The story behind the song

"Wicked Game" is a standout track from Chris Isaak's third album, Heart Shaped World, released in 1989. It gained significant traction after a radio music director, a fan of David Lynch, started playing it after hearing it in Lynch's film Wild at Heart. This led the song to become a top 10 hit in the US and a No. 1 hit in Belgium. The song's iconic music video, directed by Herb Ritts and featuring Helena Christensen, also earned two MTV Video Music Awards.
