Iggy Pop - Real Wild Child (with lyrics)

I was never a fan of Iggy Pop's music, or his raw, outrageous stage antics or but I did like this song back in 1986 when it was popular here in the United States and had fun creating the video. It is a fun dancable pop-rock song with a good beat and reminiscent of that 80's style that I love.
"Wild One" or "Real Wild Child" is an Australian song written by Johnny Greenan, Johnny O'Keefe, and Dave Owens.
In 1958 the song was released as a single by Jerry Ivan Allison, a member of The Crickets, using the name Ivan. Retitled "Real Wild Child,"
It was recorded and released as "Real Wild Child" by Jet Harris, former bassist with The Shadows, in 1962 on Harris' self titled EP. A further version, "Real Wild Child (Wild One)" was recorded by British guitarist, Albert Lee, on his 1982 self-titled album.
The song was again covered in 1986 when Iggy Pop included a version on his album Blah Blah Blah. Titled "Real Wild Child (Wild One). The Iggy Pop version was featured in the films Crocodile Dundee II, Adventures in Babysitting, Problem Child and its sequel Problem Child 2.
The song was subsequently covered by Billy Idol in 1987, followed by Lou Reed in 1993. Other artists to record this song include Status Quo, Everlife, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Glamour Camp, Marshall Crenshaw, Brian Setzer, Teenage Head, Polysics, Albert Lee and Wakefield. A cover by Christopher Otcasek appeared on the soundtrack to the film Pretty Woman
Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding also recorded a version of the song for the soundtrack to the 2008 film Wild Child.

I remember this song was my very first earworm as a kid. The first time I heard it on my dad's stereo system, I just had to listen to it again and again.
