Wide Receiver is a 1980 funk/dance song by North American bass guitarist and vocalist Michael Henderson. The song was from the album Wide Receiver which is now out of print. However the compilation album The Best of Michael Henderson contains the song 'Wide Receiver'.
Michael Henderson is mainly known for smooth R&B of the style later known as 'quiet storm'; this song was his only club dance track.
The song contains innuendos in the form of American football references. It also has references to marijuana. Sounds from the handheld game Mattel Electronic Football were used in the introduction and background of the song.
The phrase "sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't" from Mounds and Almond Joy advertising were also used in the lyrics.
