"Wild Wild Life" was a single from the Talking Heads album "True Stories". It was released in 1986.

It was also covered by Wailing Souls for the 1993 movie "Cool Runnings".

Its music video won "Best Group Video" at the MTV Video Music Awards 1987, beating "With or Without You" by U2 and "Don't Dream It's Over" by Crowded House, among others. The music video was taken from the film "True Stories", with some additional content added.

John Goodman, in an early role, appeared in both the film and MTV versions of the video. The B-side of this single features him singing the song from the film "People Like Us."

The Talking Heads version was featured in trailers for the 2006 animated film "Over the Hedge", and also in the beginning of another animated film, "Open Season" and is included on the soundtrack CD.
