![]() Titled " Real Wild Child (Wild One)", this became a No. Iggy Pop included a cover of the song on his seventh studio album Blah-Blah-Blah (1986). Iggy Pop version "Real Wild Child (Wild One)" The song was the first Australian rock recording to reach the national charts, peaking at No. at the time, it did finally appear on a local compilation LP in the 70's and is now commonly available on various JOK CDs." Ignoring the crowd overdub at the start, both versions have a different intro and JOK's vocal on the foreign versions is noticeably wilder than on the EP version issued here… As far as I know, the US/UK single version which, IMHO, is markedly superior to our version, was never issued in Australia. "Festival liner notes have always put forward that the crowd overdub was the only difference. This version, ostensibly recorded live at the Sydney Stadium, was in fact a studio recording, overdubbed with the sound of a real audience.Īn alternate version was recorded and released outside Australia: in the United States (as "Real Wild Child") on Brunswick and in the UK on Coral. O'Keefe was the first artist to record it, on his debut EP Shakin' at the Stadium, released on the Festival label. The Living End performed the song at the 2008 APRA Awards to mark the anniversary. The band Jet and Iggy Pop recorded a cover version that was released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the original release. The release date of the single, 5 July 1958, is considered the birth of Australian rock and roll. In an article by Clinton Walker that tries to answer the question, What was Australia’s first rock’n’roll record? the writer quotes Dee Jays’ saxophonist – and the song’s co-writer – John Greenan corroborating Casch’s account and elaborating upon it. Some of the dance patrons came to blows with wedding guests in the men's toilets, and within minutes the brawl had become a full-scale riot that spilled out into the street, with police eventually calling in the Navy Shore Patrol to help restore order. According to Casch, as O'Keefe and the Dee Jays played at an upstairs venue, an "Italian wedding" reception was taking place downstairs. Sydney disc jockey Tony Withers was credited with helping to get radio airplay for the song but writer credits on subsequent versions often omit Withers, who later worked in the United Kingdom on pirate stations Radio Atlanta and, as Tony Windsor, on Radio London.Īccording to O'Keefe's guitarist, Lou Casch, the song was inspired by an incident at a gig in Newtown, Sydney, in about 1957.

If alcohol is a depressant then why it make me shake my ass This is the scene that let ‘Wild Child’ win Best Picture, 3 years in a row! Poppy improvises, adapts, and overcomes by transcending the audience on a dance journey of crumping and dropping it looooow like the ’00s babe she is, while the school cheers in awe. ![]() ![]() When Harriet thinks she is all high and mighty by attempting to sabotage Poppy’s slow dance with one of the guys from Magic Mike by changing the song to ‘Tambourine’ by Eve, the film reaches an echelon unheard of within teen rom-coms. This is where Poppy makes the ultimate power move and starts dancing with the headmistress’ son! Shock horror! Watching our rag-tag, British baayyybes strut through the halls of Abbey Mount school for girls, after a few glasses of cab sav, in their latest op-shop getups is such a moment.Īfter their absolutely RIDIC entrance to the ball, we reach the calm before the storm with Nelly Furtado’s sultry banger “Say It Right” gracing the Abbey Mount dancers. Let’s start with Ida Corr’s and Fedde le Grand’s masterpiece ‘Let Me Think About It’. Now to the greatest trio of tracks within a SINGLE SCENE to ever grace cinema screens. ‘Let Me Think About It’ – Ida Corr, Fedde Le Grand Look at these girls! Trying on hats! Being silly! Having #fun! Who wouldn’t want to try being a charitable KWEEN after watching this?ģ. Sugababes are the most overlooked girl group of our time (listen to ‘Push The Button’ again and tell me I’m wrong). I have the firm belief that this song and this scene is what catapulted thrift shopping into popularity. Who knew that lacrosse was going to make me twerk with my Macbook. Queen M.I.A features when Poppy has her first lacrosse lesson, as the Abbey Mount girls trot around the field with their sticks(?). Watching the girls tear up the lacrosse field made me actually want to play sports? Wild, I know. But it’s accompaniment with this scene, paired with the Abbey Mount Lacrosse Team’s pump-up dance, is legendary. Okay, this song isn’t on the digital soundtrack either and honestly on its own it’s trash.
