Kick ass signature.

That one song by the ashlee simpson.
It's SO punkrock omfg lol

me. i am the first punk song.

Who cares?

Why do we need to debate this over and over?

Things like this are what made me stop reading other "punk" forums.

Misery guts.

Wow, I was the last poster in this thread from 4 years ago until someone dragged it out of the mud...

I guess everyone agreed with me.

If ya want to get technical about it, whoever first picked up a guitar and expressed themselves w/ it in such a way that wasn't aimed at pleasing an audience.

I think that can be used to describe countless blues musicians and many a peeps that came after.

W/ that said, the Stooges will always be the first real "punk band" as far as I'm concerned. That first Stooges record came out the same week as Woodstock. Shit really says something. "Punk", as a movement, def. seemed to have taken shape right after the Stooges broke up.

Who was that by?

For me, "Strychnine" by the Sonics. Can't think of anything that punk before, or any more after.

Dick Swab and the Bumboys:

"Misery guts, up yer butt
Misery guts, up yer butt
Misery misery...missseeeeeerrrryyy guts!
UP YER BUTT!"

etc

surely gene vincent or something fron the very early days of the electric guitar rawwk thing.. yknow the kind of shit that scared the parents of your parents! the kind of shit that caused kids to scream and yell and cause riots... surely thats punk! so bill hailey and gene vincent and numerous others....... punk doesnt need harsh distortion, punk doesnt need a spikey haircut, punk doesnt need a fuzztone bassline, punk needs an attitude and the youth cultre willing to rebel against their peers... thats punk!

the first punk song was.. 'blitzkrieg bop'
and the last one was called 'today your love tomorrow the world'

some irate caveman knocking rocks together. cavewoman next door starts shouting. first punk band. even though they were more no wave.

Hound Dog by Elvis Presley.

LOUIE LOUIE
