BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

“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. In the United States “Stimulation” was released as the second single from their debut album and peaked at number 86 on the Billboard Hot 100 on January 30, 1988, after spending two weeks on the survey.
