The structure is simple, the guitar riffs basic, the lyrics at best inane, but the Troggs' 'Wild Thing' remains a garage rock classic more than 45 years after its release made The Troggs and lead singer Reg Presley international stars.
Presley, whose raunchy, suggestive voice powers this paean to teenage lust, died Monday after a year-long struggle with lung cancer that had forced him and the band into reluctant retirement, his agent Keith Altham announced on Facebook late Monday night. He was 71.
"My dear old pal Reg Presley of The Troggs died today," he said, calling Presley "one very real person in a sometimes very unreal world." He said the singer had suffered a number of strokes recently and died at his home in Andover (70 miles west of London) surrounded by his family and friends.
'Wild Thing', written by American songwriter Chip Taylor, was originally recorded by JORDAN CHRISTOPHER & THE WILD ONES in 1965, and quickly forgotten. It took the Troggs' cover a year later to make it a classic.
