Iggy Pop - Real Wild Child (Wild One) + original by Johnny O'Keefe + cover by the Crickets

[highplainsdem]

The original, from Australian rocker Johnny O'Keefe -- and this was the first rock song to be a hit on the Australian charts, back in 1958:

The cover by Buddy Holly and the Crickets, with drummer Jerry Allison taking lead vocals (Buddy Holly on backing vocals), which was a minor hit (peaking at #68 in 1958):

I like Iggy's version best. But the others are interesting, and fun.

1. I can't decide which I like the most so that must mean

that the song is great no matter who sings it.

2. I think Jerry Lee Lewis' version beats them all.

3. All Four Versions are

really good and surprisingly different.
Iggy convinced me that he’s the real wild one though.
