"Wig-Wam Bam" is a song by British glam rock band The Sweet, written by songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, released as a single in September 1972.

It was the first Sweet single on which the band members actually played their instruments, as previous singles featured producer Phil Wainman on drums, and session musicians John Roberts and Pip Williams (later producer of Status Quo albums) on bass and guitars respectively.

[citation needed] Also, this was the first Sweet single with bass player Steve Priest singing some parts of the lead vocal: the "try a little touch, try a little too much" line at the chorus.

This became an important part of Sweet's later style; on most of their later singles they also used this technique, with Priest singing some lines of the song.

After the song became a hit, Sweet adopted a glam image, starting to wear glitter and makeup.
