The Troggs led the Billboard Hot 100 and the Cashbox Best Sellers chart with their version of "Wild Thing". The song had been issued by a New York band called The Wild Ones last November, but it failed to chart. Troggs' Lead singer Reg Presley would later say that after hearing the song for the first time, he was hesitant to record it because the words were "so corny." Their rendition was ranked at number 257 on Rolling Stone magazine's 2004 list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
