Comments:

"Wild Thing" was another one of those #1 songs from the summer of 1966. The Troggs themselves were a British invasion quartet from Andover, Hampshire, England and were signed by the Kinks' manager. "Wild Thing" was written by Chip Taylor and was the only #1 song for the Troggs, made popular by the memorable vocals of lead singer, Reg Presley. But it has had a lot of staying power, still being played on many Classic Rock and Classic Hit stations, in several movies and in a very memorable episodes of the early 1990's hit TV show, "Life Goes On". And Jimi Hendrix with his group Experience recorded a memorable version of the tune at 1967's Monterey Pop Festival.
