少年ナイフ formed in Osaka, Japan in December 1981 with sisters Naoko Yamano (vocals and guitar) and Atsuko Yamano (drums) and their friend Michie Nakatani (vocals and bass). Michie Nakatani left the band in December 1999, with Atsuko Yamano performing bass. Mana Nishiura joined to take over on drums. Nishiura played her first live show with the band in May 2001; she left in 2004. (She was killed in a New Jersey highway accident November 4, 2005 while touring the U.S. with DMBQ.) Touring drummer Etsuko Nakanishi was inducted as a permanent member as of May 2006, but she left the band in 2010, to be replaced by Emi Morimoto. The band's touring bass player(for two years) Ritsuko Taneda had been promoted to full member in October 2008.
Many alternative rock groups have cited 少年ナイフ as a favorite of theirs, and the resulting word-of-mouth gained significant exposure for the band. In 1989, Gasatanka Records released a double-album tribute entitled Every Band Has a 少年ナイフ Who Loves Them, which features renditions of the group's songs by a number of contributing bands, including Redd Kross, Sonic Youth, L7, and Babes in Toyland (the latter band on non-CD formats only). The tribute album's success led to Shonen Knife's first American tour in 1990, and group later signed with Virgin Records in 1992.
The band have now played over 900 concerts and toured UK, Ireland, Europe, North America, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Australia, and even rocked in Tromso at the top of the world. Damnably released the Super Group, Free Time, Osaka Ramones and Pop Group albums and the band played a BBC 6 Music Radio Session for Marc Riley & Gideon Coe. The Band also played at Matt Groening’s curated ATP, the 'Summer Sundae' & 'Fun Fun Fun' festivals. Now in their 32nd the band show no signs of giving up and as Naoko says "Let's Rock."

Love it! Is it just me, or is the chorus very reminiscent of What Do I Get? by The Buzzcocks?
Nicholas Reynolds
And the verse, too, honestly. Especially on that arpeggio. L
Ghia Vitale
Shonen Knife rocks! 💖
MonkeymagicsMum
Loving the way she says 'scary'!
Eric made of tin
Yeah, they use pieces of other songs and Ramones guitar licks and such, but there's a fun playfulness and simple inventiveness to it all that still shines today. Remember these sings are 35 yrs old but they hold a timeless quality.
Ben van Gelderen
It's obviously about switching on the TV to see the "Time Warp" sequence of Rocky Horror for the first time
Ranaiaen
Sounds like a mixture of Ramones and Buzzcocks. Almost as if she is singing What Do I Get to a different set of words. Not that it's a bad thing ^.^
buster beam
+Ranaiaen they stole the first few notes from god save the queen lol
fun album but creativity ain't its forte
Absolute Terror
There are only so many notes and so many ways to arrange them that sound appealing, and even fewer that fit into the sound of a certain genre. Short simple sequences of notes and chords are repeated constantly all across the musical spectrum, and rarely is that down to theft. The Sex Pistols were almost certainly not the first to play those chords in that order, and I'm pretty sure they even "stole" it from themselves in other songs on that album.
Shonen Knife is extremely creative on this album and in general, guitar and drums is just not the focus of that creativity.
Samuel Simmons
Always thought the chorus is the same as What Do I Get and only just realised the verse is the same too.
