How do you do that cool dance?
Baby don't split those hot pants
I got these moves that we can do to and sing
I don't look too good in pink
I use to slash myself up
I like to play it tough
Cuts, bruises, blood oozes, bones breaking rough
You gotta handle that stuff
Yeah yeah, tear it up, rip it up, kick it up
Yeah yeah, tear it up, rip it up, kick it up
Yeah yeah, kick it, kick it, kick it
I want to be your cat
Screw that!
I'm not sixteen but I got leather boots and suede
Ah go fuck your pain away
I heard you like kinky shit
That just depends who I'm with
What is it S&M or some kind of toy?
Like you said search and destroy
Some people don't like my crotch
Because it's got fuzzy spots
But if you play Moses you need burning bush baby
And that is just what I've got
Yeah yeah, tear it up, rip it up, kick it up
Yeah yeah, tear it up, rip it up, kick it up
Yeah yeah, tear it up, rip it up, kick it up
Yeah yeah, kick it, kick it, kick it
And if you lay down with sin
Escape the city I'm in
Come on and knock'em where its rocking non-stop
Make your way to Berlin
Baby don't split those hot pants
I got these moves that we can do to and sing
I don't look too good in pink
I like to play it tough
Cuts, bruises, blood oozes, bones breaking rough
You gotta handle that stuff
Yeah yeah, tear it up, rip it up, kick it up
Yeah yeah, kick it, kick it, kick it
Screw that!
I'm not sixteen but I got leather boots and suede
Ah go fuck your pain away

But if you play Moses you need burning bush baby
And that is just what I've got
Yeah yeah, tear it up, rip it up, kick it up
Yeah yeah, tear it up, rip it up, kick it up
Yeah yeah, kick it, kick it, kick it
Escape the city I'm in
Come on and knock'em where its rocking non-stop
Make your way to Berlin

bessssst verse. <3 hahaha.
whats s & m? this is joy hey, iggy pop and peaches, good combination.
i'm pretty sure iggy says "fuzzy FOTCH" instead of "spots." although i'm not sure what fotch is. does anyone know if this whole song was improvised? it sounds very much like they just started rhyming off each other.
i'm pretty sure it's spots.
what a kick ass song.
I'm not sixteen but I gots leather boots and suede
Reference to Iggy Pop's Sweet Sixteen? "Sweet Sixteen in leather boots"
I love the interplay in this one between Peaches and Iggy, especially the in-references to each other's songs.
It's fairly obvious what it's about I think, a pair of rockers hitting on one another...
but it's not just a pair of rockers getting sexual (flirting seems to soft a word).

they are bantering and poking fun at the other's expense, and mocking the other's songs and persona.

what elevates this above other duets/collaborations is the fact that are SO SIMILAR AS ARTISTS! Think about(a) their energetic on-stage personas, (b) their punk/rebel messages of liberation (sexual or otherwise), and (c) their desire to break away from the soul-less, cookie-cutter pop star stereotypes and be fearless iconoclasts.

That last one, point c, is ESPECIALLY visible in the music video: together they destroy zombies...
That last one, point c, is ESPECIALLY visible in the music video: together they destroy zombies that are obvious effigies of superficial pop stars and their uninspired, boring music. It is no accident that one is in a bikini and it is also no accident that the setting could easily be a recording studio office building.
I hated this song when I first heard it, but now I'm hooked. If I were a singer, I'd duet with a guy to this.
ya this song is THE fucking shit.
boss song!
Peaches and Iggy Pop... Geez, what could go wrong...?
