"Attitude" is a very short, raw, and aggressive punk rock blast by the Misfits. Written by frontman Glenn Danzig, the song was originally recorded in the band's first major studio session in 1978 for the planned Static Age album, which was not released in its entirety until 1996. However, it saw its first public release as the B-side to the band's 1978 "Bullet" single. Musically, "Attitude" clocks in at just over a minute and is a prime example of the band's early, furious hardcore punk sound. It's fast, stripped-down, and marked by a driving, almost surf-rock-tinged drum beat and Jerry Only's heavy, distinctive bass lines. Danzig's vocals are delivered in an angry, melodic snarl, perfectly fitting the song's confrontational theme. Lyrically, the song is straightforward, confrontational, and non-horror-themed, distinguishing it from many of the band's other tracks. It's essentially a hostile threat directed at a person with a "fucking attitude," culminating in the repeated refrain: "Attitude! / I've got something to say to you! / Attitude! / Attitude! / I'm gonna beat you in the face!" This direct, intense message of defiance and violence solidified its status as an iconic punk anthem, and it remains one of the most celebrated songs from the Danzig era of the Misfits. It was also famously covered by the band Guns N' Roses in 1993.
