Wild Thing

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