"The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)" is a 1971 song by The Doors, which appears on their final album with frontman Jim Morrison, L.A. Woman. The music was written by Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger. The spoken word lyrics, written by Morrison, come from a poem he wrote in 1968, three years before the music was written. These lyrics were published in a Doors souvenir book. It has gained considerable fame over the years and has been featured on several Doors compilation CDs.
Inspiration
Texas Radio refers to high power Mexican radio stations that blasted Texas into the 1950s. Not restricted by American regulations, said stations could have up to 150 megawatts. Morrison and Manzarek both heard Wolfman Jack on one of these Mexican stations. [cite web
