"'''A Punk Named Josh'''" is the third single from the debut album by [[Chopper One]]. Though the song did not initially appear on ''[[Now Playing]]'', it was included on the Japanese version of the album, and appeared as the fifth track (in place of the song "[[Mary's Clothes]]") when the album was reissued in [[1998]] as simply ''Chopper One''. | |||
