I'm paraphrasing a line spoken by the Rachel Phelps character in the still popular baseball comedy "Major League". One memorable aspect of the song was the 80's cover of "Wild Thing", which was the music that Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn came out to. Not only was it used EXTREMELY well by Japanese mixed martial arts fighter Genki Sudo for a fight vs. Butterbean (yes, that Butterbean), but you briefly hear the song in the new DirecTV commercial that has Charlie Sheen reprising the character to shill that service.
The thing is, though, if you look through the file sharing services you always see that the singer of that version of the song is Joan Jett; sure, it doesn't NOT sound like her, but trust me, it isn't, despite what you may see online. It instead is by the band X. Hopefully this and this will dispel that myth in you, the reader's, minds. While I can't tell you why it's impossible to find the shorter single version of the song, or why the long version of the song I'm posting fades out at around the 3:15 mark only to kick into gear again at 3:20 as if it was a fan-made edit to the tune, you'll have to excuse those anomalies, as it's an awesome cover of a 60's classic.
