This song is great (as is the whole Idiot album) only b/c of Bowie. I don't care if Iggy purist don't consider this a real Iggy album. It rules even if Bowie has his hands on the reigns.
The lyrics are making fun of himself and anyone in the business (of show) who has gained huge success over night and was suddenly overwhelmed by material possessions (a car, a chinese rug, leer jet(??)) and being under the scrutiny of the world (watching him go to the zoo, dance the twist, hop like a frog).
this song is hilarious
Heh. Iggy winding us up?
I don't really like this song. His style is too much like Bowie, and I always think he's better with the Stooges
I love the song, especially the end, when Iggy says OH SHIT as if interrupting the song, and the back vocals repeat!
so, +1. I am (I guess) an Iggy "purist". However, I DO consider this a "real" Iggy album. By the way, Success was on Lust for Life not the Idiot.
I agree that this song is hilarious and it shows how Iggy is both a nut and an artist.. I think Iggy is uncomfortable with the "artist" tag. I also don't think Iggy likes "artist" even though he is one of the most important artist of my generation.
I'm 58 (today is b birth day by the way).and I've always thought of Lust for Life and the Idiot as the "first' Iggy albums (post stooges). He (like Bowie) is a bit hard to pin down and like that. I don't care what "Iggy purist" or "Bowie purist" thin we should feel about these two brilliant and important artist.
Me and my crew (in 1977) didn't think in terms of Iggy vs Bowie. We were just blown away when they started working together. We didn't know what happened to Iggy after Fun House. Then bang! Raw Power and Kill City (plus TV Eye).
Then came the stuff he did with Bowie in 1977. Wow! We were speechless and dumbfounded. We loved it! Iggy elevated Bowie as much as Bowie elevating Iggy.
The Idiot, Lust for Life, Low, Heroes and Lodger are the core albums in my life.
Wow. I should read what my drunkin fingers are flappin out there before I click the "add comments button. Sorry for all the F ups.,
