Wild Things Run Fast is Joni Mitchell's 1982 album and her first for Geffen Records. It represents her departure from jazz to a more 80's pop sound, without compromising her integrity as a songwriter. It is a retrospective, hopeful and love-oriented look at life from middle age. Rolling Stone commented that it contains the word "love" 57 times.
The resulting world tour took Joni through the U.S., Europe, Asia and Australia. A video of the tour was released in 1983, entitled Refuge of the Roads. It has recently been released on DVD.
The track "(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care" is on George W. Bush's iPod. Mitchell commented in an interview that she would much rather he listen to Dog Eat Dog instead.
