Peaches & Tone Loc: Just a Coupla "Wild Things"
By David Hershkovits
Don't you love a marriage made in heaven? That's what the press release calls the collaboration/remix of Tone Loc's "Wild Thing" by Peaches. I can't really argue with that.
The occasion for this unlikely pairing, captured here on video from a performance in Berlin, is the 20th anniversary of the release, which was, believe it or not, once the fastest selling single in music history. A full slate of Delicious Vinyl's classic records by Young MC, The Pharcyde, Masta Ace, The Brand New Heavies, Def Jef, Born Jamericans, and Fatlip re-imagined by Hot Chip, Spank Rock, Diplo, Bonde Do Role, A-Trak, Ed Banger's Mr. Flash & DJ Medhi is also in the works. Each release will be available on limited edition vinyl, launched with a special DV Twenty Years Fresh party in select cities worldwide. (Stay tuned for dates and locations to be announced soon.) The tracks will be part of a triple vinyl full-length album slated for release in 2008.

hmm...i know you say berlin, but i have a sneaking suspicion that at least some of this footage comes from a party in LA.
