'Wild Thing' (UK no. 2, US no. 1) showed there was room for primitivism amidst the rococo, and no beat group was more primitive than the Troggs. Their manager Larry Page considered them so lacking in charisma and grace that he renamed the singer and drummer after the two most stylish people he could think of - Elvis Presley and James Bond.
...Reg Presley also turned out to be a literal poster boy for Michelle Pfeiffer - his was the only poster she had on her teenage wall.
