Chris Isaak - Wicked Game (1989) Movie [Wild At Heart] 1990

Chris Isaak aka Christopher Joseph Isaak is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist and occasional actor. Noted for his reverb-laden rockabilly revivalist style and wide vocal range.

Wicked Game is a tale of obsessive love.
Chris Isaak : "This one I wrote really late at night and it was written in a short time, because I remember that a girl had called me and said, 'I want to come over and talk to you,' and 'talk' was a euphemism. And she said, 'I want to come over and talk to you until you're no longer able to stand up.' And I said, 'Okay, you're coming over.' And as soon as I hung up I thought, 'Oh, my God. I know she's gonna be trouble. She's always been trouble. She's a wildcat. And here I am, I'm going to get killed, but I'm doing this.' And I wrote 'Wicked Game': 'world's on fire and no one can save me but you.' It's like you start thinking about it, and by the time she came over to the house, I had the song written. And I think she was probably upset because I was more excited by the song. (Laughing) I was like, 'Yes, you're gorgeous, baby. But listen to this song!'"

Wicked Game es una historia de amor obsesivo.
Chris Isaak habló sobre el evento nocturno que inspiró la canción:"La escribí muy tarde por la noche y la terminé muy pronto, porque recuerdo que una chica me llamó y me dijo: 'Quiero ir a hablar contigo", y" hablar "era un eufemismo.
Y ella dijo: "Quiero ir a hablar contigo hasta que ya no seas capaz de ponerte de pie." Y yo dije, 'Bueno, va a volver otra vez.
Y tan pronto como colgué pensé, 'Oh, Dios mío. Sé que va a haber problemas. Ella siempre ha sido un problema. Ella es un gato salvaje.
Y aquí estoy, voy a morir, pero yo voy a hacer esto. Y escribí "Wicked Game": El mundo está en llamas y nadie puede salvarme, pero....
Es como para empezar a pensar en ello, y para cuando ella llegó a la casa, tenía la canción escrita.
Y creo que ella probablemente estaba molesta porque yo estaba muy emocionado por la canción. (Risas) Yo estaba como, "Sí, eres hermosa, nena. Pero escucha esta canción!"

The world was on fire, and no one could save me but you
Strange what desire make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I wanna fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I wanna fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
With you
(This world is only gonna break your heart)

What a wicked game to play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream mo you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream mo you

And I wanna fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I wanna fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you

The world was on fire, and no one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I wanna fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I wanna fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I (This world is only gonna break your heart)
(This world is only gonna break your heart)

Nobody
Ioves no one

THIS is the video, not that other one.

[yasemind]

The movie, awesome - this song, masterpiece!

[Kirbieish]

you could share this movie with every heart that feels young enough

[Beckola]

The first time I heard this it took me to my knees. It hit all my senses at once.

[neftalifigueroa]

This is the video I watch and herd this song for the first time!! I was haunted and captivated by the melody and the sound of the wailing guitar of James Calvin Wisley. Once you heard this song I never forgot it nor the video. Then later came the other video version that for obvious reasons it became more popular. But I never forgot this one, as I found it more captivating and hauntingly beautiful; at least emotionally!! Thanks for revealing this one.

[leonardosaravia]

Esta es la versión original, extraordinaria... Lo increíble es que tenga poca visitas.

[myriamm.]

Sunday night seen on TV the movie...and herd this unforgettable song and voice and music!!❤

Écouté ce matin... Que de bons souvenirs.

[davidschnase]

My thunderbird loves this song. Looks the same

[MA_CV]

Hasta ayer pude ver la película Corazón Salvaje, tenia mucha curiosidad en verla.
Pero debo admitir que no fue de agrado, la termine de ver... pero si no me gusto.
Bueno me quedo con esta canción Wicked Game que es una de mis favoritas por años

[tciswri]

Этот вариант показывали по MTV в Москве а 1990 году и когда позже вышел второй вариант клипа с "облаками"-на него смотреть было невозможно!

[faultypinkgoods]

I'm at Beachy Head, with a sawn off Canon camera and Hugo boss lenses and Calvin Harris Y-fronts, , on my back pack waiting for my gorgeous bride to be to arrive xxx a beautiful game and cricket at the same time and ma$e?!!

[dmmjq]

Although I kind of like the video with the chick... this one is way cooler!!

[jean-erictateia]

A very Great and nice song.Chris ISAAK has got a beautiful voice and talent.

[Lisa.pizzza]

I can't believe I don't remember this version of the video.. but I like it a lot!

[elll]

I've always liked this version of this video more than any other...its director is David Lynch, so it's pretty obvious ;)

[SingleTax]

I always liked this video a lot more than the one that followed (the one filmed on a beach with some super model).

[espectadorcalificado]

un gran clásico  siempre vigente desde el año --1989--
