Celebrating 40+ Years of WILD THING

Originally released in 1984 as a non-album single, produced by Michael Wagner, the song went on to share the screen, most famously as Charlie Sheen’s character, Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn, walked onto the mound, in the movie Major League. It’s continued to be used as walkout songs for professional wrestlers Atushi Onita and Jon Moxley, as well as Los Angeles Dodgers stars, Shohei Ohtani and Joe Kelly.

Watch a brand new video narrated by Exene walking us through the Curious History of X’s WILD THING.
