Wicky Wacky

The title appears as "Wicky Wacky," "Wicki-Wacky" and "Wicki Wacky" in different sources. It runs 3:20, was released in 1974 on Event, and charted in the United States on the R&B chart at number 94, according to Wikipedia; its UK position of 82 came from a 1985 reissue on a double single with "Is This the Future," which a search-result summary dates to October 1985. Credits found in a search listing name Curtis and Flippin as writers.

In a 2012 interview Curtis said four songs, including this one, grew out of an earlier piece called "Going to See My Baby," and the interviewer described Flippin's bass lines on this and the title track as reggae-like. Ace Records claims in its notes to the compilation Hustle! The Ultimate Fatback 1969-84 that Curtis's drums influenced the rhythm section sound of Sly and Robbie; this is a label claim only. The compilation opens its second disc with the song, in a set of rare-groove and sampled tracks.

The band played the song at the Hammersmith Odeon on October 12, 1986; that version is on the live album Live (1987). Setlist.fm shows it in recent UK sets, including KOKO in London and Cambridge Junction in August 2025. MusicBrainz lists later appearances in DJ mixes and a 2026 edit on a Flying Lotus Beats in Space show.
