"I Wanna Be Your Dog" is a song by American rock band the Stooges, released as the group's debut single from the band's 1969 self-titled debut album. The riff is composed of only three chords (G, F♯ and E), is played continuously throughout the song (excepting two brief 4-bar bridges). The 3-minute-and-9-second-long song, with its distortion-heavy guitar intro, single-note piano riff played by producer John Cale of the Velvet Underground, and steady, driving beat, gave the cutting edge of the early heavy metal and punk sound.
In 2004, the song was ranked number 438 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time", but it was dropped to number 445 on its 2010 revision, then was re-ranked at number 314 on its 2021 list. Pitchfork Media placed it at number 16 on its list of "The 200 Greatest Songs of the 1960s".
Spanish female punk band Las Vulpes covered the song in 1983 with lyrics in Spanish. The song's title, "Me gusta ser una zorra", translates to English as "I like being a whore". They performed the song on the Spanish national state television broadcaster on a Saturday at noon in April 1983, causing a stir for the explicit and harsh lyrics.
