Video: Tone Loc and Peaches: "Wild Thing (Peaches RMX)"

Dan Leroy's book Paul's Boutique goes into some detail about the origins of Delicious Vinyl, the independent hip-hop label founded in L.A. by Matt Dike (he later worked on the the Beastie Boys record and was an associate of the Dust Brothers) and Michael Ross. The L.A. scene during the late 1980s was weird and exciting, and it's worth a read. Delicious Vinyl was huge there for a few years, with smash singles from Tone Loc and Young MC, along with some awesome records by the Pharcyde a bit later. To celebrate their 20th anniversary, Delicious Vinyl commissioned Peaches to remix the iconic "Wild Thing", and here's a video her and Loc rocking the tune at a label party. The whole thing is goofy and way over the top-- hey, it's Peaches and Ton Loc, what do you expect?-- which suits the song perfectly. Bucky Fukumoto directs.
