The Troggs are widely seen as a highly influential band whose sound was one inspiration for garage rock and punk rock.

A recording of Phair's version of " Wild Thing " ( based on the melody of The Troggs song ) was planned for inclusion, but dropped at the last moment.

Taylor's best-known songs are " Wild Thing ," which, though originally recorded in 1965 by Jordan Christopher & The Wild Ones, became famous as both a 1966 hit single for The Troggs and a 1967 live performance by Jimi Hendrix, and " Angel of the Morning ," a hit for Merrilee Rush in 1968, and then a million-selling single in 1981 for country-pop singer Juice Newton.

This was a cover of a song by The Troggs which Spacemen 3 had demoed in 1988 during their Playing With Fire sessions.

In 1994, Wet Wet Wet had their biggest hit, a cover version of the Troggs single " Love Is All Around ", which was a huge international success and spent fifteen weeks atop the British charts.

The band reformed later that year, with former Plastic Penny bassist Tony Murray replacing Staples, and in 1974, after a spell on Pye Records, in an attempt to re-create their 1960s successes, the Troggs re-united with Larry Page, now running Penny Farthing Records.

For example, the Troggs influenced artists such as Iggy Pop, and the early version of British pop-punk pioneers Buzzcocks featured " I Can't Control Myself " in their live repertoire.

" The Troggs " was the name of the high school gang in the movie Bang Bang, You're Dead, who persuade the main character to join them in attacking their high school.

Some of this dialogue was sampled by the California punk band The Dwarves on their recording of a cover version of the Troggs song, " Strange Movies ".

Monsters found there are the Axe and Spear-bearing Troggs as well as their War Beasts.

Page One Records stalwarts The Troggs were persuaded to join Penny Farthing but their label debut, Page's attempt at the Beach Boys hit " Good Vibrations " with Reg Presley's vocals, did not produce sizeable sales.

The Rolling Stones recorded their first single " Come On " at Olympic, a number of Dusty Springfield hits and The Troggs successful single " Wild Thing ", were also the result of recording sessions at Olympic, during the forty year history of this studio.

* 1943 – Reg Presley, English singer-songwriter ( The Troggs )

Fronted by Reg Presley, the Troggs were from the town of Andover in southern England and were originally called the Troglodytes.

In January 2012, after over 40 years of touring, Reg Presley retired due to lung cancer, apparently ending the Troggs.

An in-studio tape of Reg Presley's running commentary on a recording session, filled with in-fighting and swearing ( known as " The Troggs Tapes "), was widely circulated in the music underground, and was included in the Archaeology box set, as well as the compilation album, The Rhino Brothers Present the World's Worst Records.

... " I Want You Right Now " sounds exactly ( down to the lyrics ) like a song called " I Want You " by the Troggs, a British group who came on with a similar sex-and-raw-sound image a couple of years ago ( remember " Wild Thing "?

That year, SNL parodied the Troggs Tapes with a medieval musical sketch featuring Shaffer, Bill Murray, Harry Shearer, and a " special guest appearance " by John Belushi ( who had left the show the previous spring ).

The double disc official release, entitled Forged Prescriptions, comprised alternate mixes of the original album tracks together with previously unreleased alternate versions, demos and covers ( e. g. The Spades ' " We Sell Soul " and The Troggs ' " I Want You ") from the same studio sessions.

The first Spiritualized release, in 1990, was a cover of The Troggs ' " Anyway That You Want Me "; the record heralded the official split of Spacemen 3 following contractual wrangles over the band's name and its use in Spiritualized-related promotional material ( initial copies of " Anyway That You Want Me " came with a Spacemen 3 logo on the sleeve ).

They appeared with other artists from the same era, such as Gerry & the Pacemakers, The Troggs and Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits.

He produced such hits as " Wild Thing " along with all the other hits by The Troggs.

The band did a single tour of the U. S. East Coast, followed by a number of performances in the Southwest U. S., with a record of mixed success, including shows with The Troggs, The Velvet Underground and at Bill Graham's Fillmore East, but rapidly came apart after a short period of time over creative and other differences.
