Go Wild In the Country
Album: See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang Yeah! City All Over, Go Ape Crazy!
Year: 1981
Annabella Lwin, lead singer of Bow Wow Wow, prefers living like an animal in the forest in the eccentric "Go Wild In The Country."
Tribal drums start the single, setting a cutural tone. Lwin sulks that she doesn't like the people in the city. The atmosphere of the city turns her off. She doesn't have any intentions of her changing her mind about the people living there. She's going to look for somewhere else to live. She reiterates that she could never like the people in the city.
In the pre-chorus, she adds that she likes the coziness of the restraurants in the country. She wouldn't get her dinner from a fast food place. She'd rather invent her own games than buy them at a mega grocery/clothing/toy store. She also wouldn't any eat food from an overpriced place with plastic fish on the wall. She's also against suburban sprawl.
She screeches for people to go the country instead. Things are much more peaceful. She adds actual nature is there.
Parts of the first verse is repeated as well the second. Lwin believes she is capable of more than a regular joe city. In the country, she do whatever she wants. While she misses not being able to heat her chicken on the stove, she rather look for her own food.
After the chorus, she's says she's on the first flight out to the wilderness. She'd rather not wear clothes. People were born naked. It's the natural way to live.
After another chorus, she says she wants to eat outside. Food made inside makes her stomach upset.
There is one more chorus. Then she ends it with part of the pre-chorus.
"Go Wild In the Country" is bizarre from start to finish. It doesn't follow any form or structure. It meanders along on its own quirky formula. Nonetheless, it's annoying. Lwin's yells are repeated ad nauseaum. The solos last far longer than they should. Whenever the song appears to have ended, it starts right back up again.

"I don't like you, I don't like your town/I don't wanna like you, I'll shop around/I don't want you, I won't want your town/I don't wanna want you, I'll shop around, I'll shop around."

"I can get a train, I don't need no hamburgers/No take-away, I want my own game/No bacon steak, no strawberry milkshake, I wanna keep it/I'm sick of things sized to be working down these lonely streets."

"Wild, go wild, go wild in the country/Where snakes in the grass are absolutely free/Wild, go wild, go wild in the country/Where snakes in the grass are absolutely free."

"I don't know you, I won't know your town/I don't wanna know you, I'll shop around, I'll shop around/I can get a train, I don't need no hamburgers/No take-away, I want my own game/No bacon steak, no strawberry milkshake/I do better, well, I do better/Swing from the trees, naked in the breeze/But I got no boiled chicken, I wanna go hunting and fishing."
After the chorus, she's says she's on the first flight out to the wilderness. She'd rather not wear clothes. People were born naked. It's the natural way to live.
"I can get a plane, I don't need no suitcases, 'cos truth loves to go naked."
After another chorus, she says she wants to eat outside. Food made inside makes her stomach upset.
"I wanna picnic, 'cos I get sick/Got no boiled chicken, I wanna go hunting and fishing."
