"I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker"
Song

"I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (with Flowers in My Hair)" is the debut single performed by Sandi Thom. The song is credited to Thom/Gilbert. EMI Music Publishing identifies Tom Gilbert as Ian Brown, Thom's manager. The song was originally released in October 2005 by Viking Legacy records, reaching #55 in the UK singles chart. It was re-released in May 2006 on Sony's RCA label.

Although only released physically on 22 May, download sales the week before are counted for the purpose of charts, and it achieved #15 on this basis in the general charts (and #7 in the download-only chart). The physical release had three formats: two CD versions (one featuring the radio mix and "A Light As Bright As Ours", another featuring the radio mix, the album mix, a further remix, "May You Never" and the video), and also as a 7" vinyl record backed with Stranglers cover "No More Heroes". The song has been playlisted on BBC Radio 2, Virgin Radio and Capital Radio.

The single sold 39,797 copies in the week ending 4 June 2006, enough to reach #1, knocking Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" off the top spot after it was deleted following a nine week run.
