Holly, Buddy - Real Wild Child Lyrics






Well, I'm just out of school
Like I'm real, real cool
Gotta dance like a fool
Got the message that I've gotta be a wild
I'm a wild one, ooh yay, I'm a wild one
Gonna break loose
Gonna keep a-movin' wild
Gonna keep a-swingin'
Baby I'm a real wild child

Gonna meet all my friends
Gonna have myself a ball
Gonna tell my friends
Gonna tell them all
That I'm a wild one, ooh yay, I'm a wild one
Gonna break loose
Gonna keep a-movin' wild
Gonna keep a-swingin'
Baby I'm a real wild child

Well, I'm a real wild one
And I like wild fun
In a world gone crazy
Ev'rything seems hazy
I'm a wild one, ooh yay, I'm a wild one
Gonna break loose
Gonna keep a-movin' wild
Gonna keep a-swingin'
Baby I'm a real wild child

Not a doubt, not a maybe
I'm a real wild child
Don't-cha pout, my baby
When I start a-runnin' wild
'Cause I'm a wild one, ooh yay, I'm a wild one
Gonna break loose
Gonna keep a-movin' wild
Gonna keep a-swingin'
Baby I'm a real wild child

[Spoken:]
Wanna know my name?
I'm a wild child
Nothin' tame about this Ted
I'm a wild child
You bet, I'm a wild child

Holly, Buddy Real Wild Child Comments
  1. R.... D....

    Seriously, listen to Johnny O'Keefe's original version and he wrote it! Or Joan Jett's version.

  2. J.... G....

    Iggy Pop's this and all of the other versions!

    J.... G....

    check out Status Quo's !!!

  3. S.... d....

    My late father loved Buddy Holly, played a few of his songs at his funeral

  4. R.... P....

    Lead vocal by Ivan - Jerry Ivan Allison. Buddy Holly on lead guitar.
    Buddy sounds funny.9 Now there's a title.

  5. d.... ....

    This is nothing compared to tge Jerry Lee's version!!
    came from This Boy's Life

  6. d.... f....

    SO... Iggy Pop did not do the original ??????
    就这个版本最好
    Ivan sounds like Peter Lorre!
    This is nothing compared to tge Jerry Lee's version!!
    This is nothing compared to tge Jerry Lee's version!!

    d.... f....

    the Original .. 1958 Johnny O'Keefe an Australian .

  7. d.... a....

    就这个版本最好
    Ivan sounds like Peter Lorre!
    This is nothing compared to tge Jerry Lee's version!!

  8. E.... E....

    The guitar in the song playing staccato with no words is the one of the best guitar solos I’ve ever heard. I never knew until today that Buddy Holly played this song! Love him

  9. W.... B....

    This isn't Buddy Holly (singing.) It is Jerry Allison, the Crickets Drummer. Yes, the band is the Crickets, and the lead guitarist IS Buddy Holly. But Jerry Allison (as "Ivan") is singing the song. Please attribute the song correctly. (Yes, I love it. First heard it in 1958, when this version came out.)

  10. D.... B....

    I've heard so msny versions of this song, this one is the corniest. The best version is Iggy Pop.

  11. A.... M....

    This is nothing compared to tge Jerry Lee's version!!

    A.... M....

    Jerry Lee's nothing compared to Iggy Pop's version.

  12. B.... Y....

    Ivan sounds like Peter Lorre!

  13. H.... C....

    Can't get enough of this. Just love Buddy's guitar style on this, very full and distinctive.
    Would have been interesting to see how he would have done lead vocals but at least he is on backjng and guitar. Love it.
    I had to search high and low for this and found it on Amazon and ordered it.
    Ordered just cause of Buddy's guitar playing. 😁😁

    H.... C....

    Not buddy on guitar

  14. B.... B....

    Strait from the soundtrack of this boy's life with Leonardo DiCaprio. Awesome flick man.

  15. k.... w....

    came from This Boy's Life

  16. A.... G....

    Love it

  17. B.... D....

    I like this version over the original, not that Johnny O'Keefe is bad, far from it. I just like the way this is done. And it sure sound's like Buddy singing to me.

    B.... D....

    NOT buddy singing-but he is the lead guitar

  18. T.... D....

    Buddy sounds funny.9 Now there's a title.

    T.... D....

    BUddy Background singer on this record and lead guitar. Drummer is singing

  19. B.... S....

    The coolest nerd of all time. He sang this straight out of his nostrils.

    B.... S....

    At the time, those "be-bop" - popularized by Dizzy Gillespie - glasses were by no means "nerdy." They were totally hip. And Buddy Holly was neither a nerd nor the singer of this song. His drummer, under his middle name, Ivan, sang it. Buddy played guitar.

  20. S.... M....

    This aint Buddy!!!Fake.

    S.... M....

    Please ; Post a Buddy version. Never ever have heard it !!
    Cheers

    S.... M....

    Sally Mendoza its his former drummer

    S.... M....

    The guitar and the production are Buddy Holly. So, not fake.

    S.... M....

    Not fake.
    Lead vocals are produced by his drummer and best friend Jerry Allison and you can clearly hear Buddy in the background vocals.
    And i also believe he plays lead guitar on this.

    S.... M....

    Buddy on guitar. Jerry Allison sang it. But you can hear Buddy in the background. Not fake. It's the guy who posted it who's at fault. Should have titled it Jerry Allison aka Ivan

  21. D.... S....

    Anybody want to tell this guy that it is actually Ivan (Jerry Allison) singing instead of Buddy Holly. The Crickets had already broke up when Ivan released it.

    D.... S....

    This is Jerry Allison not Buddy Holly. Jerry Allison was the drummer for Buddy Holly & the Crickets. The Crickets didn't break up, but Jerry Allison did record the song after Buddy Holly died.

    D.... S....

    Jerry Allison .... for sure.

    D.... S....

    Was recorded with Buddy but not released until later.

    D.... S....

    Buddy is playing guitar on this.... but it IS Jerry singing.

    D.... S....

    Thanks for the info! I seriously thought I was going crazy for thinking this didn't sound like Buddy at all. Lol

  22. C.... H....

    I think I'm addicted to this song, I've played it over 100 times today

  23. A.... B....

    SO... Iggy Pop did not do the original ??????

    A.... B....

    Actually it was Johnny O'Keefe ! Despite this being a great rendition, it is not the original either.

    A.... B....

    I thought this was an Iggy original too! I learned something new .

    A.... B....

    Hell no.

    A.... B....

    The Original was by Johnny O'Keefe 1957. Johnny O'Keefe is an Australian singer, and is credited as co-write of the song.

    A.... B....

    not even close

  24. A.... ....

    就这个版本最好

  25. G.... B....
