Wild Thing - Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez

[Iguanaseeyou]

I just went around the block several times with Wild Thang.

This is still the bestest version there is in my dance book.

[Iguanaseeyou]

This is the very bestest version of this song I have ever heard. Great rhythm. Better than the Troggs or Bobby Kennedy's version.

[MrEmnuel]

yes i'.....

[soulagent79]

Don't fall asleep while playing...

[urunreal]

Love it!!!

[Duvidoo]

Chip is Jon's brother and Angelina's uncle.

[strongwombyn]

I wish only Carrie sang it...cuz it sounds strange having a male voice in the song...to me...i only love her sweet voice and playing...sorry chip

[auramac]

The guy's a legend- Love is All Around (Troggs) is one of my favorite songs of all time. I wish this version was less cutesy and lazy and more passionate and sexy.

[myunclejohn]

His real name is James Wesley Voight --- I think he regrets letting a record executive change his name way back when ''''' He already had a cool name...

[frankothemountain]

Far out Chip!

[bigman1239]

Yes, Chip is Angelina Jolie's uncle. His brother is Jon Voight, Angelina's dad.

[katiej88]

what idiot forgot to mic the bass? you can barely hear it.

[HorsefeathersNYC]

yes, it's "uncle chip" 

[lukelucas01]

chip taylor is angelina jolies uncle (jon voights brother)

[ytuwiwy]

EXCELENTE INTERPRETACION ! I LIKE IT !

[braindeadhick]

Who in hell is this BABE playing the violin ? She is kick ass sexy . Goddamn

[Foinnse]

@braindeadhick Too right, she is very attractive little lady, I do love a woman who can sing and play good violin. Lovely. Carrie Rodriguez it seems...

[gbhaley]

Easily the best recording of Wild Thing EVER.

Thanks, Chip. Groovy.

[Tarnaggy]

'Great cover'. Whaaaat. The pent-up adrenaline in this song and the occasional crescendo into an energetic release makes Wild Thing one of my favorite songs of all time. In its genre, that is.

[sk8rsn8k]

john platania is my uncle he playes with chip and i have met both peole backstage

[MrDaewonsDonuts]

He was at my school today :)

[DjGizzo]

[TomVagante]

GREAT COVER!

[mrbadexample83]

He wrote "Wild Thing"

[Charlienmeg]

This isn't a cover !

[TomVagante]

I didn't know...

I never heard the original song before only the one from the cover of The Troggs.

And we've covered that one.

[TomVagante]

[MalaLac]

Jon Voight's brother

[wroleSwayne]

His Angelina's father's brother, so he's her uncle. He looks a lot like John Voight!

[mrbadexample83]

[ninakeeuh]

[ClassicTVMan81]

In regards to Carrie's fiddle work: "Uhhh ... fiddle solo? That's not a fiddle solo. That's a violin solo!"

[marko511d]

Looking forward to your solo on You-Tube.

[gerdenshed]

Oliver Reed did an interesting cover of this lol. Great 5*s ;-)

Mark...

[meowmix0901]

anyone know what chords he's playing? it's different from the trogg's A D E D then G A G A

[uranne]

i know he composed the song and everything but this performance is uncomfortable to watch

[afdfdsagg]

that is an awsome violin player.

[Anas6251]

Great song !!

[ToothCentral]

she's hot!!!!!!!!!!

[akaafroman]

this guy is a wild thing.

[CarlEdwards099]

thats sooooooooooooooo gay i love country this is like retards singing

[FXMAN66]

You probably like that radio shit you call country Mr Edwards.

[PCPrabbit]

this guy is john voight's brother. pretty cool huh?

[assad4ever]

According to a NEW YORKER profile Chip got his nickname from being a compulsive gambler. Jon went from 60s radical to rightwing nut job, thus making Angelina the sane one in this family.

[HonRevPTB]

So you're saying Jon Voight is a nut job, but his daughter is sane? Come on really? Are you gonna stick with that?

How has Jon displayed nut job behavior?

I believe Angelina has exhibited pretty severe nut job behavior since she has been in the public eye.

Are you suggesting that just because Jon is a conservative,even though he's closer to the middle in that regard, that that is the reason he is a nut job? You can't believe that just because someone is a conservative that makes them a nut job

[Iguanaseeyou]

@assad4ever What exactly is a rightwing nut job? Is that the same as a left wingnut?

[Jimala3]

i was looking for william chip taylor a shortstop from lincoln high class of 71...and i found this....big music fan myself...carrie is cool...playing with alejandro e now...found out about the jon voight thing today ....wow. ss chip get in touch with me.

[peaceluvjonas4]

awesome!!!!

lolz

[douged2]

Great performances from a legend and a future superstar (Carrie Rodriguez).

[Zevon44]

Come on chaps, get your facts right. Reg Presley was the leader of the Troggs (born Andover, England). Chip Taylor's real name is James Wesley Voight and his elder brother is Jon Voight. He wrote Wild Thing and the first released version was by the Wild Ones, which sank without trace. The song was picked up by the Troggs' producer, Larry Page, and it became their first UK top five hit.

[phildirt3]

great facts thanks he looks like jon voight. saw carrie on austin city limits last night very impressive

[blubegonia]

strange to hear this version as slow and country-bumpkinish. . .

[coldshot55551]

WILD THING BABY! I LOVE IT!

[54spiritedwill54]

i like listening Carrie -t:)

[toosurreal5]

correction: i dont know if he was a member of the troggs but he wrote the song. he is angelina jolies uncle. check it out. weird. lol

[toosurreal5]

lol he wrote the song, he was a member of the troggs. lol learn the facts before speaking your mind. and besides that they're perfoming what can ya'll do? also he wrote angel of the morning juice newton sang in 81.

[ohioguy4jc]

Is he angelina Jolies uncle?

[SusannTx]

I guess you know by now.

Jon Voight is Chip Taylor's brother.

[georgievv]

ahahahaha, damn righ, nothing is wild here LMAO

[ComSamMumm]

Ohhhhh Reaaaallyyy BAAADDDD

wow really really Bad ... so bad imitation of the real "Wild Thing" .... nothing is wild there...

[Lodger3]

If you actually listened - Chip Taylor is the man who WROTE Wild Thing - so Thank him for writing a kick ass song and for showing after all these years a fresh version.

Plus I have had the honor of meeting Chip & Carrie and hanging out with them - they are Lovely.

[philipjobo]

@ComSamMumm THIS is the real Wild Thing. Jimmy Hendrix played it real good, but this is the BEST and teh original!

[Psychonature]

beautiful!

[doctorcatsburger]

Nice fiddle player I think I love Her. I married a violinist for the guitar lessons when I got better than Her She was mad

[offsetcollaborations]

[rottencherrybomb]

LLLOOOVVVVEEE some Chip and Carrie!! you people posting crap should listen to them before posting your lame comments...

[Subiisten]

[aln53]

Its all that

[rudakai]

The more talented Voight brother

[lifesbandit]

nice fiddling

[Orie1]

Love this and also liked 'The Goodies' version!

[bluescreen79]

What to fuck is it? Nasty piece of shit

[joeythepirate]

It's a bit hard to hear the Double Bass solo sadly.

[JACKASSFREAKMAN]

sounds like shit of a 20 year old rhino

[2101bob]

I find it very hard to believe that even the original author thinks it worthwhile strumming this unexciting version still! Maybe he just never heard anyone else's?

[live2dancee]

love dis

[GrejtBlekStena]

Great song, great performance.

Joopa

[xma456]

THANK GOD SOMEONE COVERD THIS!!!!

[nathanvanrijn]

[kathastep]

I have recently discovered this duo. I love them. I'm looking for anything off of The Trouble with Humans.... It's just the way.....don't you know....

[15Tobus]

Jimi Hendrix's version is MUCH BETTER!!! He is ALIVE!!! J. HX

[MuzzikLvr]

I wondered whatever happened to Chip Taylor. He sure looks a lot like his brother.

[oudeluxor]
