[WhoresOfBabylon]

of course Nirvana`s smells like teen spirit borrows from this track to a certain extent, except for the lousy production that is, lol

[dankwarth]

the song is a cover, the original was  recorded by The Wild Ones

[WytZox1]

Great Garage Band music of the 1960s!☺

I first hear this song in the summer of 1975,It was on the radio alot at that time . I just got out of High School.I was driving a 1968 dodge R/T Charger 440 , 4 speed. This song made the Charger do BAD THINGS. Alot of fun ,this song and fast cars.Maybe a few wild woman also!!

[censurado618]

[thinkbad42]

I used to be a wild thing...then i took an arrow to the knee.

[MsSummerLightning]

@davedoom60 Lol, cool it got an award!

[mtnbiker014]

you "kids" crack me up. This was recorded/released as a single in '66,

That's 23 years BEFORE it was used in the movie "Major League". It was Ricky Vaughn's (aka Wild Thing) intro song when he came in from the bull pen.

[mickytakers1012]

i can play this on guitar its easy but good

[BeeEmEcks]

@mickytakers1012 A D E D, G A G A

[LightBlueMasta]

[rockin335]

Loved the song, Loved to dance to it with my babe, back in the day.

[MsZathras]

A song that takes those of us old enough to remember back to the 60's. Great songs - Great Memories!

[97redsoxfan]

Charlie Sheen

[3YECANDY08]

I love D!S, it definitely takes me back to da 60'S

[sweet4L1f3]

wow...this song...is :X:X:X coool:X

[velenjak4ever]

It only took them 20 minutes to record this tune. It should have deserved a better ranking on Billboard at the time.

[Adarvuli]

i just huffed a sharpie marker, without meaning to, and im actually having a fucking ball right now :))

[axt947]

Can anybody hear this without thinking of Charlie Sheen walking onto a baseball field?

[alexaddicted2]

@axt947 ...not me...reminds me of school in 66

[Greatcartoonist]

@axt947 nope lol, watching that movie righ now haha

[exerminator2000]

@axt947 all i can think of is animal goin wild on the drums. XD

[johnydii2]

@axt947 Yes.

[JonnieZ33]

@axt947 No.

[patriotgoatmam]

@axt947 What I think of is Kevin Costner ripping a phone off the wall in a Philipino girlie bar in No Way Out.

[axt947]

@patriotgoatmam Wow, haven't thought of that film in years. Must watch it again.

[GriefTourist]

jon voight's brother wrote this!

[eminemrocks000001]

This dude sang this in my school. And it was GOOD! Love this song.!! ''You make my heart sing........'' <3 <3 <3LOVE IT!!

[craicrazy]

[zebra1067]

[myredpip]

[TaylorGangUkTaylors]

my nephew absolutly loves dis song his only 1 :D

[JamesastanWAW]

I wish people still said groovy

[Hermesiam]

Futurama brought me here

[MrHighFRUCTOSE]

@Hermesiam Thats pretty fuckin sad

[Badbuckingsmiley]

Is it me, or is there Punk elements in the song, through the Punk genre came later?

[ShapelyDice]

@Badbuckingsmiley If you're thinking of punk in the 1970s, punk was around long before then. Some people even consider some of the obscure 1950s rockabilly stuff punk. But yeah, there are definitely punk elements in this song.

[Badbuckingsmiley]

@ShapelyDice okay :) i confess im not familiar with punk, so i thought it was unknown untill the 70's :)

So you can say, they are not one of the first who played "punkish" music :)

[TheFutureengineer20]

@Badbuckingsmiley I read somewhere that the Ramones were influenced by these guys. So I guess these guess are amongst the artist who provided a musical template for punk rock.

[Badbuckingsmiley]

@TheFutureengineer20 okay awsome :) Thats a huge honor to inspire bands like The Ramons :) Then they could be one of the pioneers of punk :) when i were younger i didnt understood the genre, but i think today that punk is a cool genre actually :) Its great to listen to the Roots :)

[grasnes]

Wow, I am glad Animal Planet brough me here! :D

[1Aranil2]

I love how the albumcover doesn't even list this song on the front...

[PaisleyWilde]

@1Aranil2 Oh yea, except for the HUGE wild thing in the top right of the red portion of the album cover.

[Slaphappy1975]

@PaisleyWilde lol, GG

[gyfyasdugcuxjftsdvfb]

@1Aranil2 it sais WILD THING in big letters

[zephy1001]

@1Aranil2 loooollllllllllllllllll apart from the fact it does 

[avdreader1]

I have heard it since it came out in 1966 and I still LOVE it!

[MegaGodlovers]

171 people were dropped on their head when they were a baby!!!

[TheNDFarmer]

@bonbonthejohnmon that sounds very hevily biased. America has won wars before and if we could get back to actual fighting insted of police actions we could wars again. as about canadian's living longer and being smarter, that depends on the specific people you test, so shut up you dumb cunt!

[erik260196]

I knew this song even before, but Mjor League made me singing it again and again :)

[bwild61]

Responsible for more orgasms than any other song in history

[velenjak4ever]

@bwild61

You´re funny!!!

[bwild61]

@velenjak4ever Thank you!

[DuceMM]

@bwild61 Ever heard of Sexual Healing from Marvin Gaye?

[terga1]

@DuceMM Nah, that can't compare + it's 20 years younger

[tippytoby57]

@terga1 I remember cruising through Finley's Drive in London,Ky in 1966, with my cousins, singing the song at the top of our lungs, trying to impress the chicks.....where have the years gone....seems like yesterday!

[terga1]

@tippytoby57 Must have been good times

[MrAgnost]

Groovy!

[goodc713]

rick Vaughn!

[airzorne]

Thank you BF: Vietnam, for introducing me to this song.

[MrCook1227]

The people who used the word 'groovy' back in the 60's and early 70's were usually people we would have called 'posers' if we had used that word. They were like hippies who really really wanted to be hippies. It seemed so put on. I always felt embarrassed for anyone who said it more than once in a great while.

[fernandotorres0717]

@MrCook1227 stfu ur a faggot u werent even cool in the seventis you bitch lol

[ShadeeeMilito]

[Vezouviosman]

Groovy wild things never age!

[Salivia2009]

Groovy baby!



[daddyrock123]

The whistling sound on the song is made from an instrument called an Ocarina. It's not a recorder. By the way, they used to teach the recorder in school because learning any musical instrument increases your brain function, thus making one smarter. That is a natural born fact. Love The Troggs. They rocked the sixties aand had other great songs other than "Wild Thing". Peace.

[twajetmech1]

@daddyrock123 Wow, I had to go look that up. I've never heard of that instrument. I always thought it was a Tonette (if I spelled that right). That was the first little "flute like" instrument they taught in our school music class. To my poor untrained ear they sounded the same. As we used to say in the day: That's Groooovy!

[Tiphany757]

@daddyrock123 Wow thanks for sharing the info, a grew some more brain cells reading this, I'm officially a little more smarter :)

[avdreader1]

What a GREAT song! I've heard it a million times and I still love it!

[JamesastanWAW]

top comment! thats groovy

[TheHassebrock]

Wild thing I think I love you *Doon doon doon doon* BUT I WANNA KNOW for sure *Doon doon doon doon* So come on and hold me tight *Doon doon doon doon* I love you *DOON DOON, DOON DOON DON DOON DOON....*

[MrHadez200]

[psadpoiafsdf]

Angalina Jolie's uncle wrote this for the Troggs

[raperkin]

Wierd Thing.. .You make my heart sing . WTF THIS IS A DILDO !!!!!!!

[Bkrp]

Swamp Thing

You are amazing

[TheOrderoftheOwl]

The "Recorder" lead is the best part!!!

[jeffreygaudreault]

@latacabre1 Doesn't Jon Lord of Deep Purple play the "Wild Thing" melody at the beginning of "Lazy" on the "Made in Japan" album, man?

[PJF1981]

@jeffreygaudreault Deep Purple may use E, A and D a lot but they've got so much more about them than The Troggs... Deep Purple have nothing to thank The Troggs for, and the intro to Lazy bears no resemblance to Wild Thing, sorry. I do dig the Recorder solo though. They used to force us to give up our break times to learn recorder, and who ever benefited from it other than The Troggs?

[TheCoiledAnklet]

If this song had a love button, I'd be all over it. <3

[tillyvictory]

Charlie Sheens is back on Two and a half men in my dreams.

[thenameless50000]

[JamesastanWAW]

i wish people still said groovy

[Atvsrawsome]

@JamesastanWAW ikr lol

[WytZox1]

@JamesastanWAW -- "Groovy" lasted about as long as the Nehru Jacket and the Apache scarf of that era. Then came the 70s and those most un-groovy polyester lesion suits. the official "I'm a totally un-cool dweeb" uniform.

Anyway other than in song lyrics and on TV sitcoms and top-40 DJs I don't recall ever hearing a real life person use the term "groovy".

[alex2410]

@JamesastanWAW I do.

[raginghawk17]

@JamesastanWAW GROOVY DUDE! how you doin?
