"Stimulation" is the debut single from Australian pop group Wa Wa Nee. The song was released in April 1986 as the lead single from their self-titled debut studio album. The song peaked at number 2 on the Australian singles chart.[1]
The group performed the song live on Countdown on 20 July 1986.[2]
In 2015, the song was listed at number 25 in In the Mix's '100 Greatest Australian Dance Tracks of All Time' with Nick Jarvis said "its dad-dance-inducing extended mix, a seven-minute slap-bass odyssey that rivals Prince's finest work for generating dancefloor fire".[3]
