"I Wanna Be Your Dog" is the debut single by the American rock band the Stooges. The song is included on their 1969 self-titled debut album. Its memorable riff, 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 raucous, distortion-heavy guitar intro, pounding, single-note piano riff played by producer John Cale of the Velvet Underground, and steady, driving beat, established the Stooges at the cutting edge of the heavy metal and punk sound.[4]
In 2004, the song was ranked number 438 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[5] Pitchfork Media placed it at number 16 on its list of "The 200 Greatest Songs of the 1960s".[6]
