Chris Isaak - Wicked Game (1991 Vinyl LP)

"Wicked Game", taken from an 1991 European Vinyl LP of Chris Isaak's Wicked Game, a compilation featuring 11 songs from his first 3 albums.

"Wicked Game" is a song by American musician Chris Isaak from his third album Heart Shaped World (1989). It was released as a single to little attention in July 1989; the song became a sleeper hit when Lee Chesnut, an Atlanta radio station music director who loved David Lynch films, began broadcasting it after hearing it in Lynch's film Wild at Heart (1990). The song quickly became an American top 10 hit in March 1991, reaching No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also became a No. 1 hit in Belgium and reached the top 10 in several other countries.

"Wicked Game" has been covered by a wide variety of musicians and has been featured in numerous films, television series, and commercials, to the point that Dazed magazine questioned whether it might be the most influential love song in modern music. It subsequently received retrospective critical acclaim, being listed in the 2010 book 1001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die and the updated edition of the 1989 book The Heart of Rock & Soul: The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made.
