###### Full Description

A website commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the first release of "Wet Wen Wet," the debut album by The Geeks. Recorded by three 10-year-olds with a tape recorder and Casio SK-1, "Wet Wen Wet" is the first album to parody "Livin' on a Prayer" and "Fight for your Right (to Party)." In 1987 you would have paid $3.50 for a copy of this tape. Over 20 copies were sold. The Geeks performed live concerts in the lunchroom and at the duck pond.
