Its title track offers a socially conscious anthem about the consequences of climate change, as a rash of alarming trends sweep the land: “temperatures plummeting to 12 below at the equator, a dry spell across South America’s tropical rain forests and fire along the Polar ice caps.”
The song also includes a nod to Al Gore’s “Alliance for Climate Protection,” in the lyric, “Al sends regards, he said he is going out of his mind/The sun is shining in the middle of a quiet Carthage night,” referring to his Tennessee hometown. In hand, 10% of the song’s proceeds from iTunes will be donated to Gore’s foundation.
In addition, the force field of cacophonous percussion and insistent beats in “Wild” were such an inspiration for Tinatin and Sahin that he remixed the title track into a frenetic dance floor paean. This version, included on the EP, will be released to DJs/clubs in June. Videoclips for both were lensed by Christopher Holmes/ Holmeswood Features.

WILD
Back in the days of the radio
I’d buy LPs in a local store
Play my records on the stereo
Why why so long ago
Here in the age of the satellites
There’s so much I don’t recognize
What’s become of our paradise
Why why, what an easy crime
CHORUS1:
I got the news
Flooding through the mail from friends
Natasha says the winter is so wild and hot
In Leningrad
Finding dates through cyber space
Making love is a click away
Dinners served from a microwave
It’s wild wild to live a modern life
Gone are the days of the radio
I don’t buy music in a local store
I don’t play my records on the stereo
It’s gone gone so long ago
CHORUS2:
Al sends regards
He said he is going out of his mind
The sun is shining in the middle of a quiet Carthage night
It’s wild wild wild wild
Rain’s pouring down in a desert on the sand
Eshref says snow fall on a pyramid is wild wild wild
"We interrupt this song for an urgent weather bulletin!
Temperatures have plummetted to 12 below 0 centigrade-at the Equator!
Meanwhile, there's an intense dry spell sweeping across South Americas
tropical rain forests!
And this just in. There's a raging fire burning everything in sight-along the Polar ice caps!"
CHORUS3:
I got the news
Flooding through the mail from friends
Jorgen says the winter is so wild and hot
In Legoland
Christmas in Rome
Feels like summer on the beach
Maria saw the Santa surfing winter tide
It’s wild wild wild
