Das Fürlines (sometimes spelled Das Fürleins) were an all-female punk-polka band that emerged from New York's Lower East Side in the mid-1980s. Though the band released a few songs on underground polka and holiday music compilations, Das Fürlines did not release any records of their own, opting instead to publish a cookbook. The band's tribute to German culture and music extended to include many songs by 1960s proto-punk group The Monks.
