"fun" punk

[wicked_child]

can you recommend punk songs that are "fun"? i dont mean fun to play. what i mean is that riff or vibe that will make you smile. this is a good example:

 

[steveinohio]

Groovie Ghoulies, Secretions, Squirtgun, Screeching Weasel, Give-Ups, the list goes on and on.

 

[steveinohio]

Teen Idols, The Retreads, Beatnik Termites, tons and tons more...

the riff makes me smile because i love to rip **** up with it..but not a happy song

 

[wicked_child]

thanks! keep those suggestions comming. That johnny thunder's tune is awesome!

 

[HailCorduroy]

I may be a little biased since I wrote the riff (our guitarist plays it better), but this one always puts a smile on my face

[TortillaChip520]

Anything by Reel Big Fish (it's ska, however), or Rancid.

Edit: But to fit in I'd suggest:

Which song? It's definitely not the most original thing ever, but I certainly didn't consciously copy another song.

 

[santucci218]

copies is the wrong word, but here it is, same interval, same rhythm...

the two songs have totally different feel, i just found it funny buddy.
