Notes[]
- The song was originally performed by Johnny O'Keefe in 1958 as "Wild One", but the title was changed in 1962 to "Real Wild Child" by Jet Harris of the group The Shadows. Iggy Pop then combined the two on his own cover of the song, releasing it as "Real Wild Child (Wild One)".
- A cover version was included in Julia Roberts' 1989 movie Pretty Woman.
