"Wild Thing" is a song written by Chip Taylor. Originally recorded by American band The Wild Ones in 1965, "Wild Thing" is best known for its 1966 cover by the English band The Troggs, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July 1966. The song peaked at No. 2 in Britain.
The song is in the key of A major, and is based around the chord progression (I - IV - V - IV), which is the basis for the main riff. Also the instrumental parts during the chorus are in key with the rest of the song. However, the guitars are not strictly tuned to middle C in the Troggs' version and the slightly sharp tuning causes the chords to actually be midway between A and Bb. This has mystified many guitar players trying to play along with the record. It has been suggested that The Troggs did this as a joke. As a side note, the middle eight was originally someone whistling, but in The Troggs' version this was replaced by Colin Fretcher, musical director, playing an ocarina.
The song caused some controversy for sampling Van Halen for a very low cost. The band was later given a larger payment after a court case. The song was remixed in 2007 with additional production and vocals from Peaches.
"Überlin" is a song by American alternative rock band R.E.M.. It was released as the second single from their fifteenth and final studio album Collapse into Now on January 25, 2011.
Berlin is a 2009 documentary series co-developed by the BBC and the Open University. Written and presented by Matt Frei, the series has three 60-minute episodes, each dealing with a different aspect of the history of Germany's capital city.
Episodes
Episode 1 – "Dangerous Ideas"
Using the life and posthumous legacy of Frederick the Great as its central theme, this episode covers some of the most notable political, social and cultural movements to emerge within Berlin over the past two centuries.
Episode 2 – "Ruined Visions"
From the advent of the former Berliner Stadtschloss to the Palast der Republik which for a time took its place, from the creation of the Bauakademie to that of the Olympic Stadium, and from the rise of the Fernsehturm to the rejuvenation of the Reichstag, this episode looks at the varied periods of construction, destruction and renewal seen in the architecture of the city of Berlin.
Episode 3 – "Ich bin ein Berliner"
Turning to look at the legacy which history has placed upon the people of Berlin – and that which Berliners themselves have offered in turn – this episode charts the tumultuous eras which the city has endured, for good or ill, through the course of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Let's do it Workin' all week 9 to 5 for my money So when the weekend comes I go get live with the honey Rollin' down the street I saw this girl and she was pumpin' I winked my eye she got into the ride went to a club was jumpin' Introduce myself as Loc she said "You're a liar" I said "I got it goin' on baby doll and I'm on fire" Took her to the hotel she said "You're the king" I said "Be my queen if you know what I mean and let us do the wild thing Wild thing (x2) Shoppin' at the mall looking for some gear to buy I saw this girl she cool rocked my world and I had to adjust my fly She looked at me and smiled and said "You have plans for the night" I said "Hopefully if things go well I'll be with you tonight" So we journeyed to her house one thing led to an other I keyed the door we cold hit the floor looked up and it was her mother I didn't know what to say I was hanging by a string She said "Hey you two I was once like you and I liked to do the wild thing" Wild thing She loved to do the wild thing Wild thing Please baby baby please Posse in effect hangin' out is always hype And when me and the crew leave the shindig I want a girl who's just my type Saw this luscious little frame I ain't lyin' fellas she was fine The sweet young miss go gave me a kiss and I knew that she was mine Took her to the limousine still parked outside I tipped the chauffeur when it was over and I gave her my own ride Couldn't get her off my jack she was like static cling But that's what happens when body start slappin' from doin' the wild thing Wild thing She wanna do the wild thing Please baby baby please Wild thing Doin' a little show at the local discotheque This fine youg chick was on my jack so I say what the heck She want to come on stage and do her little dance So I said chill for now but maybe later you'll get your chance So when the show was finished I took her around the way And what do you know she was good to go without a word to say We was all alone and she said "Tone let me tell you one thing I need $50 to make you holler I get paid to do the wild thing" Say what Yo love you must be kidding You're walkin' babe Just break out of here Hasta la vista baby Wild thing
