"The Wild Life" is a song written and performed by English
"The Wild Life" peaked at number 70 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and did not chart in any other countries. The Bananarama track listing was reverted to its original sequence shortly thereafter and "The Wild Life" did not appear on CD until the 2002 hits package The Essentials.
Music video
The music video was in light rotation on MTV in autumn 1984.[1] It features the girls performing the song in a studio filled with colourful fabrics that they play around with. Their footage is intercut with excerpts from the film and photographs of the group members.
This video marked a break with their earlier work as it didn't attempt to create a storyline, and focused on them performing the song, accompanied by various images.
