who sang i wish i was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair) "I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair)" is the dÃ©but single by Scottish singer-songwriter Sandi Thom. The song was written by Thom and Tom Gilbert.
I Wish (Skee-Lo song) The song's lyrics are self-deprecating, with Skee-Lo lamenting a variety of personal shortcomings that he says are to blame for his unsuccessful love life. He wishes he were of taller stature ("like 6'9") and a basketball player ("a baller"). He wishes for a better car, specifically a '64 Impala, instead of his 1974 Ford Pinto with "an 8-Track and a spare tire in the backseat, but that's flat!" The lyrics also mention the Los Angeles neighborhood of Crenshaw, and a signpost featuring the street name appears in the background of the music video.
