"The Wild Life" is a song written and performed by English girl group Bananarama.

Written in two days, the track was composed for and included in the 1984 American film of the same name The Wild Life (starring Christopher Penn), and on its soundtrack.

The Bananarama track listing was reverted to its original sequence shortly thereafter and "The Wild Life" did not appear on CD until the 2002 hits package The Essentials.

This video marked a break with their earlier work as it didn't attempt to create a storyline, and focused on them performing the song, accompanied by various images.

Sure to get important exposure from the film, 'The Wild Life' should be another top- charting Single for the group, with special appeal on hit radio and new music formats.
