10 Worst Hard Rock Lyrics Of The 1970s
2. Wang Dang Sweet Poontang - Ted Nugent
Worst Offender: "That Nadine, what a teenage queen She lookin' so clean, especi'lly down in between."
Ted Nugent is an artist that should be best left in the '70s. For as much as he has infiltrated the media over the years, the amount of uncomfortable things he has said makes him look like your crazy uncle going on a tirade in the middle of the family barbecue. Though he does have his fair share of classic licks, "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang" is where the lyrics start getting unforgivable.
Like most rock tunes of the time, this song is once again about sex, but the idea of naming your sex jam song this is one of the most unflattering things you could have done. Instead of making this song sound fun, the entire lyric sheet sounds desperate and borderline threatening the more you think about it. The guitar solos on the track are still amazing, but when Ted opens his mouth, the entire song seems to fall apart.
It's actually fairly apt when the song ends on the phrase "What the hell?," echoing the thoughts of every single person who has had the displeasure of listening to this song. Rock will most likely never run out of songs about sex, but this is the kind of sex jam coming from the mind of a perv eyeing random girls at the end of the bar.
