Video de 'X - Wild Thing'

In 1984, the band X released a version as a non-album single. The Houston Press included this version as one of their "10 Greatest Versions" of the song. It was also included on the soundtrack of the feature film "Major League" as the entrance theme to Charlie Sheen's character Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn. Director David S. Ward said of this version, "I was listening to the recording of 'Wild Thing' — not the original one by the Troggs, but the one by X, and it was such a big sound, it sounded like a thousand people were singing it" and "I thought, this would be really interesting if people got so into this kid, this pitcher, that when he came into the game, they would stand up and sing 'Wild Thing.'" In 1993, the Australian band Divinyls recorded the song for the film Reckless Kelly. Released as a single, it peaked at No. 39 on the Australian Singles Chart. Professional wrestlers Atsushi Onita and Jon Moxley also use this version as their entrance themes, with Moxley using it as a tribute to Onita. Read more on Last.fm.
