Wild Thing. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it. The Trogg's wrote it, you probably own it. Did you know they also wrote a haunting, lullaby ode to doing your cousin?
Cousin Jane, is as beguiling as a single gets. It softly whispers the simple story of kissing cousins into your ear as gentle music boxes wind away in the dark while ominous pianos and cellos stab at your conscience.
Found on The Troggs forgotten album Trogglodynamite, the song was penned by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Dave Wright and manager Larry Page. I like to think of it as the dark underbelly to Wild Thing's starry eyed enthusiasm. Cousin Jane is a song found in the reflection of broken bottles littering the floor of the after party. Gorgeous, fractured, and essential.
