"Bitchin' Camaro" is a song by American rock band the Dead Milkmen, released on their debut album Big Lizard in My Backyard (1985). The song was written by vocalist Rodney Linderman, guitarist and vocalist Joseph Genaro, bassist Dave Schulthise, and drummer Dean Sabatino. The track contains an extended, rambling intro of two characters having a conversation, after which the song shifts into a hardcore punk song about the bitchin' Chevrolet Camaro.

Though not a single, the song was the band's first to achieve popularity and airplay on college radio stations in the U.S. It is considered one of the band's best-known songs, alongside their later 1988 hit "Punk Rock Girl".[1]
