Sitting here with the biggest smile. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Wig Wam Bam - an early hit and part of their progression from bubblegum/glam to a heavier sound. Written by their puppet masters Chinn/Chapman. Again - very early single. Turn it Down was banned by the BBC because it had the lyric "For God's Sake" in it. They really could rock with the best of them.
Thank you Sarah mae for playing this classic as I said in one of my other comments this is the song that got me in to Listerning to sweet wowsa all these classic songs by sweet sound as good today as they did back in the wonderful magical seventies
Wig Wan Bam is a rocked-up version of Henry Longfellow's 1855 Hiawatha story. Written by Glam Rock architects Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, the song was described in Bomp magazine as "a monument to ultracommercial rock & roll triviality😂 "Turn It Down" was banned by the BBC due to its subject nature, and because it contained the words "for God's sake".
Great Choices Rod Yes Wig Wam Bam is more Glam and danceable Turn it down is really Turn it up I'm so happy you have been introduced to The Sweet and even happier with our friendship we have 😀 Love from Downunder x
What the song is about, is easyer than you think: A Wig Bam is a sort of tent, where the red indians used to live in. A "Bang" is nothing but we nowedays would call with a "F"-word; you know what I mean. So the song ist about nothing else than a red woman, who was not enough respected by her husband, so that she invited a white guest into her Wigwam. For a "bang". That easy it is!
Love, love, love, love Sweet!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!
