This was the first punk song to hit the pop charts. The name “Sheena” came from Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, who was kind of a female Tarzan character. It was a popular comic book and TV series in the ’40s and ’50s.

Tommy Ramone helped produce this track. He his credited on the album under his real name, Tommy Erdelyi.

While this was the first punk rock song to hit the Hot 100, it was not the first song on the chart with the word “Punk” in the title: Barry Mann made #78 in 1976 with “The Princess And The Punk,” a song that about mismatched lovers that was certainly not a punk rocker.
