See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang Yeah! City All Over! Go Ape Crazy!

Bow Wow Wow were created by Malcolm Mclaren in 1981 featuring ex Adam and the Ants members and the youthful Annabella Lwin. The debut album features the hit single “Go Wild In The Country”. The January 1982 release coincided with McLaren's "Nostalgia of Mud" phase, in which he intended "to show in clothes and music that, in the post-industrial age, the roots of our culture lie in primitive societies". Its lyrics convey many of the themes of this ideology, with references to disdain for town life, lonely streets and takeaway food, and a desire to go "wild in the country/where snakes in the grass are absolutely free".
