The origin of this track comes from a late-1960’s incident aboard one of The Who’s many horrible plane flights. During some white-knuckle turbulence, Moon and a groupie escaped to the bathroom. Shortly after, Moon burst forth with the groupie’s bra wrapped over his head and announced, “I’ll save you! I’m Wasp Man!” In addition to writing this song, Moon also bought a wasp costume and wore it whenever the mood struck him.
“Wasp Man” was the b-side of “Relay” released 25 Nov. 1972. CD releases were on Polydor’s Rarities 1966-1972 Vol. 1 & Rarities 1966-1972 Vol. 2 and MCA’s Two’s Missing. Both are out of print. (info by Brian Cady @ thewho.net)
