Deep Purple is a British rock group, and is also the name of a song composed by Peter De Rose, from which the band borrowed its name. They are considered to be heavy metal/hard rock pioneers together with Led Zeppelinand Black Sabbath. Formed in 1967, Deep Purple's early output ranged from pure pop (such as their cover of "Hush") to strongly classically influenced pieces (such as "April", from their third album). Their first few albums contained incredibly long solos including songs such as "Hey Joe" and "I'm So Glad" with a long solo before they even began their lyrics. Some classic anthems have come from that era of Deep Purple though, including songs such as "Anthem" and "Shield" which set the bar for some very influential songs.

Call of The Wild Lyrics
Deep Purple
(blackmore/gillan/glover/lord)
Operator Im looking for a girl
Youve got to help me get through
I dont know much about her
So Im relying on you
She got rhythm but no sense of timing
She likes living but shes got no
Address
Operator youve got to get me out of
This mess
Let me tell you about her
She aint got a face
She aint got a name
She aint got a leg to stand upon
Shes out of touch
But not out of mind
And Ive got to see again that gypsy
Child
Operator this is the call of the wild
Shes a hitch hiker never gets a ride
But you can bet shes on time
Shes always around but so hard to
Find
She causes trouble she never takes
Offence
Dirty mind a heart of gold
Operator dont you put me on hold
