[E] I was basically a country writer to [A] start with from New York [D] City, which was I was one
of the [E] only country writers there.
[E] And I started [A] writing some rock and roll [E] songs that pretty much sounded more [D] Memphis based
than New [A] York based.
I had no [Em] successes at the time before Wild Thing in the rock [A] and roll thing.
But [Em] my reputation as a rock and roll writer was starting to develop.
Some people liked my things.
[E] And so out of the blue I got a call [A] from a producer.
He asked me if he said I heard you writing some interesting rock and roll songs.
I have a group I'm producing, Jordan Christopher and the Wild Ones.
They have their own songs, which I'm not that happy with.
And I would like to [E] augment that with a new [A] song.
Do you have one or could you write [E] one for me?
And I said, well, when do you need it by?
He said, tomorrow.
So I was so flattered that anybody would call me to ask me for a song.
And I just started [F] fooling around, playing some chords and humming some [A] nonsense things.
And [Em] out Wild Thing [D] came.
You make [A]
everything [B] groove.
I [A] recorded the demo of it.
I [D] remember it sounded [E] so [B] real [Em] to me and so sexual to me and so much.
It captured exactly what I felt that I was so embarrassed about it.
I took all the discs that the publishing company had in the W file.
And I took them out one night and I put them on top so nobody could find them.
But, you know, weeks later it got to the Troggs, but somebody found them up there.
I was sent a demo from our publisher.
[C] And he said he got it out of a heap of demos like that, all these demos.
And he thought, this would be good for the Troggs and sent it down to me.
You're always concerned if somebody recorded your song that they would capture the feel of it.
That was the most important thing to me, that they got the juice of it.
Chip had written it just on the acoustic guitar.
And I thought this would sound fabulous if it was expanded into a group sound, you know.
And I played it to the other boys and Chris said, but it's only got three chords.
Because he'd been studying classical guitar for about eight years.
And he meant three chords.
The Troggs record sounded exactly like my demo.
I did it with a big acoustic open hole guitar and chugged away at it and stomped on the floor.
And did a few things to get the juice out of it.
And then banged on things to [E] get little accents.
When the Troggs did it, they did it with an electric guitar, but they [A] did it exactly the same.
Exactly the same pulses.
[A] Wild thing.
[E] [D] You make my [Am] heart sing.
[E] [D] You [A] make [D] everything breathe.
[E] [D]
[A] Wild thing.
[E] [A]
Wild [Am] thing I think I love.
But I want to know for sure.
[Am] I think it started, [D#] whereas things were getting very syrupy, sugary kind of music in those days.
It was a [F] little bit like this, you know.
I think it sort of [D] said something about punk for the first time.
We used to routine in a garage.
So it was coming from the roots, if you know what I mean.
And [B] it was exciting [E] to do that number [A] as well.
Wild thing.
[E]
Troggs record was a magic record.
[A] Wild [D] thing.
[E]
[D] You make my heart [A] sing.
[E] He's doing it [D] well now.
He's got a young lady who [A] plays a violin with his [D] acoustic guitar, which is great.
But he plays it very laid back.
So far [F#] back he might fall over, you know.
[A] Really laid down.
Wild thing I think I love [A] you.
But I want to know for sure.
So come on and hold me tight.
I love you [D] wild thing.
[E] [A]
You make my heart sing.
[D]
You [A] make [D] everything [E] groovy.
[A] Come on wild thing.
[E]
I think the strength of wild thing is that every [A]
guitarist that ever picks up a guitar to begin to learn to play thinks,
I'll start with something easy.
[Em] And they pick [A] up and they can do three [B] chords and they've got a song straight away to [D] sing.
And [A] it's almost like a [Em] national anthem of the [E] young.
It's the aggression of the young.
[A] Wild thing.
[E] You [A] make my heart [E] sing.
