Interesting facts and trivia about Wang Dang Sweet Poontang. By Songfacts®.

Not much mystery to this one: Wang dang, what a sweet poontang a shakin' my thang as a rang-a-dang-dang in the bell Many rockers (we're talking to you, AC/DC) look to sex, drugs and rock & roll for subject matter in their songs. Nugent doesn't drink or do drugs, so fornication is over-represented in his work. "The inspiration was at a concert," he told Songfacts. "I love the smiles and the fists and the energy, the hallelujah. But you ask any musician, and when the girls are dancing and shaking, those licks have a life of their own and you celebrate it in lyrical form."

Nugent has some songs where he takes on issues like gun rights ("Stormtroopin'") and preservation of nature ("Great White Buffalo"), and while he hopes that listeners will absorb the meaning in those, he gets that this song is just for fun. "That's great if you want to screw a lot, which everybody should, but I don't really think it's a major force in the moulding of the consciousness of the young people of America," he told NME regarding the song.

The "Nadine" in this song (the "teenage queen") isn't based on a real person. "It's just a clever cadence," he said in his Songfacts interview. "Just good syllables. I know some Nadines, but instead of a Nadine I might have known, it's probably the Chuck Berry song 'Nadine.' It was in my musical arsenal."
