Songfacts®:

  • Although Nugent has always loved women, he was always more physical than spiritual, but he wrote this song about a woman who shared his life for nine years, Pele Massa, whom he met when she was 17 and he was 30.

    Nugent was a married man at the time, but in July 1978 his first wife served him with divorce papers. Although he and Pele never married, his daughter Sasha said she became a surrogate mother to her and her brother. Nugent himself said he fell head over heels for her.
  • Running to 4 minutes 50 seconds, "Little Miss Dangerous" was the title track to Nugent's ninth album, and was also released as a single on the Atlantic label. Backed by "Angry Young Man," it made #22 on the Mainstream Rock chart. >>

The show, which was in its second season, was very popular at the time and provided great exposure for the song. Earlier that season, Nugent made his acting debut in the episode "Definitely Miami."
