"White Punks on Dope", abbreviated as "WPOD", is a 1975 song by San Francisco-based rock group the Tubes from their debut album, produced by Al Kooper.

The song was written by the band's dual lead guitarists, Bill Spooner and Roger Steen with Michael Evans.

[1] Known for frequent costume changes, the group's lead singer Fee Waybill plays the character of Quay Lewd (a take-off on Quaalude), a drugged-out British rock star wearing two-foot-tall platform shoes, a feather boa and a long blonde wig.

In his early career as a choreographer for the band, Kenny Ortega would add elements to try to make every show more spectacular.

[2][3] Whilst it was considered too racy to receive much airplay in the United States,[citation needed] two years later the single reached No.
