Dave Swanson (from ultimate classic rock blog)
Strange that a song about a group sex porn film didn't soar to the top of the
charts! 'Strange Movies' is, subject matter aside, one of the Troggs' most
powerful singles. Released in 1972, the song combines the ragged and raw
approach of the best material from the previous decade and cranks it up
with a bit of the glam swagger of T. Rex. The bastard son of '20th Century
Boy' and 'Wild Thing,' if you will. Loud guitars and pounding drums are
aided and abetted by snarling and grunting vocals. Pure gold!
WIKIPEDIA
The Troggs are widely seen as a highly influential band whose sound
was an inspiration for garage rock and punk rock. Influential American
critic Lester Bangs "called the band the progenitors of punk", according
to NPR. For example, the Troggs influenced artists such as Iggy Pop,
and the early version of British pop-punk pioneers Buzzcocks featured
"I Can't Control Myself" in their live repertoire. The Ramones are also
amongst punk bands who cited the Troggs as an influence. "I Can't Control
Myself" is perhaps the most enduring favorite of critics; it continues to be
championed for its originality and lasting influence by radio hosts such as
"Little" Steven Van Zandt.
The MC5 covered "I Want You" at their live shows and recorded the song
for the album Kick Out the Jams, although they renamed it "I Want You
Right Now".
The Jimi Hendrix Experience famously covered "Wild Thing" during their
appearance at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, introducing it as the
British/American joint "national anthem", and climaxing with Hendrix
burning his guitar.
