I'll take Dance, Dance, Dance over this but I wouldn't make any claim for it as the first punk song.

My all-time favourite song by anyone is The Kingsmen's "Louie Louie". Released in May 1963 (six months before "Surfin' Bird"), I initially ruled it out because it doesn't sound like punk but it definitely has the punk ethos of atmosphere before musicianship and studio perfection:

BEACH BOYS - DRIVE-IN - 1964

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjXwkd1MorY

Don't get fooled by the happy lyrics and shiny BG vocals... listen to the track, is pure punk! fast bare chords with their bass note swinging. It even has a punk "solo"!  LOL

First heard this gem a month or so ago. Could this have been the first encounter between pop (or rock, for those who insist on this term) and avant-garde, minimalist techniques?  Cool Guy

Can anyone tell the difference between punk & garage? Coz these songs are kind of both. Post the (obvious) example for punk & (obvious) example for garage.

I see I stumped you all with this question. THAT or you're bunch of dummies.

The term "punk" was first used (to my recollection) by rock critics like Lester Bangs to refer to Nuggets era garage rock, which was of course a big influence musically and aesthetically on the 70s punk movement.

You means stuff like "You're Gonna Miss Me" and "Psychotic Reaction"? Bangs dreamed up an entire career for one-hit wonders Count Five----it makes fascinating reading!

I wonder if the Human League consciously lifted that bass line for Keep Feeling Fascination.
