Ramones | Sheena is a Punk Rocker (1977)

"Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" is a song by American punk rock band Ramones, released in 1977 through Sire Records.

Written by front man and lead vocalist Joey Ramone it appears on the band's third studio album Rocket to Russia (1977). The song is well known for its early 1960s influence of surf rock and bubblegum pop that influenced Joey; it has since remained one of the band's most popular songs.


The song first appeared in May 1977 as a single in the UK where it charted at number 22 in the UK Singles Chart.[1][6] In the US, it was released as a single in July 1977, and reached number 81 in the Billboard Hot 100, and appeared on copies of the second issue of the band's 1977 album Leave Home (replacing the track "Carbona Not Glue").


The track, as well as its B-side "I Don't Care", was remixed and re-released for their third LP Rocket to Russia.
