About The Song

The Troggs’ song “Wild Thing” is a classic rock song, written by American songwriter Chip Taylor and made popular by the British band The Troggs. The song was originally recorded by Jordan Christopher & The Wild Ones, but did not chart. The Troggs’ version was recorded in just one take and became their biggest hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the UK Singles Chart in 1966. The Troggs’ version of “Wild Thing” is also ranked at number 257 on Rolling Stone magazine’s 2004 list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

The song centers around an adventurous woman who is not afraid to take risks and live life to the fullest, and is openly sexual and rebellious. It has become an anthem for the rebellion and freedom of the 1960s counterculture movement, and has since been covered by many artists, including Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Springsteen. Despite the simplicity of its lyrics, the song has a deeper meaning of breaking free from societal norms and embracing one’s wild side.

Lyrics

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
So come on and 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
