The
album has been known under three different names; the spine of the
original European vinyl release had Winged Assassins printed on it,
while early cassette releases of the album had the name of the album's
first track, "I Wanna Be Somebody", printed in bold letters on the
cover. The album is officially entitled simply W.A.S.P., which it is
typically referred to as.
Prior to its original release, the
controversial track "Animal (Fuck Like a Beast)" was deleted from the
album. The Parents Music Resource Center had labeled the song as one of
its "Filthy 15", songs that the group determined to be morally
objectionable. Capitol Records subsequently bowed to pressure and pulled
the song. The band released it as a single in the UK in 1984 on the
indie label Music for Nations, and the single subsequently became a
highly sought after item in North America as an import. The 1998 reissue
features the originally intended track list with the song reinstated.
The
song "I Wanna Be Somebody", released as the album's second single with
accompanying music video, was so popular that VH1 later placed it in
their list of the "Top 100 Hard Rock Songs" of all time. "L.O.V.E.
Machine" dates back to Lawless' pre-W.A.S.P. band Circus Circus, who
frequently played the song live but never recorded it.
Several of the
album's songs have been covered by other bands. "Sleeping (In the
Fire)" has been covered by Tiamat and Anders Manga, "Hellion" by
Children of Bodom and In Aeternum, "L.O.V.E. Machine" by Fallen Man,
Lullacry, Fozzy and Alghazanth, "I Wanna Be Somebody" by Sentenced,
Catamenia, Witchery, Avulsed and Gates of Ishtar, and "The Torture Never
Stops" by the death metal group Torture Division.
The song "Tormentor" was heard in the films The Dungeonmaster (1984) and TerrorVision (1986).
