Ornamental Wigwam. They received positive responses from audiences, who suggested they share it with their main band, though it took them several years to do so. Composition "Punk Rock Girl" has alternately been described as a pop punk and comedy rock song. The story of the song is penned from the perspective of a character who is not interested in punk rock music, only a punk rock girlfriend. Genaro describes the protagonist as a "middle of the road" kid who just wants to "walk on the wild side". In the song, the narrator meets the titular girl one Saturday evening, and launches "into a series of boredom-avoiding, punk-themed adventures with her". The song references several locations from the band's hometown of Philadelphia: the couple meet at Zipperhead, a legendary counterculture clothing store in the city. From there, they venture to the Philadelphia Pizza Company, a real-life pizza shop open at the time of the song's release. When the waitress explains they only serve iced tea over hot tea, the duo hop onto the table and rebel, crying out "anarchy". Steve Huey of AllMusic observes that Genaro's vocals are often "spoken-more-than-sung, stream-of-consciousness lyrical rants". The song also makes reference to psychobilly musician Mojo Nixon, whose albums the couple search for a record store, to no avail. It also mentions the rock band the Beach Boys. Their cover of "California Dreamin", which the song references, was released in 1986. Genaro's concept was that the protagonist of the song–a sheltered, conservative kid–might not know the original version and mistake the Beach Boys' cover for the original. As the song progresses, the listener discovers the punk-rock girlfriend has stolen a cassette tape and may possibly be the daughter of the Vice President of the United States (at the time of the single's popularity, Dan Quayle). The song concludes with the quartet finding increasingly creative ways to rhyme words with "girl", including "Duke of Earl", "Minnie Pearl", and "fudge banana swirl". Recording and production Eventually, the song was recorded for the band's fourth album, Beelzebubba (1988). It was produced by friend Brian Beattie, and recorded at Arlyn Studios in Austin, Texas. The group had forged a friendship with the producer over the years, having hosted each other when performing in the band's hometown of Philadelphia, and in Texas, where Beattie resided. They had previously worked with the producer on their last album, Bucky Fellini (1987).
