    Redge Presley, the singer, worked on a building site as a roofer. When he heard this on the radio, he uped tools and left for the big time. I did see 3 of the members of this band in Carnaby Street, London. This was a popular hang out spot at the time. The song was played to death on juke boxes at the time, mainly because of the great beat and tag phrase. Check out Van Morrison as a 19 year old in his first band Them and a song called Gloria, which was also played a lot on juke boxes in the UK.

    S&M should check out "Wooly Bully" from this era, 1965. "Wooly Bully" has this same feel and is famous partly because no one can understand what the lyrics are! Maybe S&M can be the ones to figure it out!!

    Jimi Hendrix performed this song at Monterey Pop 1967 which was his big break as an artist. His version upped the "Wild" factor even more. Because he started playing "Strangers in the night" as the solo and setting his guitar on fire.

  • @rondpert5167

    The story was that the Troggs didn't want to record this song, but the record company insisted.
    So they intentionally made it weird and offbeat hoping that it wouldn't be released.

  • @MrDiddyDee
    @MrDiddyDee 2 года назад +1

    This a fun song, so simple but catchy and powerful, check out Jimi Hendrix's cover version he took it to another whole level. The instrument in the break is an Ocarina played by the singer Reg Presley, it's a palm held instrument, kind of hairdryer shaped, one of the earliest wind instrument designs known to man and it's origins go right back to the Neolithic period, quite appropriate for a such a very primal song as 'Wild thing'. The Ocarina was popular in Mayan and Aztec cultures, European explorers and conquerors then discovered it from the Aztecs. Ocarinas are commonly made of clay, wood or in modern times plastic, and, like a flutes or whistles, it has holes which are covered by the fingertips, or left open, in different combinations which produces a small muted range of notes when blown into.

    Wild Thing was used throughout the movie Major League starring Charlie Sheen. I think Wesley Snipes made his movie debut in this movie, but Charlie Sheen is “Wild Thing” in the movie. Loved your reaction AGAIN!!! ❤️❤️

    You also need to hear Love is All Around by them as well.

    The "flute" you are hearing is an ocarina, something you will never hear in another rock song!

    Wild thing was the jam for the Cleveland cavaliers Anderson Varajao. All because of his hair! He had a gigantic afro. He could block anybody's shot. All the girls were hooked on him and the guys were awesome. He came came to the arena with the afro on lol. He also got dunked on by Dwayne Wade. He played basketball in Brazil and Portugal.

    It's both hilarious and wonderful watching American adults rock out to 'our' sixties music! I was a 13 or 14-year old schoolgirl when this came out, and my parents thought it was all 'just a lot of noise'.
