Billy Idol - Rebel Yell 1983
"Rebel Yell" is a song by English-American rock musician Billy Idol. It is the title track of his second studio album, and was released as the lead single in October 1983. Although it charted outside the UK Top 40, a 1985 re-issue peaked at number 6, and it reached number 46 in the US. The song received wide critical acclaim and in 2009 was named the 79th best hard rock song of all time by VH1 based on a public vote. It appears in a cassette tape in the video game Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and can be heard during gameplay.
The song was co-written by guitarist Steve Stevens. The instrumental introduction, which sounds like a combination of electric guitar and electronic keyboard, is performed by Stevens on guitar alone, who intended it to sound this way. Stevens states that he was inspired by acoustic guitarist Leo Kottke's style.
"Rebel Yell" has been covered by many different bands such as Children of Bodom, HIM, Drowning Pool, Dope, Black Veil Brides, Adrenaline Mob, Bullets and Octane, Otherwise, Blue Stahli, and Queensrÿche.
"Rebel Yell" received a total of 85,3% yes votes!

A portrait of two punk survivors! Apparently, this shot represents the first reunion between 65-year-old Siouxsie Sioux and 67-year-old Billy Idol – two original members of the early Sex Pistols fanatics dubbed “The Bromley Contingent” – in 32 years. Two words: Punk. Royalty! This was taken in Los Angeles, where Sioux is due to perform in the Cruel World festival. Via the Louderthanwar website.

Friends, as a massive new wave fan, I have developed a theory: Every new wave song is somewhere between punk, goth, and disco.
My proof:
