About

July, 03rd 2014
"Cherry Bomb" by The Runaways is a rebellious and energetic anthem that capptures the essence of teenage rebellion and the desire for freedom and self-expression. The song, with its raw energy and straightforward lyrics, serves as a bold statement against conformity and societal expectations, particularly those placed upon young women.

The opening lines, "Can't stay at home, can't stay at school / Old folks say, ya poor little fool," immdiately set the tone of defiance. The protagonist is portrayed as someone who doesn't fit into the traditional structures of home and school, and is misunderstood by the older generation. This reflects the classic teenage struggle against authority and the quest for individuality.

The chorus, "Hello Daddy, hello Mom / I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb," is an assertive declaration of the protagonist's identity, symbolized by the term "cherry bomb" - a metaphor for something or someone who is vibrant, explosive, and cannot be ignored. It's a direct address to the parents, challenging their perceptions and asserting her own powerful presence.

The lines "Stone age love and strange sounds too / Come on baby let me get to you" suggest a breaking away from old-fashioned notions of love and attraction, embracing a more liberated and possibly unconventional approach.

The verse "Hey street boy, what's your style / Your dead end dreams don't make you smile" speaks to a sense of solidarity with others who feel disenfranchised or disillusioned. It's an invitation to join in this new, liberating movement, breaking free from societal constraints and expectations.

Overall, "Cherry Bomb" is a celebration of youth, independence, and nonconformity. It's a call to challenge the status quo and embrace one's true self, regardless of societal expectations or norms. The song resonated with many young listeners upon its release and continues to be an anthem for those who feel marginalized or misunderstood.

The Runaways with Cherry Bomb have the 2:20 of total length. Punk band of that time, at current standards, is already a little outdated, because a protest against the parents, expressed in song, moved to the side of the tears-cry-out films with teenagers who are misunderstood and lonely in the big world. Punk also changed direction and now this song, most considered not as punk but as a garage rock. Nevertheless, it’s qualitatively and listenable.
