The mid-60s in America saw the burgeoning of the hippie movement, with Taiwan soon following suit. One began to hear the widespread singing of English-language songs and Mandarin renditions of English melodies. The Wild Man Cafe was the place to hear this cutting-edge music, and rock music was played so loudly that one could hardly stand in the place.
六○年代中期，正是美國搖滾盛行的嬉皮時代進入尾聲階段，沒有多久，台灣就也接上了這股潮流，那是台灣開始大量唱英文歌、也是國語歌壇大量翻唱西洋歌的年代，「野人」就是播放這些充滿前衛的英文歌曲，搖滾樂震得人幾乎站不住腳。
