Iggy Pop - Real Wild Child (Wild One) 1986

Johnny O'Keefe's song "Wild One" or "Real Wild Child" is an Australian rock and roll song written by Johnny Greenan, Johnny O'Keefe, and Dave Owens. The release date of the single, 5 July 1958, is considered the birth of Australian rock and roll. It was the first Australian rock recording to reach the national charts, peaking at number 20.

Iggy Pop covered the song on his seventh studio album, Blah-Blah-Blah (1986). The song was co-produced by David Bowie as well as having him on backing vocals. Titled "Real Wild Child (Wild One)", this became a number 10 hit on the UK Singles Chart in January 1987. In Canada it charted for 20 weeks despite never peaking higher than number 65 on the RPM Top Singles chart. It peaked at number 27 on the US Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. In New Zealand the song reached number 1 in June 1987, becoming Pop's biggest hit there. The Iggy Pop version was featured in the film Problem Child and Problem Child 2, Crocodile Dundee II, and Five Nights at Freddy's, as well as the 2022 series Pam & Tommy. The song was recorded again in 2008 by Iggy Pop who teamed up with Aussie rockers Jet, titled "The Wild One". It was released as a tribute to Johnny O'Keefe and peaked at number 56 on the ARIA Singles Chart.

Other covers include Jerry Allison with Buddy Holly backing him on guitar, Jerry Lee Lewis, Status Quo, Everlife, The Runaways, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Brian Setzer, Lee Rocker, Teenage Head, Sarah Harding, and Wakefield. Christopher Otcasek's version appeared on the soundtrack to the film Pretty Woman. It was also covered by the fictional band Josie and the Pussycats in the 2001 film of the same name.
