"Wild, Wild West" is a song by The Escape Club from their similarly named debut album, ''Wild Wild West''. The single hit the charts in late 1988 eventually reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of November 12, 1988, making The Escape Club the only British artist to have a No. 1 hit in America while never charting in the UK. The lyrics, with phrases such as "I love her eyes and her wild, wild hair," "heading for the '90s, living in the wild, wild west," are augmented with gunshot sound effects, and a section of phrases are performed in Spanish. Critics have noted that portions of the song bore a strong similarity to Elvis Costello's "Pump It Up" due to the distinct drum beat and vocal patterns during the verses. The music video is noted for using mirror imaging of actors to give the illusion of disembodied arms and legs. In 1989, Wally Wingert parodied it on the Dr. Demento radio show as "Adam West," in response to the casting of Michael Keaton as the title character for that year's Batman film. ==Single== * "Wild Wild West" - 3:59 * "We Can Run" - 3:40 The B-Side is previously unreleased. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wild, Wild West (The Escape Club song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
