Wild Thing

The Troggs

Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything groovy
Wild thing
Wild thing, I think I love you
But I wanna know for sure
Come on, hold me tight
I love you

Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything groovy
Wild thing

Wild thing
I think you move me
But I wanna know for sure
So come on and hold me tight
You move me

Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything groovy
Wild thing
Come on, come on wild thing
Shake it, shake it, wild thing

    this cover of a song by chip taylor gave the troggs their FIRST OF MANY hits. this was the song i first learned to play on guitar. it doesn't matter how pissed you get, you can still play it. the troggs were quite punky in there minimalism i feel.

    This song means Jonathan Papelbon is making his way to the mound...which generally means the Red Sox will win.

    some random trivia: it's actually an ocarina that they play in the song. it's a round, four-hole flute. but i agree with opinionhead. it sounds really cool.

    Well, I think the sound of this song is great, always have, but come on, folks! "You make Ev'ry - Thing. . . . . .groovy"? Doesn't that strike you as a little lame? I've always wondered if the song was a sendup of some sort.

    so to speak, yes. The song is quite a sendup to quite a few people. not me. Well, that was the style in 60's. eh, who know's?

    This is about a wild girl who is jittery and shaking from too many cups of coffee.

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
