when did wild thing come out
Wild Thing  is a single by rapper Tone LÅc from his 1989 album LÅc-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 , (later covered by Jimi Hendrix) in which the wild thing was a girl.pparently, this decision was taken without consulting the band's original members (credited as co-authors of the song), who in turn did not expect Wild Thing to become the major hit it became. A subsequent civil lawsuit was settled out of court, with the band receiving US$180,000 as settlement payment.
