Iggy Pop - Real wild Child (Wild one)
In 1986 Iggy Pop sang “I’m a Wild One” but the “Real Wild Child” is Johnny O’ Keefe. O’ Keefe recorded the song in 1958 and it’s often said that this was the birth of Australian rock and roll.
O'Keefe and the Dee Jay's played one night in an upstairs venue while an Italian wedding was going on downstairs. Halfway through the evening, both groups came to blows in the men’s toilet and within minutes there was a riot in the streets of Newton, Sidney.
According to Clinton Walker, the Australian writer, this was the inspiration for the song.
