The song was a hit in the UK, reaching number 19 in the UK Singles Chart."Get Wild" is a funk song, in the style of Parliament and Funkadelic. The lead vocals are by Prince who delivers a rap during the bridge, and some Spanish vocals are provided by Mayte. A maxi-single was released with several remixes of the song. A remix of "Get Wild" was played in the 1994 film, Prêt-à-Porter and was included on the soundtrack album. A video featuring cameo scenes with Lolly Pop and various others was shot at Glam Slam Minneapolis, but was shelved by Warner Brothers. Prince's rap from "Get Wild" was later reused in a promotional remix of the Gold Experience track, "P. Control". The B-side of the single was another album track, the psychedelic "Hallucination Rain". This mid-tempo track is mainly spoken but builds into a soaring crescendo of noise and thundering drums in which Prince's voice can be clearly heard at the end. The single also includes the song, "Beautiful Girl", a remix of Prince's 1994 hit, "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World".

Get wild! Ah! 
Get wild! Ooh, ooh, baby! 

Get wild! {x4} 

When you're sick of that 9 2 5 
And you're ready 2 come alive 
When you look both high and low 
And you can't find a trumpet that blows 

Come on, baby (Aw shucks!), where the good times never die 
Come on, baby (Aw shucks!), where the damsels good and fly 
Come on, baby, you can shake your funky monkey till it cry 
Polyvinyl acetate will keep your monkey high 
If you wanna get real freaky, now's the time 2 try (Come on y'all) 

CHORUS: 
Get wild! - Everybody up in the place 
Get wild! - It don't matter what sex or race 
Get wild! - All you nasty girls and boys 
If you wanna get wild, say yeah (Yeah!) - Make some noise! 

When you want 2 get in the groove 
But the music don't make you move 
Hip the DJ 2 a new CD 
Anything by the N.P.G. 

Come on, baby (Aw shucks!), where the good times never die 
Come on, baby (Aw shucks!), where the damsels good and fly 
Come on, baby, you can shake your funky monkey till it cry 
Polyvinyl acetate will keep your monkey high 
If you wanna get real freaky, now's the time 2 try (Come on y'all) 

CHORUS 

Get wild! - like you know you need 2 
Pick a funky outfit short and see-through 
Versace got it going on in the gold mesh 
Won't you try it on 2 night when you get dressed? 
Get Wild's the only aroma that my nose'll see (Get wild!) 
Won't you spray a little where you think I'm gonna be? 
And you know, you know what shoes 2 wear 
The ones so high you're scared 

Ououo, peligro que aqui yo vengo! {Oh oh, danger 4 here I come!} 
(Get wild!) 

When you can't find the G 2 your GO 
Even charged, your battery's low 
When the smoke's 2 thick 2 blow 
There's a brand new high we know 

Come on, baby (Aw shucks!), where the good times never die 
Come on, baby (Aw shucks!), where the damsels good and fly 
Come on, baby, you can shake your funky monkey till it cry 
Polyvinyl acetate will keep your monkey high 
If you wanna get real freaky, now's the time 2 try (Come on y'all) 

Get wild! - Everybody up in the place, yes 
Get wild! - It don't matter what sex or race 
Get wild! - All you nasty girls and boys (Get wild!) 
If you wanna get wild, say yeah (Yeah!) - Make some noise! 

Get wild! (Shake it!) 
Shake your money maker 
Get wild! (Shake it!) 
Shake your money maker 
Get wild! (Shake it!) (Shake it!) 
Shake your money maker 
Get wild! 

(Get, get ...) 
Come on, get wild!
