This song was originally recorded by Australian rocker Johnny O'Keefe with The Deejays in 1958 as "Wild One." Deejays saxophonists Johnny Greenan and Dave Owens drafted the song over drinks after a particularly wild concert and Johnny O'Keefe later chipped in. The song was an immediate hit and made Johnny O'Keefe the first Australian rock'n'roller to reach the national charts. Buddy Holly and the Crickets heard the song while touring Australia and their drummer, Jerry Allison cut his own version using the name "Ivan," when he returned to the States, renaming it "Real Wild Child." Other versions were recorded by artists such as Jerry Lee Lewis, then in 1986 hard rock pioneer Iggy Pop covered it for his Blah Blah Blah album. Released as a single, it became his only UK Top 10 hit. |
