-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.c...
This was one of Iggy's many collaborations with David Bowie. By the way - Iggy was originally asked to be the drummer for the MC5, but decided he'd rather front his own band. I'd recommend Iggy's song, 'Lust for Life'. Or, 'I Wanna Be Your Dog'.
Love this song!!
Hey Andy ! Joan Jett does a cover of " I Wanna Be Your Dog" lol
Siouxsie and The Banshees do a cover this that I actually prefer. I'm an Iggy fan from way back, but when Siouxsie did it, I don't know, it just felt better. Same with Dear Prudence, I prefer Siouxsie's take on it. They stay very true to the originals, but own it.
Cherry Gitl was written by iggy Pop
There’s way more to Iggy Pop than what you can glean from a single listen. He and David Bowie were longtime friends and collaborators in both music and sobriety. And he’s still making music. In fact, one of my favorite songs of his is the 2016 song “Gardenia” that he recorded with Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age. Perhaps a good direction to head into from here would be the David Bowie song “China Girl,” written by Iggy Pop and with Stevie Ray Vaughan on guitar. Iggy Pop released his own version of “China Girl,” as well, but the Bowie version is the standard.
Nice and informatively written, Allison!
@@MajasDad thank you!
The Bowie version of China Girl is boring compared to Iggy's version.
@@5burowz I love Iggy’s original version and the Bowie cover. A reaction to either would be fine with me.
@@5burowz MUCH prefer Iggy doing China Girl.
Neither Iggy nor Lou Reed were really best selling artists in their day, but their influence over music is incalculable. Giants.
Exactly- some people don’t understand zeitgeist level creatives like Iggy, Lou et al - because they just don’t exist anymore.
Both tragically underrated. Especially Lou Reed
@@vanyadolly its cuz of his ego as big as the world
@@vanyadollyHe's not underrated with critics, but Lou's definitely underrated with most people who think of themselves as rock fans. And I can't think of many artists who were more rock n roll than Lou Reed; the lyrics, the lifestyle, the attitude, etc etc, and of course the huge influence he and TVU had on 50 years of music, and still incoming.
@@deckofcards87 As a friend of mine said when we heard he'd died: he led a Lou Reed life 😅
Guys - this is not about vocals or music. It's about what comes after rage, after sorrow. It's sad, dumb acceptance that you're just being swept along and there's not a fucking thing you can do about it. You're just along for the ride now. This song is brilliant and timeless.
Dude, I like this comment more than the actual song.
@@robland6804 hahaha
Excellent analysis!!!
Iggy Pop, Davide Bowie are perfect examples of musical careers based on mediocre musicianship and derivative songs. This is what I hate about the popular music industry: its celebration of mediocrity.
@Victor Alexander poor dear
Been patiently waiting forever for some Iggy. Thanks fellas! 🤩 PS Iggy would want you to hit him 😉 Try the Stooges next, "Search and Destroy", solo Iggy "Lust For Life" Cheers!
For Iggy's solo stuff, try out "Lust for Life," "Nightclubbing," or even the very romantic and poppy "Candy" with Kate Pierson od the B-52s.
I love Candy!!!
Definitely going to listen to Iggy. I know nothing about his music despite having grown up in the 60s and 70s.
Definitely all better songs than Passenger and they’ll all score higher than B.
Candy is THE greatest duet in history. And coming from an old school country fan like me, that really means something cause if you beat out the old Conway Twitty/Loretta Lynn records, you've made quite an accomplishment. Iggy's voice sends chills up your spine in the first verse, then Kate does the same in verse 2. But when they hit that 2nd chorus together, o man it can take your breath away and bring tears to your eyes. Their voices are so perfect together.
Candy, Candy, Candy I can’t let you go!
Personally i love this song, and come back to it often, but I wouldn't call it Iggy's best song. Btw, Siouxsie and the Banshees do a great version of it. I would hit up Lust For Life, Real Wild Child, Search and Destroy, and Now I Wanna Be Your Dog.
@britton the siouxsie cover is fantastic i think i may have known that one before hearing the original.
Bauhaus did a killer version as well..
Siouxsie's version is better imo. Nothing against Iggy
Michael Hutchence of INXS did a really good version for the movie Batman Forever.
@@monzadh I've never heard it, didn't even know they covered it, but not surprised.
"The Passenger" was a single from Iggy's "Lust for Life" album which relaunched his career following the demise of the Stooges and the birth of Punk. Bowie produced the album and plays on the track. The concept is taken from the brilliant art-film of the same name from acclaimed director Michaelangelo Antonioni. Punk, like other modern art, was about honest and powerful expression and the song aligns with the films vibe. Hit "Lust for Life" next followed by "Nightclubbing," "Funtime," and "Real Wild One." You've got to do more Stooges. "Search & Destroy," "TV Eye," "1969."
Yep. Bowie co-produced *Lust for Life* with Iggy and engineer Colin Thurston (they dubbed themselves "the Bewlay Brothers," after a Bowie song on his *Hunky Dory* album), and Bowie plays piano and sings backing vocals on "The Passenger".
The Stooges(with Iggy)- I Wanna be Your Dog (circa 1969!!!) This is the period that you need to hit. Pre- Punk. Iggy's stage antics are 50% of his appeal.
Lust for Life is just Iggy. It was his 2nd solo album and followed "The Idiot", both released in 1977. The Stooges albums are "The Stooges" and "Funhouse". Raw Power was released 3 years before Iggy's solo stuff and the only one credited to Iggy and The Stooges
I wish I could give 10 more likes to this! Also, the 90's film 'Trainspotting' should go on the watch list.
@@DazzleMonroe Yes, I realized and edited before reading your comment.
Check it now.
This song, and really the whole album, are epic. Next you have to hit the Stooges, Iggy's first band.
The amazing thing about Iggy Pop is that he is still alive, still performing and now selling products in mainstream adverts.
Great documentary about him, called Gimme Danger!
@@TahoeNevada Gimme Danger is a film about The Stooges, not just Iggy. I watched the premiere sitting about 30 meters away from Iggy, Jim Jarmusch and Kathy Asheton. I almost hyperventilated.
@@katm6 Nice!
Iggy was punk rock before any such thing existed, and he absorbed it and then transcended it with this album.
Iggy and The NY Dolls were the adopted kids of The Velvets. Then came Punk....
Woo hoo Iggy!!! Guys you HAVE to see s live cut of his stuff seriously... love ya thanks for it
th-cam.com/video/Y2D4S1K8HWI/w-d-xo.html
Iggy Pop is one of those artists that you can’t recreate the complete experience from just listening to his record.You have to be in a small club, up close and get the live show to appreciate what Iggy is about.
Speaking of, I saw Iggy in a small venue here in St Lou back in the late ‘70s. Excellent show!
When I studied in late 70s early 80s two songs went on forever “The Passenger “ and Zappas “Bobby Brown” and one Pretender song when I think about it
You guys are on a roll. I love this song.
David Bowie, Iggy and Lou Reed. Best buddies who hung out and collaborated together.
This record was so influential on everything that came after, it's crazy.
Gotta do the Stooges. That’s the band he was in before he went solo.
This is one of those classic songs that transcends styles and genres. It's a groove that exists in its own world. Love it. Thanks for reacting.
The Godfather of Punk!
Fun fact: David Bowie was a friend and frequent collaborator of Iggy. He co-wrote & produced albums of Iggy and went incognito on tour with Iggy in the 70s as the keyboarder (!) of Iggy's band.
Lust for Life is the right introduction to Iggy Pop, no matter how many Discord Polls say otherwise. Smiley face. Who is feeding you the material?!? Plus, if you saw POP live in his prime it would never be anything less than a 5 Star S Tier rating.
That would be spotify, I'm guessing, since it's by far the most listened to song by him on that platform. Smiley face.
th-cam.com/video/Y2D4S1K8HWI/w-d-xo.html
Nobody on Discord suggested this song. Nice try though
We made this pick and most picks on our own, I’ve recently been building Friday polls to help the process be a little more informed rather than super blind, but yeah we chose this and we’re gonna hit the stooges on Wednesday
Watch Iggy’s R&R HOF induction performing “I Wanna Be Your Dog”. The audience was dumbfounded. They didn’t have a clue. All while Iggy was 60+ years old.
Check out "NO FUN" from The Stooges premiere album "1969". This tune here WAS a hangover song, a party song and too a dance song in its daze.
I LOVE Iggy Pop, and this is my favorite song from him... and here is why: What is the mood of the song? Hopeful, wistful, sad, apocalyptic, a celebration, etc? Yes. Yes to all of that. The song is a mood ring and reflects your current state of mind back at you, giving it near infinite relistenability.
One of my all time favorite songs, probably, and it should really be listened to in the setting that it evokes, driving through city streets at night. Easily a top tier song in my book.
I did not know that Siouxsie and the Banshees version was a cover!
You guys have definitely grown Andy. I spent A year teaching my kids about music. I showed them all the Rock musicals documentaries I could get my hands on. I would tell them " In order to get the jokes of your time you need to know the history". You've had quite a journey.
Did you show them the Velvet Underground?
@@pillmuncher67 Yes I Did. And this is crazy, I even showed them the movie that was my mom's favorite musical "A Funny thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" with Zero Mostel and it was their favorite.!!
@@pillmuncher67 Believe it or not Blockbuster carried a lot on music and went and bought a lot of CD's and movies. All the Beatles work of Course.
Some of Iggy's best songs, Tell me a story, I'm bored, Five foot one, also check out his band Iggy and the stooges which some say was the start of punk.
Great version by Siouxie and the Banshees that even Iggy Pop loved
Iggy Pop is also a regular member of Jim Jarmusch's group of musicians-as-actors in his movies. Alongside Tom Waits, Joe Strummer, Gary Farmer.
I have seen every Jim Jarmusch film. A true independent film maker.
Yay!!! ❤️Iggy Pop ❤️ This is a “Catchy” tune hit, for the masses. He has a lot to listen to. Mostly underground and not played on the radio. He recorded a great Album, in old age. I think it was 2016. I fell in love with the song, GARDENIA, off that album.
🥰🥰😘
That album is special. Paraguay does it for me.
Post Pop Depression
Great album!
The whole Post Pop Depression album is fantastic.
Post Pop Depression is such a great album! Josh Homme (QOTSA) and Matt Helders (drummer in Arctic Monkeys) also have some of their best work on that album
Nice to see a debut artist appear the channel. I would like to see more of those debuts. Maybe Graham Parker, "Get Started. Start a Fire," or World Party, "Ship of Fools" would be some good introductions.
World Party, Is It Like Today is one of my favorite songs. Ship of Fools akso is excellent.
Graham Parker, "Gypsy Blood!"
Relatively mellow for "The Godfather of Punk". You'd get a better sense from "Real Wild Child" or, even better, "I Wanna Be Your Dog" from The Stooges (whom Iggy was the vocalist for).
Siouxsie and the Banshees did a brilliant cover of this that I love way more.
If you want to stick with Iggy's solo career, there is the ubiquitous Lust for Life (not my favorite) or Real Wild Child or Sister Midnight. I think you guys might prefer him with The Stooges, however, so I'd say go with 1969 or I Wanna Be Your Dog off the first album, The Stooges. I prefer TV Eye or Dirt off Fun House, although, IMHO, you can't go wrong with any song off Fun House.
I would advise instead for A&A to hit the *Raw Power* album for their first taste of the Stooges, as it's just as bangerific but more accessible than *Fun House* . In fact, the perfect starting place for A&A to enter the world of James Newell Osterberg, Jr., aka Iggy Pop, would've been "Search and Destroy" off of *Raw Power* .
I agree, I like Iggy's solo stuff, but the Stooges are definitely where it's at if you want the real flavor of Iggy.TV Eye would be a great choice, as would Down on the Street. People tend to suggest the most commercial or palatable songs rather than the ones that really capture the spirit of the artist.
@@gregsager2062 - I understand what you're saying, but I believe in starting at the beginning and to tell the truth I prefer Ron on the guitar. Raw Power is #3 on my list...not including The Weirdness.
@@katm6 Nah, Williamson is the man -- the most crazed guitar hero this side of Johnny Thunders. Plus, it's all about what A&A can digest at first listen ... and "Search and Destroy", for all of its bare-knuckled punch, is hooky enough to have been used in a Nike commercial.
siouxsie and the banshees version was a significant upgrade
I think its very intentional that the song has no progression, its meant to make you feel like the passenger, taken for a ride with no control and not being able to get what you want. ;)
GOOOOOOOD MORNING A&A FAMILY!!!
☮️❤️♾️
Good Morning, @John H! 🌞
@@allisonreed7682 morning Allison! Happy Valentine's day ❤️
@@Shadowrider1872 thank you! Happy Valentine’s Day to you, too!
A few other songs from Iggy (with and without The Stooges): 1969, Dirt, Lust for Life, 1970, Nightclubbing, Sister Midnight.
In the 80s an 90s, whenever that song was played in a club, the dance floor was immediately packed. Before that I was too small to attend dance clubs and nowadays I'm kinda old.
Very surprised these guys have never heard a single song by The Stooges. That’s a damn shame. Fun House is one of the most speaker melting albums ever recorded.
Finally!! So happy you are listening to Iggy Pop. He and David Bowie, as another follower just stated, were very close. I saw him in concert multiple times, because he played several small venues and bars. He is so important in the punk movement, and like the NY Dolls, a much loved New Yorker.
He's from Michigan.
The Godfather of Punk. The real choice for Iggy would have been his band The Stooges - "Search and Destroy", "1969", "Raw Power", "Down on the Street". Or if you it is Iggy solo, "Lust for Life" or "Kill City"
I have an aunt who looks like Iggy Pop. So much so, that my oldest brother calls her aunt Iggy.
Cute!!
Siouxsie and the Banshees do a great cover of this
Pretty sure you guys had caught just a little bit of Iggy before since I know y'all watxhed Almost Famous. It's the album Lester Bangs pulls out and says ". A-men".then puts on the turntable and the dj plays it even though she thinks it's too early in thr day for Iggy's kind of music.
Love this song. Also good: Lust for Life. Iggy Pop was excellent in the Star Trek episode, "The Magnificent Ferengi"
Siouxsie and the Banshees do my preferred version of his song.
This was later covered by Siouxie and the Banshees. Would love for you guys to give it a listen but the cover was in the eighties.
I love that cover
Definitely worth a listen.
Alex won’t like it. You know eighties.
Oh, and seeing Iggy live is the real deal. When he was with the Stooges he was particularly unhinged, cutting himself, writhing around, picking fights with Hell's Angels bikers. But even solo he's a magnetic, wild performer.
Saw Iggy opening for the Prentenders in San Bernardino. He knew how to get the crowd going. Great concert!
Yeah, he was an arsehole all right.
@@pentagrammaton6793 you say arsehole, I say provocateur. 😉
Hey guys. I wouldn't have suggested Passenger as the first Iggy song to listen to actually. I would have started with some Iggy and the Stooges. Something from the album Raw Power from 1973 perhaps. SEARCH AND DESTROY would be an excellent next song to react to.
Fun fact: IGGY just received the Polar Music prize for 2022 (which is awesome), so you'll probably be hearing a lot about him in the coming days...
Fun House is the album to introduce someone to Iggy. Blow their brains all over the floor.
No arguments from me there :)
"I am the passenger" not a driver, not a director, I make no choices. "...I ride and i ride" so what else do you say but "la la la".
Iggy is best experienced live. He puts on a show you won’t forget. I saw Iggy and the Stooges at the St Clair Shores Civic Arena (outside of Detroit) back in 1974 or 75. (Also on the bill that night was the Bob Seger System). What a show. Iggy does crazy things on stage like putting an ice cube down his pants and then fishing it out and giving it to a female fan who then put it her mouth. He was one of the first to dive into the crowd. At a show in 1968 at a venue called Mother’s in Romeo, Michigan he was arrested for exposing himself onstage. The charges were reduced to disorderly conducts and he was fined $41. The music is great but the show is amazing.
Iggy Pop live is INTENSE. He gives his all. 1969, Beat em Up, In the death Car, Lust For Life, Go For the Throat, I'm Bored. This is a cool song, but you are due some wildness from Iggy.
I discovered "In the Death Car" from checking out a Goran Bregović cd from the library. It's such a weirdly great tune with Iggy.
At the risk of making the most obvious recommendations, I'd say that "Lust for Life" and "Wild One" are the most obvious places to start with Iggy. Both are bangers, among his best known, most played work. I also love "Candy," for Iggy's voice, and that of Kate Pierson (of the B-52s). It was a radio hit, or at least an MTV staple.
You know this is the lead singer of THE STOOGES right ?? check out some picturesnof iggy pop live performance and it may shock you. They aren't this huge jazzy band they are like early punk, and the times were different so it hits different and occupied a different space in music than now if that makes sense. This is a good representation but not the only one. With time you'll understand the context more. Its a overarching theme more than focus on one specific song, not that they are "concept albums" but just attacked and built a certain way with a certain intent of expression. You need to SEE Iggy perform a little and maybe youll get it a bit more.
agreed that Siouxsie and the Banshees do a great version of this
This song is a mood.
“Lust for Life” would be a great one to hit. Obviously, from the same album. “Search and Destroy” from his first band, The Stooges, is great too. I love “The Passenger” but it’s not the strongest intro to Iggy, IMO.
The two songs of his I like are Lust for Life and Real Wild Child
Great picks, but I prefer Some Weird Sin and Gimme Danger.
This is the pretty Iggy pop. You need the dirty nasty Iggy pop (with the stooges)
Search and Destroy , Raw Power, I wanna be your dog, 1969
Down on the street!!
A bunch of us played this at an open mic night, the crowd went CRAZY !! everyone was singing LaLaLa,s, so much fun.
Hey guys, my introduction to Iggy was early 1970 when someone had the first Stooges album and I walked in while "I Wanna Be Your Dog" was on. This was still the peace and love Woodstock era and I couldn't believe my ears. Who was snarling those lyrics? What a nasty riff! I liked it! Maybe start with that if you want to try more. Pure punk to me.
Sounds good after Rock Lobster by The B52s, if anybody remembers Samantha's in Norwich !
Iggy gave a copy of the Stooges’ first album to my friend, who was the resident night manager at the Pop’s apartment building. My friend didn’t dig it, so gave it to me. I never met him personally, but Iggy did crawl across the seats at a concert at Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor and sing nose to nose in my face! His singing with and the music of the Stooges is the best!
I remember watching footage years ago of Iggy in the UK in 1977 at the Manchester Free Trade Hall. A couple of Roadies carried him onstage, propped him up at the microphone stand, they gave him a shake to wake him up and he looked really confused, they pointed at the audience and then he cottoned on to where he was and why he was there. He then launched into The Passenger, brilliant. The Band he used David Bowie later teamed up with for his Tin Machine project.
It's impossible to judge iggy's music in a vacuum. The time, the lifestyle, the collaborations, the story of iggy is thing.
Fun Fact: Iggy Pop makes a cameo- or is at leastentioned in-- almost every Jim Jarmusch film. My personal favorite..."Dead Man" (early Johnny Depp). PS. even though it's almost cliche, you probably should have started with "Lust for Life." And just like MC5- another Detroit band-- this is punk way before punk.
Iggy is good in "Dead Man", but Billy Bob Thornton steals that scene. "I just cain't drink whisky like ah usetuh could. My ol' belly just ain't no account."
@@AdamMcGahan True. Iggy was sort of the "straight man? (or woman, as it were) that built up Billy Bob. "Good God I'm hit!. Burns like hell fire you sonofabitch!"
I'd love to see Them watch Dead Man, its' a great movie
Dead Man is probably my fave film ever.
This is an example of a song where the music perfectly matches the lyrical intent. The unending existential ambiguity of life. Lust For Life is a friendlier entry into his solo work. BUT DUDES! You gotta check out The Stooges!!!!
For me I don't know a lot about Iggy. However I do feel like when I do hear his stuff and style, he completely committed and lived the lifestyle that he is portraying. He's undeniable 🤘💯
He's two people. First, there's Jim Osterberg, a smart, thoughtful guy who's into healthy living, practically an intellectual, and then there's his alter ego, Iggy Pop, a lizard-like monster on a mission of self destruction.
Now that you’ve covered Iggy Pop, you need to check out his earlier band, The Stooges/Iggy Pop & The Stooges/The Psychedelic Stooges.
The Stooges, along with friends, The MC5 basically invented “Punk Rock”.
Siouxsie & The Banshees do a great cover of this song.

@@junietunes2148 Hey, Sis! How are you?
@@TahoeNevada I'm good Bro! 🤗🌈
@@junietunes2148 I just tried to hit you up on Messenger
@@TahoeNevada I'm rarely on FB but I'll take a look! 💜
oh hell yeah!!! iggy is so under rated. You gotta check out the stooges. i love it all, but funhouse is my favorite album by them! he was on the detroit episode of parts unknown or no reservations with anthony bourdain (rip) that was fantastic! Lust for life is another killer solo piece on the trainspotting soundtrack i think you guys will love, EVERYTHING you guys missed here.
Come now, this is an A, without question, this song rocks, all of life is about accepting you are a passenger to a large degree, a vital song about life. - Don't critique songs for when you expect, rather than what they are.
That choppy guitar riff just makes this ;almost sounds like banjo. One of those songs that just never lets up.
I would recommend The album raw Power it will blow you away it's so powerful and intense.
Raw Power is in my top ten since I first heard it in 1983. I still prefer the original Bowie mix.
Iggy was punk before the word existed as a music genre. I true icon. And he'd be the first to tell you he's lucky to be alive. Worth your time to dig deeper.
Personally when I listen to it I don't want it to end. Absolutely love it.
It’s rare that a cover greatly improves a song, but Siouxsie and Banshees cover transfoms Iggy’s song for much the better
Down on the Street - The Stooges. One of the best rock songs EVER
Iggy was a proto punk and was very influential on later performers like David Bowie. Check out his earlier work with the Stooges like I Wanna be your Dog
The one that always stood out for me was "Lust For Life" The video got a lot of airplay in the 90's. Tied in with the movie "Trainspotting" about heroin addicts in Scotland.
Hey, y'all, the emperor is naked!
"High on You" I think is the best post-Stooges song by Iggy Pop. "Kill City" as well. Post Stooges in general seemed so different to me, and definitely preferred the Stooges days. "Dirt" (which as well is a bit different from the Stooges norm) is my favorite Iggy & the Stooges song.
HAPPY VD EVERYONE!!
Iggy Pop is a living legend, still ripping, and a driving force of early avant-garde rock.
He must be seen live and more than twice. Do it before he dies if you haven't already.
That dead pan, ho hum, quaalude atmosphere WAS the point of what he was doing with that album. It’s a hallmark of his music.
There’s a unique, dry, ironic edge and deliberate seemingly dumb simplicity to his music that is actually genius.
Listen to that whole album and his album The Idiot and I think you’ll get what he was going for.
The Idiot is my favorite of Iggy's solo albums.
I'm not familiar with too many Iggy Pop's songs, but whenever I happen to hear one I'm always impressed with his music. I can see how he influenced so many artists.
There are a lot of folks that just don't get Iggy. I saw him open up for the Stones at the Silver Dome in Detroit early 80's. The crowd starting throwing stuff at him on stage. Both are still kicking it out. Listen to it again and you will change your view>
A nightride on a S-Bahn through Berlin... how you could never hear the song before is incredible.
This is solo, subtle Iggy. You need the early Stooges stuff where he just comes out and kicks you in the nuts. "Search and Destroy" or "Loose" will do the trick.
Old VW van, sunny day, somewhere with your friends, while they're in the back, driving through the countrysides, blasting this song while staring outside with sunglasses on.
This song gives me a certain adventure, brotherhood, and free feeling.
From your reaction, it sounds like you would appreciate the live version more. It’s got the energy you guys were hoping would come out in this tune. And I’m betting that you will listen to this song over and over again.
This was the second phase of his career sound wise. He’s The Godfather of punk and his best and most famous sound was what he made with the Stooges, arguably on the Raw Power album. Please do “Search and Destroy,” and the whole Raw Power album.
Siouxsie & the Banshees among others did a great cover of this tune.
Appreciate the reactions .. was aware of him back in the day but first I heard this song
Down in the Street!! Come on lads!
A woman fronted band from the 80s called Siouxsie and the Banshees have a great cover of this that many feel is better than Iggy's original. Check it out sometime. ~Be Blessed
Thanks for the Iggy A&A, but you missed the easy A on this album. Title cut - "Lust For Life" is the complete rocker with everything you were missing from "The Passegner". You have absolutely heard the drum riff from "Lust For Life" it's been used on many commercials and talk show intros.
Hey guys so happy you finally hit Iggy but just not sure why you picked this one in particular, the Passenger is a good song but perhaps not the best one for an intro to Iggy and the Stooges. Search and Destroy would be my first pick without a doubt - also a Bowie collaboration which I believe at first Iggy rejected in favor of his own mix but Bowie's version stood the test of time and is now recognized as the best version.
This song grows on you. Released in the 70:s, but became a huge hit on dancefloors in clubs during the 80:s and 90:s.
