Sung to the music from the band's then-current single "Baby, Oh No", the title track's lyrics extolled the virtues of the Perky Jean make-up line. The track is often misidentified as "Perky Jean" due to the chorus of "Hey perky, perky jean, you make me feel like a teenage queen".

When Cherry Red Records reissued See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang Yeah, City All Over! Go Ape Crazy! in 2010 as a 2-CD set, entitled See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang/B-Sides, all 5 tracks from Teenage Queen were included on the second disc. On 25 May 2018, Cherry Red released the three-disc set Your Box Set Pet (The Complete Recordings 1980–1984), which included Teenage Queen in its entirety on the third disc.[1]

The record Teenage Queen is not related to a widely-ported early strip poker computer game from 1988.[2]

gollark: But then reduced it to only *one* of the exercises after people had already done quite a bit.
gollark: They also told us to do the entire set of exercises in the first chapter of the textbook for... I think next week... so quite possibly.
gollark: They talked about how excited they were about... doing a hundred past exam papers in their spare time, or something?
gollark: I got a weird teacher quite like that this year, but fortunately managed to transfer away from having them quite soon.
gollark: These seem like perfectly reasonable questions.
