"Wild Thing" Is A Hit Song Written By New York City-Born Songwriter Chip Taylor And Originally Recorded By The Wild Ones In 1965. The Song Is Best Known For Its 1966 Cover By The English Band The Troggs Which Reached The Number One Spot On The Billboard Hot 100 In July 1966. The Song Charted One Position Lower In Britain Reaching #2. The Song As Sung By The Troggs Is Ranked #257 On The Rolling Stone Magazine's List Of The 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time. Composition The Song's Central Guitar Riff Is Immediately Recognizable And Frames The Central Lyric Wild Thing –
You Make My Heart Sing –
You Make Everything ... GroovyThe Music Stops For The Counter Lyric Wild Thing I Think I Love You Or You Move Me ...
But I WANNA KNOW For Sure.
So Come On And Hold Me Tight –
I Love You Or You Move Me The Song Is In The Key Of A Major And Is Based Around The Chord Progression I - IV - V - IV Which Is The Basis For The Main Riff And The Instrumental Parts During The Chorus. However The Guitars Are Not Strictly Tuned To Middle C In The Troggs Version And The Slightly Sharp Tuning Causes The Chords To Actually Be Midway Between A And Bb. This Has Of Course Mystified Many Guitar Players Trying To Play Along With The Record. The Middle Eight Was Originally Someone Whistling But In The Troggs' Version This Was Replaced By Colin Fretcher Musical Director Playing An Ocarina. Troggs Single The Troggs Version Was Recorded In Mono In One Piece On The Second Take At Olympic Studios Which Was Then At Carton Street Off Baker Street In London By Engineer Keith Grant. Because Of A Distribution Dispute The Troggs Single Was Available On Two Competing Labels Atco And Fontana. Because Both Pressings Were Taken From The Identical Master Recording Billboard Combined The Sales For Both Releases Making It The Only Single To Simultaneously Reach #1 For Two Companies.
