Styrous® ~ Thursday, April 21, 2021
On April 22, 1966, The Troggs released their single, Wild Thing and it landed like a lead balloon! Sometimes things need a little getting used to.
But it reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the UK Singles Chart in 1966. Their version of the song was ranked at number 257 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Wild Thing was written by American songwriter Chip Taylor and popularized by The Troggs. The first studio version was recorded by the The Wild Ones, a band based in New York. They had contacted composer Taylor
to ask him to write a song for them to release as a single. He
composed it very quickly: within a couple of minutes, he had the chorus
and a "sexual-kind-of-feeling song" emerged.
On his demo version, Taylor banged on a tambourine while producer Ron
Johnson "was doing this little thing with his hands", as Taylor related
it. The result sounded "cool". Producer Gerry Granahan
approved the song and then produced the Wild Ones' recording, with
vocals by Chuck Alden. However, on its release in November 1965, the
record failed to sell, and Alden later said that he regretted not
performing the song in the same way as Taylor's demo.
The solo in the middle of the song was performed by the recording
engineer using his hands as a whistle. This sound was subsequently
imitated by The Troggs in their version using an ocarina.
The Troggs were introduced to the song by their manager Larry Page, and they considered it "so weird and unusual that we just had to record it"
It was ultimately covered by many groups including The Jimi Hendrix Experience; they gave a performance of the song, at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967; in the documentary Monterey Pop, Jimi Hendrix lit his guitar on fire at the song's conclusion (link below).

I Got Lovin' If You Want It is one of my top songs from this album; it moves like a train out of control and it's got some great guitar work by Richard Moore.
