In 2008, "Wild Thing" was ranked number 39 on Vh1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop. It also peaked at number 21 on the UK Singles Chart. It eventually sold over two million copies. It inspired at least two parodies (the Gilligan's Island-themed "Isle Thing" by "Weird Al" Yankovic, which was Yankovic's first rap parody and " Child King" by Christian band ApologetiX). Tone Lōc's song peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1989, only behind Paula Abdul's breakthrough hit " Straight Up".
According to producer Mario Caldato Jr., who engineered and mixed the song, producer Michael Ross was inspired by an utterance of Fab 5 Freddy “Come on baby let’s do the wild thing" in Spike Lee's She's Gotta Have It, and asked Young MC to write the lyrics. The title is a reference to the phrase "doin' the wild thing," a euphemism for sex. " Wild Thing" is a single by American rapper Tone Lōc from his 1989 album Lōc-ed After Dark.
