The lyrics on this track are quite quirky covering the familiar topic of resisting one’s urges: “The call of the wild is driving me crazy, bear with me baby. I’ll keep it together; I’ll keep it together,” The second track is the Gus Gus original version, which contains slower and eerier instrumentals especially at the start. The music resembles that which you would expect to be the soundtrack that accompanies a scary mission into the coldest and darkest recesses of the arctic. This is most certainly the best arrangement on the single with the song slowly building up, before the introduction of Daniel’s warm and welcoming vocals. Josh’s ‘Call of the Wink’ remix rounds matters off, though by the time this comes on you know every single lyric and get the impression that although it contains some intriguing distorted vocals to add a little variety, two versions of the song would have sufficed.
