No, Jimi Hendrix did not originally sing "Wild Thing." The song was written by Chip Taylor and first recorded by The Wild Ones in 1965, but it gained significant popularity when covered by The Troggs. Hendrix famously performed a cover of "Wild Thing" at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, which is often credited with bringing the song to a wider audience.

The Troggs sung it originally. Wild Thing" is a hit song written by New York-born songwriter Chip Taylor and originally recorded by The Wild Ones in 1965. The song is probably best known for its 1966 cover by the English band The Troggs, which reached the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in July 1966. The song charted one position lower in Britain, reaching #2. The song has remained popular ever since The Troggs' hit single, and has been covered again many times — perhaps most notably by Jimi Hendrix, whose stage performance of the song was featured in the 1967 documentary Monterey Pop. However, Hendrix never recorded the song in the studio.
