"Watching the Wildlife" is the seventh and last single by British pop band Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Released on 23 February 1987, it is taken from the album Liverpool. Of the three singles culled from Liverpool, "Watching the Wildlife" is the most radio-friendly, lacking the rocky sound of "Rage Hard" and "Warriors of the Wasteland". However, the single only reached number 28 on the UK Singles Chart and #23 in Germany. It is also the only one of the three Liverpool singles not to have a CD single release at that time and the mix used on the 7" vinyl single has never appeared on a UK issued compact disc, but a German 4-track single was bundled with the Bang!/Hard On CD/DVD set and apparently contains the mix in question, said mix also features on Frankie Said, Salvo's "best of" offering f

  • "Watching the Wildlife" is the seventh and last single by British pop band Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Released on 23 February 1987, it is taken from the album Liverpool. Of the three singles culled from Liverpool, "Watching the Wildlife" is the most radio-friendly, lacking the rocky sound of "Rage Hard" and "Warriors of the Wasteland". However, the single only reached number 28 on the UK Singles Chart and #23 in Germany. It is also the only one of the three Liverpool singles not to have a CD single release at that time and the mix used on the 7" vinyl single has never appeared on a UK issued compact disc, but a German 4-track single was bundled with the Bang!/Hard On CD/DVD set and apparently contains the mix in question, said mix also features on Frankie Said, Salvo's "best of" offering from 2012. The 1988 Record Collector magazine discography of the band contains a listing for a UK CD single, complete with catalogue number, but this was an error based on assumption. To date, no original 1987 copy has come to light, not even in a promotional form, and can be safely disregarded as fiction. The 7" packaging made reference to animals, with a panda and dolphin on the sleeve. The cassette single made more references to sexual intercourse. To wit, the instrumental mix was dubbed "The Condom Mix" on the cassette single. The promotional condom that was to be distributed with each single would have stopped the single sales counting towards the UK charts as the official chart provider had introduced new rules to this effect, so the idea was abandoned. Promotional copies complete with the condom do exist, however. The single also features a track, "The Waves" on the B-side. (en)
