SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:12 Min.
Jeff Lynne’s ballad is the last cut off 1991’s Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves soundtrack. The song appears late in the movie during a grand feast, as Maid Marian’s entourage joins the Merry Men for a night in Sherwood Forest.
REVIEW:
Describing “Wild Times” as vastly overshadowed by Bryan Adams’s “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You” would be an understatement. Jeff Lynne’s low-key effort, at least, serves its purpose as background mood enhancement. Otherwise, the song is instantly forgettable. For anyone downloading Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves for Adams’ mega-hit and/or stellar work by composer Michael Kamen, “Wild Times” is simply a bonus track.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 5½ Stars
