Wild Thing (Tone Lōc song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Wild Thing" is the name of rapper Tone Lōc's 1989 hit single from the album Loc'ed After Dark. The title is a reference to the phrase "Doin' the wild thing", a euphemism for sex, unlike The Troggs' hit song, Wild Thing, (with a later psychedelic version by Jimi Hendrix) in which the Wild Thing was a girl.
Tone Lōc's song peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, and spawned at least one parody (by "Weird Al" Yankovic, called Isle Thing).
The song samples Van Halen's "Jamie's Cryin'".
