Punk Rock Picnic is an obscurely-named song by One Buck Short, written by Mooky during his rebellious teenage days. The song seems to go on about the singer (Mooky) frustrated and takes a walk to clear his head, but by the time he comes back, his mother is angry with him, we do not know what this is, so the listener gives sympathy and understanding to the singer, eventually after his mother yells at him for a while while the singer does not pay attention, so she smacks him in the face to get his attention, from then on the singer starts listening. We do not know exactly what the mother is angry about, but the chorus of the song tells us she says:
Your life's like a Punk Rock Picnic! Waiting for chance to, Always untuned and thirsty, Can't see what's right for you!
The specific meaning of this is unclear, but it does say that the mother is angry at his disorganization, unresponsibility and may have either ridiculous ambitions or none.
The song is typical of One Buck Short, but unique to the band also. The song contains typical Pop Punk instruments and plenty of work for the guitarist and drummer. The guitar line changes several times in the song, similar to the way Mr Brightside was played. At the beginning of the song, there is a small clip of a police scanner, this may be pointless but may also mean the police is after Mooky implying he may have done something illegal to set off his mother. Another clip of police scanner is at the end of the song.
