Wild Thing The Troggs

 
 




 Pay attention to this - of the many tabs of this 1966 Troggs protopunker<br/>
 that I've seen on the net, this is the only one that gets the 'wild thing,<br/>
 I think I love you' break correct.  Which is all the more amazing when<br/>
 you see how laughably simple it actually is.<br/>
 <br/>
 As Dave Marsh said in _The New Book of Rock Lists_: 'Based on their playing<br/>
 style, the Troggs [troglodytes, i.e. cave dwellers] in question would have<br/>
 to be considered Neanderthals - Cro-Magnons had art.'  -- AWR<br/>
