FROM THE LINER NOTES OF "YOU'LL HATE THIS RECORD":
With the exception of the very different GG ALLIN, no band on this album has gotten more bad reviews than TINA PEEL.
Basically there are two reasons:
First, the band is not faddish. They play pop music in a time when you are only "allowed" to sound like Donna Sommers, Van Halen or Black Flag. Second, they sing about sex.
Since the "straight edge" movement began in D.C., sex has been taboo even for punks. If you sing about it at all, you have to hate it.
Sly innuendo is allowed in disco songs - But to be blatant and funny?
Unless you're Frank Zappa, never!
And look at Frank Zappa! About as hip as penny loafers.
The two songs on this album, WANG IT! and EXCEPTION TO THE RULER are about penises, taken from a TINA PEEL limited edition cassette, "EXTRA KICKS." There are three other songs about penises on the cassette.
Even SCREW magazine hated them, saying:
"These guys are far more interested in their cocks than they have any right to expect the rest of us to be."
Here's what other magazines had to say:
NEW YORK ROCKER: "Horrid thin power pop - the kind that gave it a bad name in '78."
UNICORN TIMES: "Silly floozy."
DESCENES: "The banality of the group's songwriting belie(s) any "teen appeal" the group might want to suggest (unless by "teens" the group means those adolescent slopeheads who go for Aerosmith and Bad Company. As humourless as they are obvious."
And my favorite from ZIG ZAG magazine:
"An atrocious piece of crap played with minimal musical skill and sung with the conviction of a deaf mute."
Originally done by NY's Miamis, and donated to Tina Peel.
Released on 1979's cassette only release, "Extra Kicks."
Remastered in 2021.

WANG IT
(Wyndbrandt/Wyndbrandt)
1-2-3-4
Aw, wang it! Hang it!
You gotta make it stop on a dime
Wang it! Hang it!
You're driving' me right out of my mind
Slam it! Jam it!
You musta gone to some kinda school
Thank you! Thank you!
For teaching' me the golden rule
Love it! Shove it!
baby you know what I like
I love it when you shove it
You'll make some guy a wonderful wife
Bite it! Don't fight it!
I could stay like this the rest of my life
Stroke it! Poke it!
Baby, let's do it tonight
Ooh baby, give me some more
This is the night I've been waiting for
Take it! Shake it!
You give me all your loving' and I'm on my way to heaven
Shake it! Bake it!
You're treating' me like I was a king
Shake it! Break it!
You make me feel such wonderful things
Root it! Toot it!
Guide it to the island of love
Wang it! Hang it!
You gotta give me more of your love
Ooh baby, give me some more
This is the night I've been waiting for
Back it! Hack it!
Ride it! Slide it!
Guide it to the island of love
Guide it to the island of love
Guide it to the island of love
Guide it to the island of love
Guide it to the island of love
