Wild Thing, c’mon and hold me tight……..you mooooooove me!

Poor old Reg. sadly missed.

Great song!

Alexikakos, thank you for your enlightenment. my brain wasn’t “open for business”, yet. Kept trying to piece the clues together this a.m., then it all hit me. (Sort of A Beatles’ A Day In the Life moment) all I can say was WOW… Mr. Gilchrist, a fitting tribute, and I find myself joining Nancy and Fritizi in jamming to the defining piece of Mr. Reg Presley and the Troggs’ legacy….

Good thing Nancy doesn’t know yet what the Wild Thing actually is

Never realised that The Troggs had so many fans in the USA. They were rather under-rated in the UK but they were a great band and never pretentious.

@felix,

Not necessarily THAT wild thing. The Troggs’ version, as noted here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Thing_(The_Troggs_song)

compare that article with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Thing_(Tone_L%C5%8Dc_song)

Oh, YES Fritzi……..You are the original wild thangi

Girls just love to have FUN!

Fritzi looks a little chunky in this strip.

@truecanadianliberal,

WHAT? What are you even talking about? Sorry. Actually, I’m not sure what your post for me is saying I was doing, but I’ll explain my intent: In my comment, I was trying to show Felixthecat that the reference to wild thing was NOT NECCESSARILY about what Felixthecat was making reference to.

If you look at my post, I provided two links to Wikipedia-one to the Troggs’ version, one to “Tone Loc”‘s version, JUST FOR COMPARISON, to show that the Troggs’ version was about a GIRL, and NOT to what the Tone Loc song is. I IN NO WAY would ever confuse the two songs, but many people DO confuse the two terms, which is embodied in these two songs. The Tone Loc link was ONLY A REFERENCE POINT, and only to point out as it states there, that the Troggs’ Wild Thing was not about anything but a Girl, the infatuation from the vantage point of the singer (in this case, Mr. Presley).

Again, to be clear, I DO know what the reference means, and I was just trying to show that this reference to the Troggs’ Wild Thing was not to anything neccessarily naughty, and the Tone Loc link was only to prove that, and that alone. Sorry. I just take pride in my references and in promoting the classics. That is if I’m understanding your post correctly. Please enlighten me, if I misunderstood you……

And by classics here, in this context, I meant the Troggs, The Searchers, Roy Orbison, Buffalo Springfield, Poco, Carl Perkins, etc. Although other Genres also have their classics…..

And, may I say, too, in my recollections, there was always Manfred Mann playing when I was young, and in my Grade School days, we sang the Troggs, . Dont get me wrong… QR did amp up the popularity of Slade’s song, but we liked stuff because it sounded good to us, and we had good teachers (musicwise- family, friends, etc.) who taught us to respect the classics, and to not be led along with Top 40 as much as finding what was good to our ears (Rock, Country, Pop, Motown, Stax what have you…)when the Educational TV Program “Colorsounds” came out, it was then that I got a taste of Slade, among other British Rock acts. Jimi’s verion of Wild Thing was great, but we liked the original and the cover, too, unlike how it kinda seems today. Slade, DC5, Yardbirds, Kinks, Animals, listening to WolfMan Jack on the local station, bringing them to us, being able to catch the act on the Midnight Special, this among other things, we got to be immersed in all the good stuff….

“red hot wax”? Is anyone under 30 going to understand that?

Is this strip available as a short video?

Why is Fritzi dressed like 2013 and Nancy dressed like 1953?
