Last man of the Holy Trinity. Both David Bowie and Lou Reed died on a Sunday morning. Long live Iggy, but when the time eventually comes, I hope it'll be a Sunday morning as well
This is pretty close to the original version. It's more raw and really didn't get the same critical acclaim it deserves as the Bowie version 6 years later. Personally i think its better.
Considering the "China Girl" being discussed in the song is a cocktail of heroin and cocaine, I'd say he is aching for it in 1986. But by the looks of things, it seems like She's on stage with him.
I couldn't escape this feeling With my China Girl I'm just a wreck without My little China Girl I'd hear hearts beating Loud as thunder See the stars crashing I'm a mess without My China Girl Wake up mornings, there's No China Girl I'd hear hearts beating Loud as thunder I'd see stars crashing down I'd feel tragic Like I was Marlon Brando When I'd look at my China Girl I could pretend that nothing Really meant too much When I'd look at my China Girl I'd stumble into town Just like a sacred cow Visions of swastikas in my head And plans for everyone It's in the white of my eyes My little China Girl You shouldn't mess with me I'll ruin everything you are I'll give you television I'll give you eyes of blue I'll give you men who want to rule the world And when I get excited My little China Girl says, "Oh Jimmy, just shut your mouth." She says, "Shhhh..."
She was a French Vietnamese model engaged to a French singer songwriter. Iggy really fell for her. But I bet that he didn't seem to be a reliable enough sort of guy to her...
@@arwinfm Exactly. People are fucking stupid and uninformed. He and Bowie specifically went away together to kick their habits and write this and many other songs/albums.
@@mikefiftynine Wow... Iggy's version was an amateurish mess with a sound that can only be described as 'garage quality'. Bowie's version is a masterpiece with his solid spooky vocals, a bass and drum line almost everybody recognizes immediately, and just incredible guitar work from Stevie Ray Vaughn.
@@mts7274 Funny you say that because Bowie composed the music, contributing piano, synthesizer, alto saxophone, rhythm guitar, toy piano, and backing vocals to the version released by Iggy. Bowie only released the other version so Iggy could get some much needed cash. Iggy's is definitely the more heartfelt and musically interesting, while I like the other version, is a bit radio friendly/sanitised and lacks the feeling of the original.
@@secretsfullofsaucers Iggy's version of the song is absolute trash, and sounds like a college band demo tape. You know was trash? Try listening to the demos Van Halen recorded of all their songs before Ted Templeman straightened that band out.
True pioneer - long live iggy. As a lifelong detroiter couldn’t be more proud
Iggy P still gives us great sounds and a huge variety of music on BBC Radio 6 music. Lovely voice too

Grande Mr Iggy Fucking Pop!
Such poignant rendition! Apparently Iggy still ached for the girl after all those years.
As much as I love David Bowie, Iggy’s original just grips me for some reason
@@ozthewizard1 True pain for unreciprocated love.

They met in the 70's, at the Michel Magne's Hérouville castle, during the recording of The Idiot album, realized with David Bowie.
@@LouisVillaniShe was engaged to be married to a French singer songwriter who was recording in that same building.
FAB :)
Buen cover Yggypop.
Que sexy por Dios!!! Amo a Iggy pop es un grande!! 😍

Simplesmente bom, grande iggy

I couldn't escape this feeling
With my China Girl
I'm just a wreck without
My little China Girl
I'd hear hearts beating
Loud as thunder
See the stars crashing
I'm a mess without
My China Girl
Wake up mornings, there's
No China Girl
I'd hear hearts beating
Loud as thunder
I'd see stars crashing down
I'd feel tragic
Like I was Marlon Brando
When I'd look at my China Girl
I could pretend that nothing
Really meant too much
When I'd look at my China Girl
I'd stumble into town
Just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
And plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes
My little China Girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you men who want to rule the world
And when I get excited
My little China Girl says,
"Oh Jimmy, just shut your mouth."
She says, "Shhhh..."
サイコー！イギーサイコー！イギーのダンスサイコー！背中に鬼面が見えた。
First
He does it better then Bowie!
"... BATMAN"
Игги тут конечно не в лучший форме,непростой был период в его борьбе с зависимостями
lol cocaine is a hell of a drug.... awesome performance though...
I don't know, I think it's just Iggy Pop's energy
She was a French Vietnamese model engaged to a French singer songwriter. Iggy really fell for her. But I bet that he didn't seem to be a reliable enough sort of guy to her...
On this tour he was totally clean. Not even cigarettes

Vietnamese girl not china girl
Bowie's iconic version of "China Girl" was only possible because of Nile Rodgers.
Funny, I think Iggy's is the iconic one, and Bowie's pales compared. Oh well.

And Stevie Ray Vaughn
Mejor la versión de Bowie
claramente no sabes de lo que hablas, pobrecito.
@@danielalcala1044hombre un merluzo por aquí 😂
Excellent. Bowie version is smoother.
Lucky Bowie covered this song or it would be in the trash can still
Actually I like this version more.
Actually Bowie wrote it
@@Cesar_09_ I love Bowie but both of them wrote this song together. It's based on Iggy's unrequited love.
Iggy is the King of Punk. Bowie was his paduan.
He did not cover it he wrote half of it.
Bowie wrote the melody Iggy wrote the lyric.
That was most of the the idiot album.
I've heard better at karaoke! 😂
Amazingly crap !
The band let him down a bit. Couple of bum notes and pauses
He's disgusting but he did write a good song along with David Bowie. Superb musicality.
why the fuck would he be disgusting
