The Troggs – Wild Thing

  General Comment:I read an interesting comment about this song in a newspaper today - that it is 'the ultimate masculine song of deceit' - with particular reference to the line "I think I love you, but I wanna know for sure".
  I had never thought of it that way - that the guy is just saying "I need to have sex with you to see if I really love you."

  General Comment:This is about a wild girl who is jittery and shaking from too many cups of coffee.

    Well, I always thought this song was about a ferocious kitten.

  General Comment:Well, I think the sound of this song is great, always have, but come on, folks! "You make Ev'ry - Thing. . . . . .groovy"? Doesn't that strike you as a little lame? I've always wondered if the song was a sendup of some sort.

  General Comment:some random trivia: it's actually an ocarina that they play in the song. it's a round, four-hole flute. but i agree with opinionhead. it sounds really cool.

  General Comment:This song means Jonathan Papelbon is making his way to the mound...which generally means the Red Sox will win.

  General Comment:this cover of a song by chip taylor gave the troggs their FIRST OF MANY hits.
  
  this was the song i first learned to play on guitar. it doesn't matter how pissed you get, you can still play it.
  
  the troggs were quite punky in there minimalism i feel.
