who sang wild thing

The most famous version of “Wild Thing” was sung by Reg Presley, the lead singer of the British band The Troggs, whose 1966 recording became the hit single most people know.

The song itself was written by American songwriter Chip Taylor and was first recorded in 1965 by the American band The Wild Ones, but their version did not chart and is far less known. Over the years, many artists have performed or covered “Wild Thing,” including Jimi Hendrix, whose live rendition at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 is particularly iconic.
