"Wang Dang Sweet Poontang" is a hard rock song written and performed by Ted Nugent. It was first released in 1977 on the Epic album Cat Scratch Fever and as the B-side of the Epic single, Cat Scratch Fever. The song was produced by Lew Futterman and Cliff Davies.[1] An extended live version of the song was released in 1978 on the Double Live Gonzo! album. The song has also been covered by various artists, including a 2020 cover by heavy metal supergroup BPMD.
The song's title is a rhyming and unsubtle reference to the male and female genitalia.[2][3] The lyrics pay tribute to "a teenage queen" named Nadine who is "lookin' so clean, especially down in between."[4][5]
As Nugent became active in conservative politics in his later years, the song's sexually explicit content drew attention in news and satire publications.
