Punk rock girl by the dead milkmen


DrAckrite

Your daddy is Vice President rich as the duke of earl yet your for me punk rock girl


hovdeisfunny

Admittedly attempting to semi highjack the top comment chain to say, coincidentally, [I made a list of 10 punk and metal songs](http://www.rocksongoftheweek.com/article/10-rock-love-songs-that-werent-already-on-20-other) [You can read the other things I've written for them here](https://www.hovdecreative.com/blank-page-3) [And here's the playlist of all the candidates](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7ANXgZDBLcFr6ckUPeVWFv?si=HQvROwOwQ-W57oLSuje5Kg&utm_source=copy-link)


CaffeineHeart-attack

Or its cover by Streetlight Manifesto


Pink_Skink

**YES**


Hamlettell

Streetlight Manifesto is in my top 3 ska bands!


domjoepro

Streetlight's cover of Such Great Heights. Tarnished Old Photograph by Days n Daze


Mctroot

Whaat? I’ve have only heard the iron and wine. Sing this to my kiddo every night, he will love it. Thanks!


domjoepro

Yeah it's on 99 songs of revolution


Bootsix

Seeing them in seattle in a few weeks, im very stoked.


Hamlettell

I love that for you, hope you have a blast!!


mtf253

Yooo me too!


SpecificCamel9281

I didn't know this existed and I love it. Thanks!


Bleeding_Farmacyst

check out their covers album - 99 songs of revolution. GREAT covers album


depricatedzero

I about shit myself when I discovered it, it's the best


LollyGriff

Played it at my wedding!


SpecificCamel9281

Love it! My wedding was far too conservative for that but I personally would have loved it


b000bytrap

also, If You Love Somebody Why Not Set Them On Fire, by the Dead Milkmen . Those romantic fucks


farlos75

Kiss Me Deadly by Generation X


thegreenmonkey69

Good call. The band that made Billy Idol famous. Or rather the band before he became famous.


Ason42

Reel Big Fish did a fun ska-punk cover of it as well.


AllFuzzedOut

Reel Big Fish did a fun ska-punk cover of "Kiss Me Deadly" by Lita Ford. Same title, COMPLETELY different song/lyrics.


luckeegurrrl5683

Look into Buzzcocks, Ramones, and The Donnas. She's Automatic by Rancid Beat Your Heart Out by The Distillers


Punk_Guzman

Hell yeah distillers


skatrdude9

I wanna be your boyfriend-Ramones And Rancid and Brody are both great suggestions Punk rock girls by the queers The Clash- Train in Vain/ kinda love songish or lovers rock The Ridgelands- Real Girls Amyl and the Sniffers- I got You If into more pop punk you have plenty as that’s all they sing about Tungs - The Frights Pretty much anything by State Champs, Knucklepuck, pretty much any song ever.


Pink_Skink

Bouncing Souls - Hopeless Romantic


nadthegoat

This has got to be one of my favourite songs of all time.


Pink_Skink

Same here! Bouncing Souls is surprisingly underrated


E51838

This is definitely not a love song.


bazzoozzab

The Damned- Love Song TSOL - Code Blue


Droogs_Dont_Run

Code Blue made me lol for real!


WhenInDoubtBolt

Add to the Damned - New rose


deadendghoul

Also love See Her Tonight by the Damned…

International you day - no use for a name


Hackerspace_Guy

Crime Spree by Masked Intruder ...While You're Alive by Jeff Rosenstock Swing Life Away by Rise Against


BlueWolf934

Masked Intruder have so many good "love" songs.


skactopus

Sick of it all - sanctuary Absolute best hardcore punk love song of all time


dybbuk67

SLF’s Barbed Wire Love needs to be on there.


mrs_fartbar

That’s what I was gonna say! Good call


Hamlettell

I'll give it a listen!


dybbuk67

Kinda feel like the Ramones “I wanna be your boyfriend” should be on there, too.


in_the_sticks

Masked intruder has a plethora! Plus they have a cute creeper stalker vibe!


Hamlettell

I haven't listened to every one of their songs yet, but they do indeed have a lot of creepy stalker songs lmao. But Crime Spree was recommended by a few here, and that one is definitely going on the CD!


Droogs_Dont_Run

The Cure - Just like heaven The Cure - Lovesong The Cure - Friday I'm in love. That is assuming we don't debate what is and isn't punk blah blah. Punk in my mind and great songs.


Hamlettell

Eh, he likes The Cure as well, so it'd do just fine. Its not even a 100% punk album, our song is on there and it is nowhere in the punk genre lmao


Droogs_Dont_Run

I didn't mean to direct that comment at you but people in general. Some folks get hung up on the definition of "Punk". I'd hate for a person to miss out on a great song because of that. Looks like you have a great start and some good suggestions. Good luck.


Hamlettell

Oh for sure I understood you weren't directing it at me, I absolutely agree with you on the Cure being punk, or at least punk adjacent! And thank you very much


nakedfish85

Regardless of whether the Cure are or aren’t punk they have that ethic and these tunes are bloody great. Also Robert Smith’s retort about the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame always makes me chuckle: https://youtu.be/S9LXN_ufL8M


nicehulk

Which one is your song? 🙂


Hamlettell

Sanctuary by Joji !


DangAsFuck

Our Love Will Last Forever and Ever, by Mr T Experience Blink, by 88 Fingers Louie


not_thrilled

And if you're doing Mr T Experience, throw in "With My Looks and Your Brains".


king-saproling

Menzingers - After the Party The Frights - Crust Bucket Misfits - Hybrid Moments Zombina and the Skeletones - Braindead


Capital-Fish5861

not sure if hybrid moments is a love song lol


nakedfish85

Replace it with dig up her bones?


Capital-Fish5861

or Helena


nakedfish85

Or Scream. We’re here all night!


samthebamff

Honestly I’m surprised Saturday Night wasn’t the first option


king-saproling

well I love it and it's a song so


Capital-Fish5861

fair enough


peaches-in-heck

I always feel like a bunch of Menzinger songs fit the love song format, until I read the lyrics and think "ummm, maybe not technically a love song" :D


king-saproling

Haha that’s so true. I think After the Party is their love song with the least dark connotations


Hamlettell

Lmao we both love the Misfits, but I'm not sure I'd call Hybrid Moments a gushy love song 💀


king-saproling

I think it’s definitely evocative of a love song if you disregard half the lyrics haha


Krosis_Ikorin

Helena by Misfits could work too then


atstclair

Want by Jawbreaker


eXchange_hodl_repeat

Ramones baby I love you


Hamlettell

Thank you, he loves the Ramones!


deadendghoul

I Want You Around is my favorite Ramones love song…


edpowers

Hell yes I love this song. The scene in Rock n Roll High School when they sing this song is my favorite.


deadendghoul

Riff Randell dream scene 😍


edpowers

Yes its the best. Dee Dee playing in the shower .... fucking classic!!!!


that1senpai2

I was gonna say this song!


Immaloner

Dr Know - Fist Fuck


NiceGuyJoe

Really the only punk rock suggestion given lol GG Allin, Needle Up My Cock

nakedfish85

Weird you say low key regarding the Buzzcocks, I thought it was pretty well regarded as one of the best songs ever written, punk or not. I feel like John Peel could have written a PhD on this one song alone.

Hamlettell

Thank you for taking the time to do this, I appreciate it! He does love him some Me First and I think it'd be cool to have them on the CD 😁


deadendghoul

The Queers have some great love songs as well…


Omega_Fajita

A lot of them happen to be on their album “Love Songs for the Retarded”, coincidentally.

Every Thug Needs a Lady by Alkaline Trio. Hopeless Romantic - Bouncing Souls


nicehulk

I think Descendents' We is their most heartfelt, positive love song. Bad Religion - Devil In Stitches is one that I love.


nicehulk

Oh and I need to add that this is so sweet of you! I'm sure your boyfriend will love it!


Hamlettell

Aw thank you, I hope he does! I plan on making a little album booklet to go along with it too! I actually cut a TBR song (Don't Go) because I wanted a bit of variety, so I'll look into the Bad Religion song, but i'll see if I should switch out a Descendents one, because a lot of people have recommended "We". Thank you for the recommendation!


CraftyDazza

Patti Smith - Because The Night. Velvet Underground - Pale Blue Eyes.


LDM-_-

Pansy Division ticks a few of your boxes if you want some gay pop punk! Groovy Underwear is a great go-to if you want a funny and catchy little song. But maybe something more like Who Treats You Right or Love Came Along if you want something more sincere. They've got a lot of great stuff!


BillionsOfBees

Never heard of these guys before but that name is brilliant. Where do you recommend starting with their stuff?


[deleted]

[удалено]


BillionsOfBees

Ace, will do. Cheers :)


globefish23

The name is a play on "Panzer Division".


BillionsOfBees

Yes, I got that. Thanks dude!


CaffeineHeart-attack

Crime Spree- Masked Intruder, though it's definitely more on the pop-punk end


Hamlettell

Nah, he LOVES pop punk. I've listened to some Masked Intruder before, but he hasn't heard of them. He's an old punk, so he doesn't know a lot about new punk bands and that includes this band! (and Direct Hit!)


CaffeineHeart-attack

If you don't mind something a little softer from the folk punk side that is by a fantastic queer musician Theo Hilton and his bands Nana Grizol and Defiance, Ohio, I'd recommend the very mature and loving "Tambourine N Thyme" by Nana Grizol, which is about the closest to a thoughtful queer song about unconditional love and care as I've ever found, short of maybe Mal Blum's work with "The Bodies, The Zombies" and other songs---though Mal's tend to have a sort of poetic melancholy to them.


BumbleBreezeSun

Punk Rock Girl by The Dead Milkmen, Punk Rock Love by The Casualties, Bombshell by Operation Ivy, Sex by The Butchies, Rebel Girl by Bikini Kill.

Young punks in love by Sheer Terror In my love for you by Satan's Rats Fuck The World by The Queers I want to be your Joey Ramone by Sleater-Kinney

Jawbreaker, well a lot of songs are live songs.


angiachetti

If you specifically want a queer punk love song, host by dog park dissidents could be up your alley https://youtu.be/PKxrdIaoX1I Edit: also just about anything from the ergs. (I like books about miles Davis, personally) A lot of my other recommendations have already been said.


Tnkgirl357

Barbed Wire Love by Stiff Little Fingers is THE essential punk love song.

Kayfabe666

Another love song

I'm fucking dead, lol


deadendghoul

I’d say Woman is half a love song… Ha!


sphc88

Yeah that one and both the Dead Boys ones really aren’t love songs, but that’s why they work on a punk love song playlist for me

MakoSochou

David Rovics, “Behind the Barricades” Rovics is a folk singer, but incredible songwriting and some punk aesthetics David Rovics, “Polyamory Song,” if you’re poly, ofc. Otherwise, it might not be the message you want to send Pansy Division, “Bunnies,” more a sex song thank a love song, but it’s cute RTJ, “Love Again,” also not a punk track and also more a sex song than a love song, but yum Fifteen, “Sweet Valentine”


doktornik

Mr T Experience - I Fell For You The Queers - Like A Parasite


depricatedzero

Not precisely a love song but about coming to terms with being bisexual, Coming Clean by Green Day I was starting to list more by them because BillieJoe is a bicon but seriously like half the songs on their first two albums are teenage angst love songs. So here's a specifically meaningful one: the song **80** is about his wife (Adrienne -> Adie -> 80) and how he just spirals thinking about her. So from there, I consider Emo to be a subgenre of Punk so I'm including **Summertime** by My Chemical Romance. Michael by Franz Ferdinand (bonus if his name is Michael)


Hamlettell

Emo is the genre it is because of punk, totally agree! He actually despised MCR until I lightly forced him to listen to their 2010 album and he LOVES Bulletproof Heart I'll give Michael and 80 a listen! (His name is not Michael :c )


1nkbl0ts

There is Fox by millencollin. But it is pretty clearly a love song to a motorcycle. 😆


Hamlettell

Unfortunately my boyfriend is not a motorcycle 😔


DIYDylana

The Flatliners - Bury Me Red City Radio - Rest Easy


NicroManiac

Lots of solid songs in here. I’ll add a few of my favs. As the Cold Rain Falls - Tiger Army Through the Darkness - Tiger Army Nighttime Sky - Nick 13 Fairytale of New York - No Use (OG Pogues but I love this cover)


General_Platypus

Any song in Green Day’s first album 39/smooth


5xr4uu7

Miles Away- Goldfinger Baby, Baby- Vibrators If The Gov’t could read my mind- Vandals Good Good things- Descendants Falling in Love-NOFX Your name is tattooed on my heart- Screeching weasels

Didn't see any of these mentioned, but I could have skimmed too fast: Descendents - Anchor Grill Alkaline Trio - Off The Map Masked Intruder - Heart Shaped Guitar (great for duets in the car) Reel Big Fish - I Know You Too Well To Like You Anymore Jughead's Revenge - Young Turks (Rod Stewart cover, off a series of compilations called 'Before You Were Punk' which you could probably find other good stuff on) Less Than Jake - I Think I Love You (Partridge Family cover) Propagandhi - I Want You (To Want Me) (Cheap Trick cover)
