Scream Dream, Ted Nugent's sixth studio album, came out on Epic in June 1980, and the Motor City Madman still has no intention of turning anything down. It was his last studio record with drummer Cliff Davies, and it plays like a going-away party thrown at full volume, all frenzied, bluesy guitar squall and barely restrained mayhem.
The opener, "Wango Tango", became a Nugent staple on the spot, a strutting hard rock stomper that stops dead in the middle so Ted can play carnival barker and rap his way through a goofball routine. After that it's heavy metal muscle: the title track, "Hard as Nails" and "Terminus El Dorado" hit hardest. It reached number 13 on the Billboard 200, and "Wango Tango" and "Scream Dream" later landed on the compilation Playlist: The Very Best of Ted Nugent.
