Sandi Thom - I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker

[xBethxRockzx]

Lyrics are fucking genius. Can't believe Lily Allen dissed this :/

[Taiizoow]

0h I wish I was a Punckrocker with flowers in my hair ! ❀

[kingofthecities]

I'm pretty sure she's just saying she wants the best of being both a punk and a hippie. Not that she doesn't understand what a punk is.

[boogs2007]

After all these years I still wish that I was a prawn cracker,

[ndinounette76]

I was 13 but I still love it !! I completly understand her !

[paytenc98]

its 2011 and im still i listing to this one hit wonder

[rob18767]

Daft song though. Punk was the anthesis of the hippies as much it was of the establishment.

[twilightforevr15]

this is a really good song, love it already :)

[chibi6318]

my show choir is singing this song for competition this year. im so excitd!

[auBatgnauL]

@chibi6318 Godd choice. I just listened to it and thought, sung by a good choir this would be sooo awesome:)

Not that it isnt great anyway:)

[thisisdeadboy]

would someone please find this bitch and slap her around? She has no idea what punk is about

[JohnZackarias]

Why would you want to live in 69 or 77?

Things were way worse back then than they are now.

[Anamamma1]

Agree whit Imc100

[NadjaBlirup]

I remember listening to this when i was about 9.

- My fav. song of that year!

[tardaboveall491a]

i like this. It's great, if you don't like it, well, i don't care

[TheOyama666]

The very first times I heard this song, which is really good, I thought it was a black woman singing this. Until now, when I see her in the video.

[InnocentDevilVEVO]

Oh I wish I lived in 77' and 69' :) <3

[nicolek6305]

man this song brings back memories form being in interemdiate the pricipal at the time stated the bigging of the song and wanted us to sing the rest

[mbroady123]

God what a boring song. Thumbs up if you like people who just incessantly name things that used to happen but don't anymore. Deep.

[Nazragoful]

Dunno 'bout you guys ... but this song wants me to build the time machine and go back in time... God i want to listen Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Ac/Dc when they were young, in a concert surrounded by crazy people with long hair !

[madsboi]

@Nazragoful Well you can still do that and would it be eaiser just going to a black sabbath concert instead of going to both ozzy and BS

[bethanheartsyou]

I Lovee Thiss Songg<3

[gustagisla]

Ninety sec... listen to the whole context of the text, not just the punchline...

"when playing games meant kick around, when the media couldnt buy your soul and the superinfo highway was still drifting in space"

thats something you cant get today even if u are a punk, hippie or whatever

[gustagisla]

[TheNinetySecond]

Come to think of it, this is utter bullshit. Being born in the wrong era has never stopped any of my friends from being punks, skins, stoners or hippies.

[dylangauci1993]

@TheNinetySecond

Its was just a different era. Life was much more simple and working hard will actually pay off. Every era has its pro's and con's but I personally think that the 60's, 70's and 80's were the best. Music was too good back then.

[TheNinetySecond]

@dylangauci1993 I know it was a better time, when political battles actually paid off, with better ideas and growth, but the song is about how the times today limits us, and I just don't think our time is limiting us more than we are.

[NIDI0T]

careface

[yojoe71]

haha i love how they show the guitarist and you cant her it

[fittstege]

if u watch closely every steps she takes is refered to the song like when she sings, when counter didnt have controll there was a counter with many people waited for trading money , and when she sing when the head of state did not played guitar

[fittstege]

the lyrics makes the song ...

[Helikopterpop]

she sucks ass

[worriaofdeath666]

i really like this song i could just keep listening two this me

[FakeName071]

i was born to late to a world that doesn't kill...

[gurkarne]

I wish the same!

[ItsCallum]

if she was a punk rocker with flowers in her hair then she would be in a better year...

[16metres]

henry rollins should clear things up for her

[bally224]

All the people who comment about punks not having flowers in their hair have no idea about the context of the song . The idea punks wear leathers , ripped jeans , dockers , chains , studs ,dye their hair , boot braces and the rest of the uniform is what destroyed the movement , punk was about being what you wanted to be and not what everybody expected you to be .

[TheSarahSonja]

@bally224 - so true! Thanks! :D <3

[ladiesloveben]

If she was a punk rocker with flowers in her hair she'd get the shit kicked out of her by other punk rockers, for having flowers in her hair

[little0boots]

@ladiesloveben well done for lifting a quote from wikipedia

[mskero94]

i want live in 20 century...

i need time machine, NOW !

[smilemore71]

Story. Of. My. Life.

[TheSweGrekGirl]

the poster in the background....

[allanz00]

I don't remember Punk Rockers having "Flowers" in their hair. .

[cryssun]

@allanz00 Whenever I hear the song...that's my exact thought :))

[enigeto]

this song is to short

[jojjaboom]

10 people are punk rockers with thorns in their hair

[mrcrs10]

@jojjaboom make that 11

[RJ121999]

LIP SYNC IS OUT

[JoiiLife]

TRUE, TRUE!

[Aimzinian]

i wish i was a prawn cracker too.

[smotanaanchy]

wish??? why wish..if you can be a punk-rocker whit flowers in your hair...:) I am...

280 people love this song... you will not be alone...

greetings from Croatian!

[kleinbloempjuh]

I remember this song! OMG, I was 13 or 14 when this first came out! haha

[kklant]

@kleinbloempjuh how old are you, now ?

[kleinbloempjuh]

@kklant 18, Okay I was 12 then.. :)

It was released in 2005 right?

[kklant]

@kleinbloempjuh no in june 2006

[kleinbloempjuh]

@kklant Ow okay, do the math! :)

[SomeCrazyShit1]

lmao wats with the billboard of the old naked couple ? o:11 and the kid dribbling the football and fail with the toilet paper

[ClaireBFC]

i always remembered this song with an actual tune, not a drum beat.

or maybe i dreamt it :/

LOVE THIS SONG.

[lausannestrain]

"nevermind the balance" on the mailbox at the start of the video

[spidermelus]

EsadMujezinovic YOU SUCK!

[EsadMujezinovic]

@spidermelus

no u... my guud sir :D

[EsadMujezinovic]

... Punk Rockers had flowers in their hair back then ? >_> glad i was born in "these" days, instead of those xD

[dunderelina]

@EsadMujezinovic  u don't know anything stupid

[EsadMujezinovic]

@dunderelina

I agree with you ^__^

( Comma... It's kinda important )

[madhat1979]

Die you hippie scum die!!

:P

[poutybean]

when vinyl was all they stocked! Damn you mp3!!

[anarchysham1]

i never seen a punk with flowers in there hair:L

[nothinggrinner]

@anarchysham1 you aint seen a good varity of punks, lol but i get your point, pink was anti hippy, but i have seen plenty of punks with flowers in there hair.

[MikeTheMaster01]

a time of racism and prejudice, :)))))

[bounty031]

At the end the stark naked guy too much make me laugh!!! XD

[TheBennybumcheek]

This is a catchy pop song and she has a beautiful voice. But I don't agree with the message. It's APATHETIC!

Revolution is still in the air and you can still find wonderful beautiful people in every town in every country that truly care. They're waiting to meet you... Get out there!!!! try woofing (wwoof*org) or join your local conservation group or help out with a 350*org action in your local area.

[nothinggrinner]

@TheBennybumcheek totally agree, its apathetic and regressive, i dont hate the song, but i think the lyrics should be tweeked to be more positve!

[Jan9902]

oh please , it is an old song! and was good and poignant for those that were there

Don't need conservation, palm oil is in most products and destroys the orangutans space, what are you doing for that?

[eliza038]

...when radio was king!

[asernr1]

I wish I was a punk rocker too..

[xoxShadowGirl]

everyone used to sing this in schooL!

[Caitlin62]

lol @ 0:10

[mluzcg]

me encanta! =)

[badburns1992]

ide do her

[dagavaq1]

hey check out my songs

[badburns1992]

erm no im not going to do that

[greatpitbull]

what genre of music is this

[dextarhaker]

death metal

[MrBreakdown999]

she does want to be a punk rocker..... who doesnt?

[lmc100]

Punk rocker refers to 77

Flowers in my hair refers to 69. (Hippies and stuff)

She talking about different things, but mixing them. So:

"Punk rocker with flowers in my hair" Doesn't LITERALLY mean what it says.

Also, I don't think she actually wants to be a punk rocker, she just thinks that in 77 and 69 the world was a better place in her opinion.

[andraz133]

yes and she sucks

[lmc100]

Awesome reply. Really.

[MsVovven]

@lmc100 she sings what makes makes her rich she doesnt give shit about flowers

[lmc100]

@MsVovven ...k.

[tylersaxby]

that was a streaker and a little girl was right there, i wonder what she was thinking...

[SELK97]

i love the song even if it is old the only thing that reminded me of it was my sister singing it today

[DannyH20091]

This song is very old but i love it cos it brings back my memories of primary skoool cause i sung this with my mates in a talent show lol good day :) but i aint no grunger shit im just a gee

[Tarronjenkinson]

@DannyH20091 OMFG SAME: although im ashamed to say , i sang it in a talent showw aswwell:L

[Swe3tStrawberry]

this song is old but i still love this song!

[ENNTEERZ]

You never be a punk rocker

Fuck You pop bitch!

[adahpfan]

i love this song!! my favourite song!! :-D

[lgarc657]

this bitch will never make it as a punkrocker!!!!

[mcrm0nkey]

there are diffrent styles of punk and rock its not all head bagin mohken hair 4 god sake!

[asdfghj56785678]

what does (( punk rocker )) even means ??

i looked for it in my language dictionary but i didn`t find it ..

i guess it`s a word that only native english speakers know what it means .. right ??

[THESUPERBLACKANGEL]

hya its lik theres diffrent forms of rock lik punk rock, hevey rock, soft rock etc loads of diffrent tipes and no im from england born here kk

[CosmoDark14]

punk is a subgenre of rock.

the person who sings punk is called a punk rocker,or punker.

do u get it now?

[MissLiz3]

anyone think maybe she was meaning a punk rocker AND a hippe type ? Like both a rock and roll with peace ? Stop jumping to conclusions and enjoy the song. I'm sure they wouldn't let this song be published if the lyrics were THAT obvious on how wrong they were.

Lovethissong♥

[gcmuzikgirl]

Actually in those times punkrockers where quite the same than hippies. Just the same.

This song is absolutely great.

[grubitsch]

god u think this dumb bitch would at least try to know somthing bout the shit shes signing, SKINHEADS HAD '69!! and i completly aggree with the dudes comment below me

[darylince]

i have to say this song irritates me it was hippies that had flowers in their hair not fucking punks and it was also hippies that started a revoloution dumb fucking lyrics

[xkadie999x]

jeez the lyrics say punkROCKER not punk xx

there are these things on the side of your head! they're called ears - USE THEM!!!

[France1106]

[adyboss10]

[FelineWraithKuro]

[billy0billy987]

i was born too late in to a world that doesn't care....

[EmoOrJustBroken]

Local hero REPPIN TOOTING!! <3

[oOangelpunkOo]

i think she wants to say that she wants to be a child of the revolution like the punk rockers and hippies were

[boredpositive]

thank god i was starting to think that nobody payed attention to the lyrics past the punk rocker hippie part

[Ordulu52Osman]

i dont know that punkrockers had flowers in their hair. ;)

i thoguth hippies had flowers in their hair, or?

[adyboss10]

Probabily she ment she wished to be a hippy punk rocker :) a combination...

[MileySux90210]

Gawd this song rules

[Daniel4lifeogenAnd]

' is sing this song better then she does : D

[zazaspongebob]

AND SANDI THOMS IS PRETTY.

[zazaspongebob]

[Gojirobe]

"and we didn't know everything". Like we do now, or what?! :)

[TheDevilWearsWabbit]

[893524567]

[DanielTopps]

Pirate Bay ;-)

[Joghurtfreund]

"punk rock girl" would fit better instead of "punk rock-er", nice song anyways. Lyrics aber kinda dumb, though.

[MizzxBlonde]

luv this song it brill n not at all hard to sing

[bob080189]

its prawn cracker

[toohotscorpio]

ridiculous song

all she has to do is dye her hair green, wear some bondage trousers and Doc Martens, and as for people dont care now then why do punks still get shit for looking as they do

[wildbaby31]

You have missed the essential part of the song. Time changes everything, we are no longer living in a world of innocence, but in one where technology controls everything. If you listen to its lyrics, you will see how simple they are, to suggest these changes. She could have said that she wants to be anything/anyone that characterises that age...

[Rylani]

This song, is great, simple and tells a true tale

[xxlaurapiscoolxx]

this is mi fave song eva!

its amazing!:-)x

[04brewsterj]

What a big tune boss

[heLLoBABY667]

love this song...its so true though! and its a bit sad...

x

[izzardfan]

great song, thanks for uploading!!

[babawale]

I love this song,

That is all.

[Fusselche]

sunshine song <3

[cmw556]

This song reminds me of when I was in hospital. For the ten days I was in there I used to wait for this song to play on radio and every day this song used to play. It really kept me going. Because of that this is the most meaningful song to me. Me and my sister used to sing it when she was driving me home from uni.

[millimallinson]

I love this song. It reminds me of me and all my dads sides of the family. LOL all us kids runnin around playin footy, or jumping on the trampoline., or playing armeys in the bakyard, all a bunch of rat-bgas

[shorefield6serri]

(:

This song makes sooo much sense..

Love it, her voice is amazing

[rafylascraty]

i love this song !!!

[maari11x]

awesome song.

(:

[LilMizzKazza]

hmmmm r u sure "/ lol

[ivankurac3]

I want to marry her!

[LilMizzKazza]

omfg stop being sadd and reading to much into it! its a SONG its a good song and thats all that matters! not the blooming time zones! and tbh how sad r u to actually waste time looking it up!

[TimesOfPeace]

well some songs get into your soul :D

I love these songs that touch my heart^^<33

[heatherthefriendsfan]

do u think she realises that punk rockers didnt wear flowers in the hair? haha, but good song though :)

[hkhan83]

punk rockers and hippies were "the thing" of 60's and 70's so she is not saying that she was a punk rocker and had flower in her hair....she is tying to give the audience a taste of 60's and 70's

[nially6]

thats true but it doesnt mean that she isnt alowed

[danielryan89]

She is FIT!!!!

[xxH4Y13Yxx]

Love it !

loved it when it was out aswell.

only one out of my friends!

amazing song <3

[Stainymor]

lyrics is spot on! GREAT!
