Bow Wow Wow released one of their biggest hits "Go Wild in The Country" thirty years ago. The band really went wild in the country and the song reached #7 in the UK charts. It was their first top ten hit in the UK. The song was taken from the album 'See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang, Yeah. City All Over! Go Ape Crazy' which was produced by Malcolm McLaren and released in 1981. Enjoy their TOTP performance!
