Swedish electronic outfit Teddybears wrote "Punkrocker" and first put it out on their 2000 album Rock 'n' Roll Highschool, but the version that traveled was the 2006 re-recording that handed the mic to Iggy Pop. The American singer took over lead vocals and sang a partly rewritten lyric, and of all the versions out there, that take became the best known around the world.
It kept finding new homes after that. A Cadillac ad campaign picked it up in 2007, and in 2025 it played over the final moments and closing credits of the film Superman.
