You could say the Troggs got as far away as possible here from their biggest hit, “Wild Thing.” This is such a gentle love song, isn’t it? One I sure remember from the jukebox at the swimming pool that summer. A remake by the British group Wet Wet Wet was #1 for 15 consecutive weeks on the UK charts in 1994 and was featured in “Four Weddings And A Funeral.” Troggs front man Reg Presley donated his songwriting royalties from the ‘94 record...to crop circle research.

This record has a terrific B-side: WHEN WILL THE RAIN COME?
A psychedelic-influenced anthem of an apocalyptic world-wide drought, presumably a first-person account of "the last survivor".
With such a macabre theme I guess it's understandable why it was the B-side.
