      There was an error parsing the following chordpro:
 {t:Wild Thing}
 {st:The Troggs}
 
 Pay attention to this - of the many tabs of this 1966 Troggs protopunker
 that I've seen on the net, this is the only one that gets the 'wild thing,
 I think I love you' break correct. Which is all the more amazing when
 you see how laughably simple it actually is.
 
 As Dave Marsh said in _The New Book of Rock Lists_: 'Based on their playing
 style, the Troggs [troglodytes, i.e. cave dwellers] in question would have
 to be considered Neanderthals - Cro-Magnons had art.' -- AWR
