Sheena is a Parasite was the debut single by the UK garage rock band The Horrors, released in April, 2006. The title and content was adapted from The Ramones single "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" as well as The Cramps' "Sheena's in a Goth Gang", and chronicles the demise of punk music and its cultural influence. The music video was directed by Chris Cunningham, starred Samantha Morton and was banned by MTV for its use of strobe lighting. The B-side is a Screaming Lord Sutch cover, however this version is more inspired by the cover done by The Gruesomes. It did not chart as it contained both stickers and inserts, therefore breaking chart rules.
