"I Wanna Be Somebody" is the first single from heavy metal band W.A.S.P.'s debut album W.A.S.P.
It was ranked at #84 in VH1's 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs. The song's title is taken from an episode of Barney Miller, where Detective Ron Harris states that "God I Wanna Be Somebody" in a manner which Blackie Lawless found humorous.
