EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING LMAO I cannot believe he didn’t take it off at some point...I guess he was just so bored he couldn’t even bother to be shirtless
Another good one is "Something to do" by Depeche Mode. Also to anyone interested in philosophy or the subject of boredom, you should read Lars Fr. H. Svendsens book "A Philosophy Of Boredom". It's really good.
Iggy is something else, an absolute showman and a great songwriter he’s a cross between Bowie/Jagger and Lou Reed. I think he’s an absolute legend. Rock on Iggy.
I saw Iggy several times and met him personally after his concert in 1980 outside the 688 on Spring Street in Atlanta. He played a weeklong engagement there and packed every show. He is the real deal, honest, hardworking, amazing showman.
I saw that video on the original Nickelodeon in 79. Never heard it again and for some incomprehensible, insane reason it popped into my head tonight. It was wild to see it again. Thanks.
this is the best song ever, i typed im "im bored" because i was, and this is the gem i discovered this video perfectly captures how i feel right now iggy pop i sthe best musician in this entire planet, making songs that get me through the tough times, bored times XD we've all been there.. he is such a wonderful person and has a pure heart god has saved him a special place in heaven for him.. solely for this masterpiece of a song!!! so proud!!
Something no-one ever comments on is the uncanny metrical/structural resemblance of this song to I'm Bugged by XTC (which, as a composition, predates it). I'm sure Iggy (always hip to the British scene) had listened to that. And it's not impossible that he'd heard Crass, who also had a Chairman Of The Bored song (though it wasn't on record yet).
Me: *searches 'im bored' on google* This guy: I'm the chairman or bored. . . . Wasn't expecting this google, but thank you. I'm not bored for the next few minutes.
Still my favorite Iggy song.....what a great riff - angular and slightly evocative of Japanese music - and a killer guitar solo... none of his other songs sound like this one to my knowledge.
Listening this after yesterday's amazing Live from Iggy here in Athens. He skipped this one and I wanted to complete the experience 🤣. He was as always amazing. His voice was a lil grungy because he was not feeling well as he told us. but even ill Iggy is the absolute king of stage
i was in the service at Shepherd AFB. I went into town and heard New Values (this song as a matter of fact). Bought it and have been a lifelong Ziggy fan.
Lyrics sourced from lyricfind (for my convenience and I guess for others too): I'm bored. I'm the chairman of the board. I'm a Lincoln monologue, I'm livin' like a God, I'm bored. I bore myself to sleep at night, I bore myself in broad daylight, 'cause I'm bored. Just another slimy bore. I'm free to bore my well-bought friends, And spend my cash until the end, 'cause I'm bored! I'm bored! I'm the chairman of the board. I'm sick. I'm sick of all my kicks. I'm sick of all the stiffs, I'm sick of all the dips, I'm bored. I bore myself to sleep at night, I bore myself in broad daylight, 'cause I'm bored! I'm bored! Just another dirty bore! Alright now, face, come out and bore me! I am sick! I am sick of all my kicks! I'm sick of all the stiffs, I'm sick of all the dips, I'm sick! I'm sick when I go to sleep at night, I'm still sick in the broad daylight, 'Cause I'm bored! I'm bored! I'm the chairman of the board!
I heard this song in Year 7 when it was released - and it resonated immensely. How can an 11 year old be so aware of being bored?? Love this song and love iggy xx
I think everyone of us wrote this song,but he was smart one and sings it. We all can be his back up vocals. Before you now it the whole world will be Iggy Pop's backup. Damm good tune. I think we should work on telling the world about this idea of mine . Then we won't all be so bored. Together let's put this world back together. We will get through this crap-crop-corona
Anybody remember Video Concert Hall? Pre-MTV madness. This song, the Cramps “Garbageman,” Split Enz, Supertramp, Gary Numan, Nazareth, just a weird, eclectic mix of music. Seemed like they only had maybe 35 videos that they played over and over but for a kid from rural North Carolina, this shit was magic.
I'm bored here, CORONA! This is all just because of corona, otherwise, I would be at school...... WAAAAAAAAAAAA! I miss seeing people who I know in person! my friends, teachers, it's all BORING without them...... ;(
I'm bored. I'm the chairman of the board. I'm a Lincoln monologue, I'm livin' like a God, I'm bored. I bore myself to sleep at night, I bore myself in broad daylight, 'cause I'm bored.

Correct me if I’m wrong , but I think Iggy performed this take in the Australian ABC studios for a local show called Countdown . They just set up a black set and an audio track and Iggy supplied the goods . An absolute CLASSIC
@@jacktheaussiekid4394 I'm pretty sure every single line Iggy Pop has ever sung was a sexual innuendo. Actually I'm pretty sure everything he ever said, ever, was about sex.
HE HAS AN ACTUAL SHIRT!!! HOLY FUCK AND ITS ON..THE WHOLE TIME!?!?!?!?!
+Roman Miller
BUT, no socks! Love his suit, he cuts a fine figure...
Looks like Iggy started the current trend of wearing no socks,way back then.
well yeah,he"s bored.
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING LMAO I cannot believe he didn’t take it off at some point...I guess he was just so bored he couldn’t even bother to be shirtless
Lolll
I cannot stress how underrated this iggy pop tune is
Ikr
That's right punk welcome to the office
one of the essentials
As is the entire album it's from, imo.
meh, I think its kinda boring.
This song is really therapeutic, it's also the only song i've ever come across that captures the feeling of being aggressively bored.
Another good one is "Something to do" by Depeche Mode.
Also to anyone interested in philosophy or the subject of boredom, you should read Lars Fr. H. Svendsens book "A Philosophy Of Boredom". It's really good.
I'm sick of all the dips
Lmao
“Music in the 70’s was so deep and really meant something”
Music in the 70’s:
Punk in nutshell
tre: If you want to find truly deep and meaningful music from the seventies, don't listen to Iggy Pop. Look up "Disco Duck."
two works- Mumble Rap
I've never heard anyone say that but ok lmao
I am the egg man
We are the egg men
I am the walrus
Coo-coo kachoo
Iggy is something else, an absolute showman and a great songwriter he’s a cross between Bowie/Jagger and Lou Reed. I think he’s an absolute legend. Rock on Iggy.
he is not "between", he is an original, Bowie is a cosplayer
Something of a prototype Prince too?
He's basically God
I saw Iggy several times and met him personally after his concert in 1980 outside the 688 on Spring Street in Atlanta. He played a weeklong engagement there and packed every show. He is the real deal, honest, hardworking, amazing showman.
I might just be weird but I’ve searched “I’m bored” into google about 1mil times and this song always pops up. I’m finally listening to it.
Not weird I did the same thing
OMG SAME
That's a good sign. You are not easily programmed - it took a million times (really) before it finally got to you. That's resistance - hen hao.
When you search: I'm bored
This guy: *lemme entertain you...*
Haha that's how I found this
@@u3093 me too ecks dee
😂 thats how i found this
I think every body came here bcuz they bored
this is literally how i found this shit lmao
In this part of Iggy’s career he was just FABULOUS
Potentially the theme tune of people everywhere browsing the internet, ^_^.
ajmetz82 omg yes
Literally found it by searching "im bored" i saw it was Iggy pop and was intrigued
Naw...theme song of sick still suffering alcoholics.
Yes
especially with "wankin' my log" ... if you're a dude
Lmao I googled I’m bored and was not disappointed this is now my theme song🤣🤣🤣🤣
Are we all the chairmen of the bored now? I'm sick too...
Omg me too😂
same
Same
HAAHHAAH SAME!😂😂😂😂
I saw that video on the original Nickelodeon in 79. Never heard it again and for some incomprehensible, insane reason it popped into my head tonight. It was wild to see it again. Thanks.
this is the best song ever, i typed im "im bored" because i was, and this is the gem i discovered
this video perfectly captures how i feel right now
iggy pop i sthe best musician in this entire planet, making songs that get me through the tough times, bored times XD
we've all been there.. he is such a wonderful person and has a pure heart
god has saved him a special place in heaven for him.. solely for this masterpiece of a song!!! so proud!!
same, this man is a time travelling genius.
Boi I’m so bored that my life has come to this
Lol
Lol
@Zed lol calm down
Ye me too
Zed damn that was unnecessary
Saw him at a nite club in Phoenix in 79' he came out in full drag, great show!
I Saw him in Lyon (France) about a month ago. And it's my Favorite concert with the Stones
"I'm bored"
"I'm sick"
If this isn't our quarantine theme song for the #coronavirus era, I don't know what is. 😷
so true
w/ gloves too
Oh my god! I was just thinking this exact same thing!
U got the to point....
I just came looking for it lol
I’m never bored with Iggy
if u love Iggy u may well like "Plastic - Indtiko" :)
Im never bored of this song
ironic aint it
Great tune....Excellent album...My favorite by Iggy Pop
Mr. Osterberg sums me up very well in the whole song. Thanks Jim.
I just sent it to my son vagelis who is under coronovirus isolation because he told me, "dad I'm bored!Greetings from Greece!
Iggy performing this song on COUNTDOWN ABC TV with Molly Meldrum...
the best thing ever shown on that programme.
A miracle happened here.
Iggy didn't take his jacket off.
that we knew of
I bet you he thought about it though 😊
Jacket off! Jacket off!
Still a classic of his! Still love it, decades later!!
iggys dance movements are a work of art
New Values and Raw Power are my two fave Pop albums. Every track on this one is fantastic!
This song makes me think of Lou Reed.
Not surprising since the Stooges did take their cue from the Velvet Underground (and MC5)...
Something no-one ever comments on is the uncanny metrical/structural resemblance of this song to I'm Bugged by XTC (which, as a composition, predates it). I'm sure Iggy (always hip to the British scene) had listened to that. And it's not impossible that he'd heard Crass, who also had a Chairman Of The Bored song (though it wasn't on record yet).
@@Grithron2 That's a great observation!
@@fearofmusic1312 yeah... there's a 'spit-load' of Velvet Underground in this song.
I mean, Iggy, Reed and Bowie were all good mates. There's a bit of each in all their songs.
who else just searched up: I’m bored. then found this and clicked on this
I did..
Me
me lol
Me
Yep
Been listening to this for donkey's years. Cheers Iggy! ❤️ 🧡 💛.

Wasn't expecting this google, but thank you. I'm not bored for the next few minutes.

Wait u can search I am bored on google and not get Rick rolled
*ALWAYS HAS BEEN*
Gotta love lil jimmy osterberg, i grew up listen to iggiy and first heard him on the cults new york city, love him to bits a true legend :)
Why do I love this song so much??? I like how low & gravely his voice sounds.
Iggy pop wearing a shirt is unheard of
How is this not a meme already? I love it
Cause we all bored
Still my favorite Iggy song.....what a great riff - angular and slightly evocative of Japanese music - and a killer guitar solo... none of his other songs sound like this one to my knowledge.
riff killa
5 ft 1 is sorta similar
No Fun maybe...
Yeah, I dig that solo…not wanky but aggressive with a vicious tone
Girls is similar off the same album
Brilliant piece of art! I play classical piano - all the hard Mozart Sonatas and I love this video. He is so expressive!
O my
@@lastnamefirst4035 Yes. It is a big deal. It truly is glorious.
This guy really chose the right title
No fun. I'm bored. It's a testament to greatness that when you Google I'm bored THIS is what you get!
I'm the chairman of the bored.

Serenity's Crocker
Norm MacDonald wrote that line.
Hearing or watching legends is not boring!!!!!
Who else searched "i'm bored" during Coronavirus Quarantine time? Tell me, I will replay to everyone. Lockdown is also going on 😂😂😂
Me
Yep
Yup
me
meeee
GUITAR was ROCKING...don't worry IGGY....I'm not BORED with you yet..I STILL LOVE U❤❤
Listening this after yesterday's amazing Live from Iggy here in Athens. He skipped this one and I wanted to complete the experience 🤣. He was as always amazing. His voice was a lil grungy because he was not feeling well as he told us. but even ill Iggy is the absolute king of stage
i was in the service at Shepherd AFB. I went into town and heard New Values (this song as a matter of fact). Bought it and have been a lifelong Ziggy fan.
Lyrics sourced from lyricfind (for my convenience and I guess for others too):

I'm the chairman of the board.
I'm a Lincoln monologue, I'm livin' like a God,
I'm bored.

I'm the chairman of the board.
I'm sick.
I'm sick of all my kicks.

'cause I'm bored!
I'm bored!
Just another dirty bore!
Alright now, face, come out and bore me!
I am sick!
I am sick of all my kicks!

I'm sick when I go to sleep at night, I'm still sick in the broad daylight,
'Cause I'm bored!
I'm bored!
I'm the chairman of the board!
It's "I'm a lengthy monologue" which makes way more sense than a "Lincoln monologue"
First saw Iggy with Blondie in some little theater in Philly back in '77.
I didn't knew there's a song about someone that is bored
I didn't as well, but makes sense ngl
Great times in the '70's when we actually could sit back and actually be .. bored.
I heard this song in Year 7 when it was released - and it resonated immensely. How can an 11 year old be so aware of being bored?? Love this song and love iggy xx
This song is so punk rock
❤
Hi Bored, I'm Dad.
Lol
Ha Hahahahah wtf
Father?
Duckhead You came back from the grocery store
DAD JOKES
This was the first time I ever heard Iggy back in the day...
And I was never bored after hearing this one...
And kids, this is how I met your father.
😂
LMFAOOOOOOO
ooh snap
Doctor: "and what brings you in today?"
Me: @2:21

Great album, the late great WBCN, Boston 104.1, used to play this album a lot.
I've never felt Iggy more than now in 2020.

Same
i can relate, i am bored and this didn't fix it

Me too
Yeah.....me too
Still fresh. Such a dirty riff
How did I get here 😂.
IGGY POP IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDER RATED LYRICISTS EVER.
I'm here because I'm the chairman of the board
I never get bored when I listen to this song to be honest
my anthem while being stuck inside due to coronavirus
Hope you don't have noisy neighbours.

Cool song...luv the guitar riff
Ditto
Oh gosh, the third line he sings is "I'm a lengthy monologue"! I've always heard it something like "I'm lenghting MY LOG"! 🤣
Honestly not too far off from something Iggy would say!!
Iggy slays it every time!
😂😂sorry I am not bored anymore but i liked it.. 🙊hope many more people watch this video
IGGGGGGGGGGGGYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY POPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are the king, dear sir. Forever love.

i"m here because i searched i'm bored
I remember talking my way back stage to meet Iggy Pop in LA, CA once decades ago! Still love this song.
This song is so good. I love it.
Not only that but watch the whole thing
Somebody should do a mashup of "I'm Bored" and "Isolation", for 2020.
カッコイイ🤩✨
my father was bored, im bored, vsn only hope his grandchild isnt bored
I want this outfit
Yo no estoy aburrido de escuchar tantas veces este tema de La Iguana.

Came into the TH-cam universe not knowing what to expect. I'd say this pretty much defines that universe for me.
Now i can say i got a song for every emotion I feel... :v
What about the emotion when you're constipated
Im bored of just being bored period! Lol😛😛😛
1:21 PSYCHO FACE xD xD

True...was almost there though...
Correct me if I’m wrong , but I think Iggy performed this take in the Australian ABC studios for a local show called Countdown .
They just set up a black set and an audio track and Iggy supplied the goods .
An absolute CLASSIC
All right doll-face. Come on and bore me
Awesum!
Andrew Funny as fuck!
@@jacktheaussiekid4394 I'm pretty sure every single line Iggy Pop has ever sung was a sexual innuendo.

Everybody...TJ STRUSKA
