Blink-182 Pays Homage to Punk Icons The Ramones in New 'Dance with Me' Music Video

Blink-182 is paying homage to one of the punk bands who came before them. 

On Thursday, the pop-punk icons shared the music video for their latest One More Time single “Dance with Me,” in which they play rock legends The Ramones and recreate several famed moments from their career. 

In the video for the riotous rock song, the band featuring drummer Travis Barker, guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge and bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus are styled in leather jackets and don wigs in the long, shaggy style of the punks’ memorable looks. Throughout the clip, they recreate the the “Sheena Is a Punk Rocker” band’s “I Wanna Be Sedated” music video and perform as them on a grimey stage resonant of CBGB, the New York City venue that they came up in during the ‘70s. 

At the start of the video, they even recreate their 1981 interview on the talk show The Tomorrow Show. As the lookalike host asks them, “What the hell is punk? And is it punk that I said ‘hell?'” Hoppus responds, “Punk is doing what you think is right on your own terms and not answering to anybody else and not letting people tell you how to live your life.”

According to a press release, the “Dance with Me” video is meant to “serve as a love letter to The Ramones,” who Blink-192 considers “one of their favorite” bands.

The song itself even feels like a callback to the “Blitzkrieg Bop” group, as the rockers exude a fierce, youthful exuberance singing about a whirlwind romance. 

“Tellin’ your friends, you know you want to (dance with me) / Shaking those hips like the devil’s got you (dance with me) / Waiting all night, cause now I want you (dance with me) / Eyeing that chance, here we go I got you (dance with me),” Hoppus repeats.

“Dance with Me” is the fourth song off Blink-182’s highly anticipated, upcoming album One More Time, which is due out Oct. 20 (via Columbia Records) and sees the core lineup of the band reunited for the first time since 2011. 

According to a press release, the alternative band’s ninth studio album, which is produced by Barker, 47, explores “themes of tragedy, triumph, and most importantly, brotherhood.”

The trio confirmed their reunion last year with the release of One More Time’s lead single “Edging” and by announcing a massive 2023 tour.

The emotional title track dropped in September and explores the challenges the rock group experienced, including the plane crash Barker survived and Hoppus’ lymphoma diagnosis, before officially reuniting with their original lineup in 2022.  

DeLonge, 47, previously exited Blink-182 in 2015 and was replaced by Alkaline Trio member Matt Skiba for a period in which he toured with the group and appeared on two of their records (2016’s California and 2019’s Nine). 

In August 2022, Hoppus, 51, spoke to PEOPLE about his journey becoming cancer free and collaborating with the original trio again. 

He said, “Everybody’s in a great place now.”

"It was the first time that all three of us were in the same room in like five years," the bassist and co-vocalist shared about the upcoming album. "It's actually better than it used to be. There was no agenda. There were no lingering grudges. It felt very back to what it should be: three friends sitting in a room."
