Yeah, a guy called Chip Somebodyorother, I seem to recall.

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.
