"Wild Child" is a single by American heavy metal band W.A.S.P. Written by Blackie Lawless and Chris Holmes, it serves as the intro track off their second studio album The Last Command and was released as the third single. The song charted at number 71 on the UK Singles Chart.
- Animal (Fuck Like A Beast) (1984) The track that kicked it all off, a sweaty, sticky, just-the-right-side-of-dubious 80s shock-rock classic. Despite that provocative subtitle, Lawless only drops the F-bomb twice in the whole song.
- I Wanna Be Somebody (1984) An exhilarating drum barrage introduces the track that kicks off WASP’s debut album. ‘ I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon,’ Lawless rasps, like the world’s most unlikely self-help guru.
- Blind In Texas (1985) On second album The Last Command the rough edges were smoothed out, although the fuck-you attitude remained. This uproarious pub crawl around the Lone Star State found our hero getting into it with a bunch of good ol’ boys who presumably didn’t very much like men whose arses hung out of their Spandex.
- Widowmaker (1985) WASP turn up the menace on this striking second-album deep cut: a lone bass rumbles, drums roll like thunderheads, and Lawless plays the part of a vengeful God-spirit wandering roaming desolate plains.
