I was15 when this song hit the charts. We all thought it was racy because he was asking a girl to sleep with him to make sure he loved her. We debated if that line would actually work. It was a more innocent time.
Yonkers songwriter Chip Taylor is dead at 86.

Taylor, who was born James Wesley Voight, is famous for penning the Troggs’ 1966 rock classic “Wild Thing” as well as “Angel of the Morning,” which Juice Newton turned into a smash hit 1981 single.

His death was announced by fellow songwriter Billy Vera on Instagram.

“RIP: Chip Taylor, my friend and songwriting mentor, last night in hospice,” he wrote Tuesday.

Wild Thing

Song by The Troggs
Wild thing
Wild thing
Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything groovy
Wild thing
Wild thing, I think I love you
But I wanna know for sure
So come on, hold me tight
I love you
Wild thing
Wild thing
Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything groovy
Wild thing
Wild thing, I think you move me
But I wanna know for sure
So come on, hold me tight
You move me
Wild thing
Wild thing
Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything groovy
Wild thing
Come on, come on, wild thing
Shake it, shake it, wild thing
Wild thing
Oh, wild thing
Oh, wild thing
Come on, come on, wild thing
Yeah, wild thing
Wild thing
Wild-

RIP Mr. Taylor.

I remember the song from when I was about 13. Back then, I still accepted song lyrics as a naïve kid.
