lou reed doesn't sing on this or any other iggy pop song...all of those voices are iggy's. the "stoned guitar part" was played by david bowie, who ended up playing most of the instruments on the album. i like the story about how just the two of them recorded the song after the other musicians had left the studio, and while iggy said he was happy with it the way it was, david suggested real drums would sound better. iggy disagreed and defended the drum machine: "it kicks ass! it's better than a drummer!" and the rest, as they say, is a song that trent reznor sampled the kick drum from.

kinda funny considering iggy started off as a blues drummer, and has talked about having to "feel" every note you play.
