The Fat Spy features, in fact, opens with, the band the Wild Ones. Before the opening credits even begin. The Wild Ones were led by Jordan Christopher who is a romantic lead in the film and later starred in Angel Angel Down We Go.
The Wild Ones were the first band to record Wild Thing before British Invasion band, the Troggs took it to the top of the charts.
After Richard Burton dumped his wife, Sybil, for Liz Taylor, she married Jordan Christopher. She ran a nightclub in NYC where the Wild Things would play. It was a discotheque called Arthur. The couple stayed married until he died in 1996.
The Wild Ones have a soft spot in my heart also for performing the theme to “Lord Love a Duck.”
