As someone who was born in 1966 and loved this song (performed by the Troggs) for as long as I can remember, I am ashamed to admit that I just found out it was written by Chip Taylor. Thank you Chip Taylor! My life would not have been as awesome without your contribution to music!
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...
@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...
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.
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
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?
You hit on a curious element about things coming together to make a hit out of an otherwise obscure non-entity. The Troggs did it for this product just as the Kingsmen did it for Louie Louie and Elvis for Blue Suede Shoes. Go figure.

Easily the best recording of Wild Thing EVER.
Thanks, Chip. Groovy.
In case you're wondering what business Chip Taylor has "covering" this song -- he wrote it! ;)
Simplicity is beautiful!
Carrie is every man's Wild Thing.
Awesome to your band.THANK YOU ✌

у меня всегда сердце особливо колотится када слушаешь прямо таки оригинал знакомой вещицы, авторское исполнение это всегда особый смак
If i knew what you said, Otto, i'd probably agree
I love how she says thang

This is awesome! Totally different feel to the song. It's more of a love song here, rather than a party anthem.
Love this and also liked 'The Goodies' version!
I saw the Troggs perform this live. They opened for Jimi Hendrix at the Mosque in Richmond!
i like listening Carrie -t:)
WILD THING BABY! I LOVE IT!
THANK GOD SOMEONE COVERD THIS!!!!
He wrote it !
Jon Voights brother. He wrote this.
love dis
EXCELENTE INTERPRETACION ! I LIKE IT !
It's the original!
Dude wrote the song
great facts thanks he looks like jon voight. saw carrie on austin city limits last night very impressive
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....
Carrie Rodriguez. Wow!!
He is her uncle as Chip Taylor and Jon Voight are brothers and Voight her father. Thank God the Troggs covered this song!
Can you imagine the royalties on this classic.
He made so much money off it he spent 10K a day gambling in Vegas.
"Holy Sh*t!!!!!!" ..........♫
"what a beautiful human being"
UHHHH It is hard:) It is really Wild!!!
What became of the official video for this...I can't find it anywhere...I remember seeing it.
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.
Looking forward to your solo on You-Tube.
@Christianbaleisahunk yes his brother is her dad
@ComSamMumm THIS is the real Wild Thing. Jimmy Hendrix played it real good, but this is the BEST and teh original!
Yes, Chip is Angelina Jolie's uncle. His brother is Jon Voight, Angelina's dad.
@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...
Oliver Reed did an interesting cover of this lol. Great 5*s ;-)
Mark...
1:43 shake that thang
I wondered whatever happened to Chip Taylor. He sure looks a lot like his brother.
yes, it's "uncle chip"
He and John Voight are brothers - so he's Angelina's uncle
Its all that
у народной песни есть авторы как выясняется ))
...only the cover from The Troggs
Sorry for my mistakes :)
yes i'.....
this guy is john voight's brother. pretty cool huh?
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
Uncle
GREAT COVER!
He wrote it !!
Geez he looks so much like his brother.
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.
Chip is Jon's brother and Angelina's uncle.
It's a bit hard to hear the Double Bass solo sadly.
He's her uncle

2101bob, sorry buddy even jimi's version can't top that, and it is quite exciting, unless maybe you don't like women
anyone know what chords he's playing? it's different from the trogg's A D E D then G A G A
Jon Voight's brother
Her uncle
ik heb geen zin om optestaan
This is such a sexually charged rendition of this song HOT
This isn't a cover !
strange to hear this version as slow and country-bumpkinish. . .
Proves it's country heart.
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?

This is what happens to a song when you ripp the heart out of it !!!! terrible ..
Idiot!
Exactly. It's not just words on paper that make a song a hit. The Troggs imbued it with spirit, gave it a soul, and brought it to life.
chip taylor is angelina jolies uncle (jon voights brother)
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?
You have no soul, heart, or ear for music! This is a fabulous version by the man who wrote it together with his perfect musical partner...
It's just my opinion but you're wrong.
You hit on a curious element about things coming together to make a hit out of an otherwise obscure non-entity. The Troggs did it for this product just as the Kingsmen did it for Louie Louie and Elvis for Blue Suede Shoes. Go figure.
Looks like his less talented brother
Jimi Hendrix's version is MUCH BETTER!!! He is ALIVE!!! J. HX
as mistakes go, I've seen worse :)
i know he composed the song and everything but this performance is uncomfortable to watch
