Yeah, a guy called Chip Somebodyorother, I seem to recall.
Wild Thing was originally recorded by 'Jordan Christopher & The Wild Ones' from New York City.

Ha ha ha.
Mark Ronson isn't the son of Mick Ronson. I mean, fucking hell, I've even perpetuated that myth in print myself on a couple of occasions, till I found out the other day. How embarrassing.
It's a misconception the producer hasn't gone out of his way to dispel, though, because it served him well in his early days.

I heard (and believed) he was heir to the Ronson lighter fortune, which is even worse.

Here comes the myth according to Dave Marsh: Wild Thing was reputedly written in fifteen minutes the back of a taxi for Rat Pack bicycle and full-time Hollywood Squares contestant Joey Heatherton. At the time Chip ****** swore her to secrecy, he figured his reputation as a songwriter would be toast if anyone found out he was responsible. Dunno when he changed his mind but I'll bet he's glad he did.

The Eagles' New Kid in Town is apparently about Hall and Oates, whom the Eagles' manager warned, were going to knock them off their perch.
